I just love blue zombies. While this isn't zombie tribal, the interaction between the illusions and the skaabs was too good to pass up. The illusions have an excellent P/T ratio, offering good aggro. In addition, the main drawback of playing the illusions is negligible in this deck. I want my creatures in the grave. Perhaps the best card in the deck is the Phantasmal Image. It costs very little, and can copy my largest zombies without needing the additional cost of exiling. This deck plays very well in my experience, offering early game aggro backed up with late game power. I am always looking for suggestions, so fire away if you have any.
