Win Conditions

Infinite Combo Show

Rooftop Storm + Gravecrawler + Nantuko Husk + Damage Trigger

or

Phyrexian Altar + Gravecrawler + Damage Trigger

Damage Triggers

These are our options to do something when Gravecrawler enters or leaves the battlefied, they are Ayara, First of Locthwain, Diregraf Captain and Plague Belcher

Go Wide and Swing Show

When we are not clamoring for our infinite combo we create a horde of zombie tokens and after we get enough or the opportunity arises we go face, nothing too fancy.

Zombie Token Generation

Our options for building an undead hoard are Diregraf Colossus, Headless Rider, Lich Lord of Unx, Tormod, the Desecrator, Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, Death Tyrant and Endless Ranks of the Dead with Gravecrawler being the easiest trigger for many of these with its ability to be cast from the graveyard but alternative trigger options with a similar effects being Narfi, Betrayer King & Relentless Dead

Zombie Buffs

With these options we take our wimpy 2/2 zombies and get them a gym membership. We use Bladestitched Skaab, Diregraf Captain, Lord of the Undead, Undead Warchief and Narfi, Betrayer King to help them get jacked. However, buff zombies are cool and all but we really want some spice in the mix to get us a little closer to super zombie territory, so we give our guys deathtouch with Death Baron and flying with Hordewing Skaab This gives that little extra kick and intimidation.

Synergy/Combos

Just a few cards that go well together.

Headless Rider + Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver Show

So what's cool about these is that when our non-token creature dies we get 2 zombie tokens and when our Zombie dies we get to replace it with another Decayed Zombie giving a total of 3 tokens for 1 non-token creature death which I think is wild.

Necroduality + Grave Betrayal Show

Not only steal our opponents creatures but create a copy of it, lol rub salt in the wound.

Dralnu, Lich Lord + Tormod, the Desecrator Show

So obviously we get Tormod's trigger when get our creatures out of the graveyard but we also get the trigger when we flashback cards with Dranlu's ability.

Tutors

To help us get our combo pieces we use Entomb, Corpse Harvester,Grim Tutor, Sidisi, Undead Vizier & Buried Alive

It might be good to replace Entomb with one of the other tutors but we do have quite a few ways to bring creatures back from the graveyard.

Reanimation

Some cards have some self contained resurrection which are convenient when starting to build combo engines, these are Gravecrawler, Narfi, Betrayer King & Relentless Dead While other cards help us to resurrect any of our other creatures, Relentless Dead, Lord of the Undead, Havengul Lich, Unearth, Unholy Grotto & Reanimate

Graveyard Protection

Since we hope to be able to constantly interact with our graveyard some graveyard protection is a must but is kinda tough to come by. Elixir of Immortality, Counterspell, Redirect, Orbs of Warding & Rewind are our options to stop attacks on our graveyard.
