This is a modified version of the blue/black zombie deck that everyone is trying out with Prized Amalgam. After lots of testing...i've come to the conclusion that Relentless Dead isn't all that great in a dual colored deck. Prized Amalgam seemed to make lots of players instantly shoot for a dual colored deck with zombies, and with tap lands...relentless dead is just losing some speed and synergy.

There are quite a few combo's to be played around with in this deck, you need to play very controlling with your instants and sorceries in the early game to really see this deck shine. This deck is really slow off the start! Mid to late game will start to pay off if you can play control for the first half of the game! Also, be sure to use Rogue's Passage when the board state is filled up to make your bigger zombies unblockable and finish them off.

Edit after many times playing this deck i've revised it a bit. Removed Crow of Dark Tidings in favor of a more controlling strategy. Crow is good at filling the graveyard...but hes also good at screwing you out of the valuable removal spells you need to keep this deck going in the current meta!

Anyways this is my first deck on here...and i'm sure there is room for improvement. Any advice is welcome!
