I feel pretty good about this list right now. I would still love critiques and suggestions, especially from people who have had experience on either side of the table with this deck.

It's Alive!!! — July 24, 2016

Edit

This is the list I have so far. At the moment it feels really solid in playtesting.

Creatures:

Cryptbreaker: Easily my favorite card from EMN at the moment. It's a fantastic play on almost any turn. The only time you don't want to play it is on the second turn where it's just a 1/1. First turn that's okay because it's more likely to survive due to low amounts of turn 1 interaction. Early game it turns your entire hand, most efficiently,Elder Deep-Fiend, Prized Amalgam, and Haunted Dead into 2/2 zombies with flash which is great. And later on it turns into card advantage to help progress the game in stale board states. It also makes it easier to leave up Relentless Dead for turn 3 so you can have bounce mana open.

Relentless Dead: A fantastic bear that is difficult to block, and annoying to try to kill for control decks.

Prized Amalgam: 3/3 for 3 which is decent stats, that also provides discard/sacrifice fodder to make other cards better. Makes Cryptbreaker, Haunted Dead, and Collective Brutality so much better early on. Also makes Gisa and Geralf disgusting.

Fleshbag Marauder: Efficient removal spell that synergises well with the rest of the deck. Another card that combos really well with Gisa and Geralf. Also becomes one sided if you have a Diregraf Colossus

Diregraf Colossus: Makes all of the zombies in your hand and your graveyard much more powerful. Token generation makes it a fantastic early game creature, while the counters make it a good play later in the game.

Gisa and Geralf: Powerful reanimator spell that makes all my self-discard and self-mill effects better. Auto include in any U/B zombie deck IMO. Only reason I keep it to 2 copies is because of creature type and legend status.

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet: Also not a zombie, however it synergises well with them, as well as having great stats, and an ability that dominates the mirror match.

Haunted Dead: Great utility creature that provides a potential instant speed flyer, and combos well with Prized Amalgam, Cryptbreaker, and Collective Brutality.

Elder Deep-Fend: Huge, instant speed beater that taps down their defense for a turn to help swing momentum in your favor, or take an even stronger lead. Also works well against control/counter magic.

Spells:

Collective Brutality: Very versatile spell that kills small creatures, slows down control, and adds a little bit of life gain if necessary.

Dark Salvation: Decent kill spell that also strengthens your board.

Planeswalker:

Liliana, the Last Hope: Basically designed for a zombie deck. The plus 1 helps control their side. The minus 2 helps get back non-zombie creatures in your yard if you discard them to Cryptbreaker or Collective Brutality. Obviously the ultimate is very powerful and difficult to stop.
