Every time I build zombie tribal, I end up removing Cemetery Reaper. But maybe that's just me. Also, though, Graveborn Muse seems like it has the potential to kill you, so maybe I'd replace that.

Other candidates for replacement would be Risen Executioner, which gets very expensive to recur very quickly, or Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet, which isn't the best of sac outlets.

And you can tell me if Custodi Lich is worth the cost. Personally, I'd trade that one out for Priest of Forgotten Gods, which is underutilized and multifunctional.

I see what you mean about Cemetery Reaper, I feel the same way sometimes. I do like Graveborn Muse because I play her with a sac outlet already in play. I usually play it early on or after a board wipe, I love how this card is a time bomb.

I agree about Risen Executioner and would not mind dropping him, even though my graveyard is usually empty unless it is late game. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet serves more for token generation and control then for a sac outlet.

I like Custodi Lich because it makes you the monarch for at least a turn and you can sac him for a decent amount of zombies. So I use him as good fooder, but I do like your point about Priest of Forgotten Gods. Will have to ponder that one.

I will have to play test the deck a little to see where I can cut cards, I appreciate the feedback so thank you.

@Epicurus, so I pondered a bit while I play tested the new settings in the deck and what you mentioned really helped me tune the deck.

I had realized that I put to much emphasis on having anthem effects, 12 was to high of a count. I eventually settled for taking out sun, Liliana's Mastery, Risen Executioner, and Vanquisher's Banner.

I focused more on adding draw and tweaking the mana base and land count. I added Demonic Tutor, Curse of Disturbance, Culling the Weak, and Court of Ambition.

Have you tried cards like Fallen Ideal before? Fallen Ideal is awesome because it lets you double the number of zombie tokens you have each turn, while also giving one zombie a gigantic attack boost and flying to hit a player for a lot of damage. I used it when I used to have a Gisa commander. And the enchantment easily makes its way back to your hand.

@Lanzo493, thanks for the suggestion. I do remember that card, for a 4 mana sink you double your zombies. Although it does require some setup.

I will play around with it and see if I can fit it in the deck.

Hello Rasaru, sorry for the very late reply. I have not been on Tapped Out in a very long time.

There is no new addition to the deck because I stopped maintaining it. Essentially it is a small primer for anyone looking to build a simple zombie token deck.

The only real thing to do is improve the individual pieces as sets come out, like better draw engines or zombies. I am sorry I don't have anything exciting to add for you.
