This deck wants to be as aggressive as possible. To do this, I'd take out the Think Twice s, card:Ghoulcaller's Chant and a Vile Rebirth . You want to max out on Diregraf Ghoul Tragic Slip . You shouls also include at least 2 Mortarpod s. They get pretty annoying and ridiculous with Gravecrawler and Black Cat .

If you get the money, you shouls definitely include card:Geralf's Messenger as a 4-of. He is simply amazing in general, but especially when used with Mortarpod .

You might want to also take out the Infinite Reflection . It costs too much and there's no real point to copy most of your guys anyway.

Hope this helped!

I have a deck almost exactly like this one and I must say having one or two Rooftop Storm instead of the Infinite Reflection will make sacrifice Gravecrawler shenanigans, well shenanigans. Gravecrawler , Grimgrin, Corpse-Born , Rooftop Storm , and one or two Diregraf Captain s is fun, tokens and damage everywhere.

Oh wow, infinite damage/+1 counters... Fair enough. Though I would just go with one Rooftop Storm . Otherwise, they might be dead-draws.

Hey man whatever works. Still fun to see an opponents face when you just pick an arbitrary number of times to sacrifice Gravecrawler to Grimgrin, Corpse-Born and he becomes something like one match where I was playing vs my boss' green deck and he had Elderscale Wurm on the field. None of my damage went through but when I notified him that Grimgrin worked out and now was 20,000 power and toughness we both had a laugh.

I had the idea of using Infinite Reflection specifically on Diregraf Captain . The idea of having some 7 8/8 Diregraf Captain s on the field felt like a funny win con to me. Granted, it's a pretty vulnerable win con, being an enchantment attached to a creature.

I know how funny Rooftop Storm can be, as I have toyed with a mess of a deck that revolved around it and a lot of recursion in casual play a bit, a while back.Although the Grimgrin, Corpse-Born - Gravecrawler - Diregraf Captain combo is an instant win with Rooftop Storm out, it's a 4-part combo, 2 parts of which are costly and of low card count in the deck. Personally, I'd save that combo for a more controlly deck.

Thanks for reminding me of Mortarpod , I had considered it for a while, but ended up forgetting about it.

I know having at least a 3rd card:Geralf's Messenger would make him a mainboard guy, but I only have 2, and I'm still missing 3 Gravecrawler s.

I'll consider removing the card:Ghoulcaller's Chant, although I find it pretty useful to have under my current Infinite Reflection win con, to have the most non-token creatures out that I can when I use it.

Thanks for your comments, I'm always open to advice.

Do you have any...

...

Birthing Pod s?!

They're really great if you are going for this kind of thing, and they're at an all-time low price now. Used to be $10, now you can find them for $2-3.

If not, I would support taking the Infinite Reflection out and putting in Rooftop Storm , because it goes well with your card:Ghoulcaller's Chant. I would also put in as many copies of card:Geralf's Messenger that you can get your hands on.

Sideboard notes: Master Thief , Undead Alchemist , Mikaeus, the Unhallowed , and maybe some Crypt Creeper s should be in Sideboard, both with and without Birthing Pod .

I'm trying to keep it standard, preparing for post-rotation, so I won't consider Birthing Pod (I have none anyway).

I decided to replace my 2 Unbreathing Horde s with my 2 card:Geralf's Messengers, probably will add more if I get more.

I still want to playtest the deck with Infinite Reflection for a bit, just to see if my funny idea is worth it (even if not the best).

And of course, sideboard needs a bit of thinking too... I need to check the Avacyn Restored and M13 zombies a little more.

Your suggestions are appreciated.

Maybe its just me, but I am a huge fan of Grimgrin, Corpse-Born . Unfortunatly I am not sure if he will fit your curve, but he might be worth looking into if you are on a budget and he is jun with Diregraf Captain
