Zombie deck with Desecration Demon. It's a beast! Got 3rd at GPT Charlotte. Present here a stronger version (I think) with a splash of green.

This is not the fastest zombie deck. It plays on card advantage and control of the battlefield. You do not need Desecration Demon to ever attack: it is just as good if it acts as constant removal for your opponent's creatures.

• Mutilate gets rid of opponents' creatures without killing your Desecration Demon ; control how many swamps you are putting down, because you don't need many for the deck to work. Use excess landsto discard with Liliana of the Veil

• Liliana of the Veil deals with hexproof creatures or lone creature after Mutilate and helps empty opponent's hand

• Vraska the Unseen can destroy any pesky permanent, including planeswalkers

• Curse of Death's Hold prevents opponent from sacrificing small tokens, mana dorks, Gravecrawler or Snapcaster Mage to tap [[Desecration Demon]

• Grim Backwoods to sacrifice my creatures targeted for removal and especially exile and keep drawing for late game

SIDEBOARD

• Abrupt Decay can get rid of annoying enchantments like Rest in Peace or Detention Sphere or of artefacts like Runechanter's Pike

• Sever the Bloodline helps against zombies
