"Dear Gisa,

Despite your past offenses, I extend you an invitation. Let us join together in this charitable venture. I claim the Thraben Cathedral, but the rest of the city is yours.

Oh, I must introduce you to my Skaab General. I named him Grimgrin in honor of your face.

Your loving brother,

Geralf"

"Geralf,

You've piqued my interest. I will join my forces with yours. Half the city is acceptable. But I demand half the corpses as well.

Gisa"

To me the card Gisa and Geralf invokes a sense of insane cooperation, so to that point the main idea of this deck is simple, Put as many (dead) Bodies on the battlefield as fast as you can, and have your zombie Lords power them up, give them evasion and other bonuses with artifacts and enchantments all the while taking advantage of the recursion that Gisa and Geralf provide to ensure you never run out of shamble rotting troops.

Update: I've Redone most of the deck while still keeping the original idea in tact. I removed some mana and changing the entire mana base again, this was to allow for more creature spells and to cut back mana flooding (This is still an issue and the only way to really fix it is to add more fetches and the expensive dual land). These proportions (36 land, 32 creatures and 31 other) seem to work. The contents of the deck are still subject to change however
