This is my version of the post-rotation Zombies. The deck aims to be competitive and not just for casual games.

I did my best to keep the curve low and be super agressive. Lotleth Troll is a powerhouse and synergizes perfectly with Gravecrawler and Dreg Mangler . Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord profits from the Lotleth mechanic and Grisly Salvage . The four copies of Blood Artist push through some additional damage while they keep me alive at the same time. Rancor can be put on a Crawler for example until i sac him to get it on my pumped Jarad. Tragic Slip and Abrupt Decay clear the board on my opponent's side so i can get in very early. Geralf's Messenger is a very good card on its own but can also be a pretty nice finisher sacced into Jarad. Deathrite Shaman is super versatile since he provides graveyardhate, lifegain and direct damage + a target for Lotleth Troll and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord .

The only thing i might lack is good card draw so im considering to throw in a few copies of Sign in Blood . But i don't know what to cut.

My current Sideboard plan is going Jund to be more control. This way i can fit in Vraska the Unseen .

Please tell me what you think about my idea (and the Sideboard) and i'd love to hear some suggestions on how to improve this list.
