I started playing Magic about a month ago. I really like the idea of creature control and gaining life. I built this deck with the cards I have rather than buying towards a deck.

I focused on a couple cards I had 4 of and thought could work well together.

1. Chaplain's Blessing for life gain.
2. Shamble Back for early game 2/2 zombies.
3. Murder and Silverstrike and other one offs to control my opponent's creatures.
4. Big bombs for late game to try and finish my opponent off.

My sideboard isn't really a proper sideboard it was the cards I took out when I went over 60. I'm only playing with a friend right now so I have yet to make use of a proper sideboard.

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
