Gisa and Geralf were spoiled as one card today! As an avid Black player and zombie lover, as soon as I saw their second ability was "On each of your turns, you may cast a zombie creature card from your Graveyard," I knew I had a card that could cause moans and sighs of disgust at my LGS when I made a deck for it. And thus, this deck instantly sprung into mind.

Overall, it should play like a shell of a Grimgrin, Corpse-Born EDH deck, but made even better by the lower CMC and more versatile abilities of Gisa and Geralf. No clue how it will play out yet (because the card's still unreleased), but I pray to Mikaeus that it will turn out as good as other U/B zombie tribal decks!

The point of it is simple: dump as many zombies as possible either onto the field or the graveyard, and cast them regardless of which they land. Gisa and Geralf, Havengul Lich, Yawgmoth's Will, Living Death; they all help you out when it comes to reanimation and overall fun with the deck.

Obviously, the deck is weak to one thing: graveyard hate, whether its through Rest in Peace or via Angel of Finality, exiling really hits this deck in the crown jewels. It's definitely important to adapt this deck to your Meta if they do have a lot of graveyard exiling, adding counterspells as necessary to ensure you thwart your non-zombie loving opponent's plans (because blue).

In all, I hope you enjoy the decklist as much as I hope to, and always remember that recommendations and feedback are always welcome! Thanks guys!

Took out a couple high mana cost cards like Sheoldred and Phenax, replacing them with mana rocks and some mana spells. Right now, I'm preparing to build this deck IRL, so I feel it could be fine-tuned just a little better. Fingers crossed for a Zombie themed C17 deck!
