FastFood Zombie is a tribal deck that utilizes creature sacrifice and return from the graveyard abilities. Feed your creatures, gain life, siphon off life, draw extra cards, and wipe the board every round. With a clear battlefield victory is certain. If you love zombies with synergy then feed into the fastfood zombie.
The Dead Never Rest
The Gravecrawler has an incredible ability to played over and over again from your graveyard. This is a key feature of the deck that pumps up the Carrion Feeder or Phyrexian Ghoul , and will have you gaining life while simultaneously draining theirs courtesy of the Blood Artist. Having the Gravecrawler in play is crucial, so if you aren't fortunate enough to draw one in the opening hand, or it gets exiled during play, just go fetch one with Entomb. When all else fails you'll have to rely on Butcher Ghoul .
Bring out your Dead!
Most games you're opponent will have trouble keeping their creatures on the board. When they drop anything on the board you'll toast it right away with a Geth's Verdict , and drain another life. If you have your Blood Artist in play, which most of the time you will, they loose 2 life and you gain 1.
Once you have Grave Pact in play it is nearly impossible for your opponents to keep any creature on the board unless they have a very specific sideboard to handle this. Each round you'll be sacrificing the Gravecrawler four times, forcing opponents to sacrifice four creatures, causing the loss of 4 life, and gaining 4 life yourself. It should be an open door, so go ahead and swing with an ever growing Carrion Feeder
Your Loss my Gain
You'll really begin to drain off your opponents life once you get the Geralf's Messenger into play. Sacrifice it, drain a life, gain a life. It returns to play, drain another 2, sacrifice it again to drain another 1 life and gain 1. Cast Unearth and repeat the process which will drain a total of 12 life without ever having to declare an attacker. At this time your Carrion Feeder should be rather beefy with +1/+1 counters and itching for a fight. Let it loose for some combat damage.
More Brains!
Decks with a low CMC average can tend to leave you with an empty hand rather quickly, which will allow your opponent a little breathing room. Zombies don't like anything breathing around them, so to remedy this you'll have plenty of draw options and prevent your opponent from gaining that lost life back. You'll have plenty of life to utilize either of these two cards, so be rather liberal with Erebos, God of the Dead draw ability when you get him into play.
Sideboard
Below I have the sideboard included in with a brief explanation of each card within the deck, and how I would be swapping things around. It has a mixture of a little more removal for creatures and artifacts; with a splash of protection from white. This is always changing as I play the deck more and more.
- Gravecrawler Has key ability to be replayed from the graveyard.
- Carrion Feeder and Phyrexian Ghoul abuse this ability to grow out of control.
- Grave Pact keeps the board clear of other player's creatures.
-
Geth's Verdict
to keep the resistance light as you as you swing in for combat damage.
- Innocent Blood is your sideboard swap for multi-player games.
- Blood Artist to gain life and deal damage as you continuously sacrifice the crawler.
- Geralf's Messenger can get nasty. drop into play, then sac, then bring back with Unearth sac twice more. if you have Blood Artist in play that is 10 life and you never took a swing yet.
- Sign in Blood Draw to keep things moving, or do last bit of damage if needed.
- Entomb to search and Unearth to pull the creature you need.
- Erebos, God of the Dead is to stop the life gain and increase your draw to speed things up
- Gray Merchant of Asphodel is sideboard swap for multi-player matchup.
- Liliana of the Dark Realms potential swap to fetch lands so you can increase the number of times you can sacrifice the crawler, plus Deck thinning.
- Butcher Ghoul when your Gravecrawler just isn't available
