This is a Ghoulcaller Gisa EDH deck

I decided to go a route a little less conventional than "all-zombies". While some of the zombie tribal support is indeed useful enough to run in this deck, the primary focus is simply to have large P/Ts that can generate a LOT of zombies at once.

I didn't like the idea of zombie-tribal because zombies typically act as a tribe that wins through numbers, which means that the general has very little action because she would only get 3-4 zombies on a good activation.

Plus, some of the zombie tribal cards, such as Call to the Grave and Noxious Ghoul are pretty discriminatory towards non-zombies, and I wanted a good number of non-zombie cards in the deck.

Focus on the strengths of mono-black, which is in its mana production due to the many doublers available to the color as well as cabal coffers, as well as the ability to make sure they never have creatures through "grave pact" effects.

Round that out with some of black's more efficient card draw and some of its recursion cards and that's a deck.

This one also has a nice sac-theme to take advantage of the large number of zombies you churn out.

This deck is casual and not designed to be super-tuned.
