Deck{U}{B}:

Fill your watery graveyard with instant and sorcery spells until they Rise from the Tides in the form of 2/2 Zombie creature tokens in this fun to play, Zombie-themed tempo/control deck.

Sling low mana spells whilst attacking aggressively in the early game with prowess creatures Spellweaver Eternal and Voracious Reader  . Once your Zombie lords Lord of the Accursed and Death Baron enter the battlefield, finish off your opponent with God-Eternal Kefnet and a horde of buffed up Zombie tokens thanks to Rise from the Tides.

Creatures:

• Spellweaver Eternal (afflict, prowess)
• Curious Homunculus   / Voracious Reader   (instant/sorcery mana ramp, prowess)
• Eternal of Harsh Truths (afflict, conditional card draw)
• Lord of the Accursed (+1/+1 anthem effect, activated ability: zombies gain menace)
• Death Baron (+1/+1 anthem effect, zombies gain deathtouch)
• God-Eternal Kefnet (flying, copy spells, recursive)

Instant & Sorcery spells:

This package of spells gives you the tools to control and tempo the match until you are ready to cast finisher Rise from the Tides which gets stronger with each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard.

• Consider (surveil 1, draw a card)
• Thoughtseize (discard)
• Compelling Deterrence (return target non-land permanent to its owners hand, then opponent discards a card if you control a zombie)
• Cemetery Recruitment (return target creature from your graveyard to your hand, then draw a card)
• Hero's Downfall (removal)
