GREETINGS!

With the release of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, I reworked my Snow Zombie Tribal deck featuring Narfi, Betrayer King to include Champion of the Perished, Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia, and Poppet Stitcher  .

OVERVIEW

Before rotation, I designed this deck to focus on self-milling. Now that I’ve lost Mire Triton and other higher value self-mill cards, self-mill is now secondary. My new objective is to generate zombie tokens using Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia, Poppet Stitcher  , Rotten Reunion, and Startle. I am including as many instants and sorceries as possible to increase the odds of triggering Stitcher, like Consider, Otherworldly Gaze, Village Rites, etc. Once the time is right I can transform Stitcher into Poppet Factory, shedding the pesky decayed keyword from my horde. With the Factory in play, Jadar creates a 3/3 zombie token during each of my end steps.

Each zombie I summon pumps up Champion of the Perished. Narfi and his Bladestitched Skaabs strengthen the horde and are good blockers.

Snow lands enable me to resurrect Narfi from the grave at a discount. Agadeem's Awakening   doubles as a land and can reanimate multiple creatures during the endgame, especially Stitcher.

Bloodchief's Thirst eliminates problematic creatures and walkers. You Come to a River is versatile - it either bounces any nonland permanent or enables a surprise finisher to penetrate my opponent’s defenses with a giant Champion or Ebondeath, Dracolich.

The sideboard is a work in progress. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
