Have you ever been to a party that's not very lively, almost as though all the party goers were dead? Well here's your grave invitation to another one, held by the one and only Lord of Tresserhorn.

Just as with any party, this one kind of sucks without anybody there. However, once some people start showing up, then things start to get interesting. For that reason, it helps to spread the word. Using the following cards help to accomplish that.
Chromatic Lantern
Expedition Map
Nightscape Familiar
Rooftop Storm
Sol Ring
Undead Warchief
Graveborn Muse
Forgotten Creation

Even though people know about the party, they might not show up unless they know some cool kids are going to be there. All of the following cards help to get other people to come to the party.
Cemetery Reaper
Diregraf Colossus
Endless Ranks of the Dead
Grave Titan
Lich Lord of Unx
Liliana's Reaver
Unscythe, Killer of Kings

Even a party full of people can feel dull and empty if no one is partying. The following creatures can help get the party pumping.
Cemetery Reaper
Death Baron
Diregraf Captain
Frightshroud Courier
Lord of the Undead
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
Risen Executioner
Undead Warchief

Every party has that one guy who always knows how to sneak in whatever you want. Cards like this include
Cover of Darkness
Distortion Strike
Frightshroud Courier
Rogue's Passage
Soaring Seacliff
Wonder
Zombie Master

As fate would have it, there is another party going on right down the street! No one wants to be second best, so use some cards to help you party twice as hard.
Assault Strobe
Berserkers' Onslaught
Dictate of the Twin Gods
Psychotic Fury
Rage Reflection
Savage Beating
Temur Battle Rage

Despite partying harder than ever before, people are still succumbing to the temptation of the other party. Thankfully, you know how to get them back.
Crypt Champion
Gravecrawler
Lord of the Undead
Reanimate
Risen Executioner
Sepulchral Primordial
Sheoldred, Whispering One
Prized Amalgam
Unholy Grotto
Volrath's Stronghold
Zombify

Great, now people have stopped leaving your party. But you still have to get back at the other party for getting rid of your friends.
Call to the Grave
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born
Chandra's Ignition
Dictate of Erebos
Dreadbore
Festering Goblin
Grave Pact
Grixis Charm
Hero's Downfall
Shambling Goblin
Sheoldred, Whispering One
Terminate
Victim of Night

Why bother stopping your revenge there? You may as well take the fight directly at the other party's host.
Chandra's Ignition
Diregraf Captain
Gray Merchant of Asphodel
Kederekt Parasite
Shepherd of Rot
Soul's Fire
Warstorm Surge

Lord of Tresserhorn/Zombie deck that wins primarily on commander damage.

Basically, do whatever you can to give Lord of Tresserhorn +1 power and preferably double-strike.

Use the other cards as decoys, distractions, or alternate ways to win.

Distortion Strike + Lord of Tresserhorn for a killing an opponent 2 rounds after use.

Distortion Strike + Lord of Tresserhorn +Dictate of the Twin Gods/Rage Reflection/Berserkers' Onslaught/Psychotic Fury/Assault Strobe/Temur Battle Rage to kill 2 opponents in 2 rounds after use.

Distortion Strike + Lord of Tresserhorn + Savage Beating +Dictate of the Twin Gods/Rage Reflection/Berserkers' Onslaught/Psychotic Fury/Assault Strobe/Temur Battle Rage to kill 3 opponents 2 rounds after use.

I think it could do with less return and more cheaper creatures, because there have been some hands with plenty of return cards but no creatures to possibly use them on. Maybe cards with 0 casting cost like Ornithopter or any of the kobolids.
