@killroy726 haha thanks for that. simple oversight, must have accidentally clicked it twice by accident. there isnt 2 in the physical build.

Necrotic Ooze might be abusable in this format. (essentially a cheaper, second havengul lich)
As always Batterskull would always be a nice add.
Diabolic Revelation should def be added.
Thespian's Stage could be useful
all that comes to mind atm, looks fun as hell and I'm very interested in seeing final product because i was tossing around zombie commander myself :)

I'd replace Duskmantle, House of Shadow with Nephalia Drownyard
November 18, 2013 12:47 p.m.
oh oh, and Erebos, God of the Dead for a life cap on your opponents, card advantage, and possibly a hard to remove beater
November 18, 2013 1:03 p.m.
I'd say Whip of Erebos would be better because you can have life link to defend against aggro and if a creature win con is in the graveyard your win
November 18, 2013 1:16 p.m.
A Nightscape Familiar would be very nice in this deck :O

+1 for the Monty Python reference and zombie tribal. You should play both Erebos, God of the Dead and Whip of Erebos in this deck, since capping you're opponents' life total is incredibly useful if you can also gain life, and each of the two cards have a good use outside of the other. Curse of Inertia seems pretty dead in this deck (pun not intended), so I'd probably cut it for one of the two cards above, and Helm of the Ghastlord doesn't seem to do that much either.

@Lup3rcal I placed Helm of the Ghastlord there for a placeholder and to just draw out more from the deck but yeah thats probably going to be dropped. Curse of Inertia is in there simply for untapping Grimgrin, Corpse-Born . I considered Hidden Strings over it but I figured I give it a trail run first.
@Lup3rcal & Bababad & magicdai - Whip of Erebos and Erebos, God of the Dead are both being considered. Erebos, God of the Dead is more at this time though. I 'm a huge fan of the Whip of Erebos but there are a few zombies that are powered up by zombies that are in the graveyard too hence why I am debating the issue. but I'll still most likely sneak it in sometime.

magicdai I included Duskmantle, House of Shadow because I dont have an extra Nephalia Drownyard laying about but I might just have both in frankly.

@Bababad- I didn't include Necrotic Ooze mainly because I'm trying to keep it tribal. Batterskull is something that should be added but cost wise its kinda pricey so If i can snag one that would be great otherwise I'll wait. and I'm well aware Lightning Greaves is better than the Mask of Avacyn haha its just a placeholder for until I can snag one for cheap.

Damn! Where's your Zombie Master and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth ?
November 27, 2013 6:29 p.m.
FaustHarbinger says... #17
@DarkRequiem-- Unholy Grotto is a lil pricey. and so is Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth but I definitely agree its a need to get a hold of sometime. Zombie Master is something I'm working to get a hold of also,

In my opinion, you would benefit from having artifacts that give vigilance. One in particular Sword of Vengeance . You would not be disappointed if you ever top-decked this.
A card that I'm particularly smitten with from the new command 2013 is Toxic Deluge . It could get rid of indestructables, which brings me to Sever the Bloodline . Sport removal with flash back... I'm never upset top-decking it.
At some point you may want to invest in mana ramp such as Sol Ring , Solemn Simulacrum , Expedition Map , Wayfarer's Bauble , Armillary Sphere , Chromatic Lantern
Some other staples you should consider running: Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver -- I have never lost an EDH after dropping him on turn 2 or 3, Liliana of the Dark Realms Necromancy -- it can be instant graveyard hate if you need it to be, Hinder , Buried Alive , Beacon of Unrest , Curse of the Swine -- because it exiles, Profane Command -- because of its flexibility, Sheoldred, Whispering One
Other good cards given your deck: Animate Dead , Grisly Spectacle , Relic of Progenitus , Nihil Spellbomb , Mindcrank , Intruder Alarm

Infectious Horror has always been a favorite of mine in multi-player and would work with your tribal.

Because you are running so much mill and that leads me to believe there isn't much reanimation or graveyard hate in your meta, I'm going to suggest that you add more reanimation and ways to abuse the graveyard. Balthor the Defiled , Living Death , Animate Dead , Zombify , Corpse Connoisseur , Buried Alive , Entomb , Vengeful Pharaoh , Avatar of Woe , Beacon of Unrest , Corpse Dance , Geth, Lord of the Vault , all seem good.
Onto some random zombie fun: Vengeful Dead with Tombstone Stairwell , Haakon, Stromgald Scourge with Nameless Inversion and possible Rooftop Storm , Mimic Vat is just good, Arena of the Ancients is good with Grimgrin too, then there are some infinite combos with Artificial Evolution or Xenograft with Xathrid Necromancer or Rotlung Reanimator .
Nice deck overall.

Neat! How about Fatestitcher for untapping? (He's a zombie)
December 12, 2013 6:32 p.m.
SomeDipshit says... #22
Scythe of the Wretched fits the flavor pretty well too -- and it is a good card
December 12, 2013 6:34 p.m.
Nice deck! +1
Tainted Isle or River of Tears are cheap dual that can be added in my opinion. And also, Command Tower .
The tribal aspect, voltron and combo are well designed too. I've seen before Tunnel Vision onto Zombie Apocalypse , but outside 1v1 it's risky.

Interesting deck, and some good useful comments too. I'm building my first zombie tribal, and I'm delighted to have found this one. Some good ideas here.
