My first mono-coloured deck! Lots of zombies with recursion until I ramp up enough to play my big creatures like Sheoldred, Whispering One or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. Rune-Scarred Demon lets me tutor those or whatever other card I need to win.

I was really happy that I "discovered" the Cabal Coffers + Crypt Ghast + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth combo for mana ramp, but then I discovered that like every mono-black uses it. Still, it works pretty well!

Hex Parasite is planeswalker hate, plus it lets me take off the +1/+1 counters that come from undying (via Mikaeus, the Unhallowed), letting my creatures die all over again without penalty!

My main win condition is to make a bunch of zombies and use Zombie Master + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to make them unblockable.

This deck won in a little tournament among my group of Magic-playing friends, and I'm very happy with it. Still, I'm very grateful for any feedback!
