Zombies!!!

I've wanted to make a Grimgrin, Corpse-Born deck since Innistad block was in Standard, but never got around to it.

Little synergies that should add up to advantage, like Siren of the Silent Song eating their hand and library, Grimgrin, Corpse-Born destroying creatures, all fueling Cemetery Reaper to give us 2/2 Zombies.

With Diregraf Captain out, sac Gravecrawler to Grimgrin, Corpse-Born X times, they lose X life, huge guy attacks, and we get more 2/2 Zombies.

I only have 1x Cemetery Reaper, or I would run at least one more. I considered cutting Geralf's Messenger entirely so i could run 4x Siren of the Silent Song and Diregraf Captain, but it's just too good, and once I decided to add Gray Merchant of Asphodel, the and Undying to make sure he's still around was an auto-include.

I usually prefer to run card draw, and there is none in this build. I may need to cut a creature or two for Jace's Ingenuity or Sign in Blood.
