Z-Z-Z-Z-Zombieee Tribal!! Now made possible with the arrival of Risen Executioner. Let's cut to the chase:

1-Drop

• Shambling Goblin: Early drop that can stop any 2 body creature. Can still be a relevant 2/2 in late game if Risen Executioner is in the field. Also the only 1-drop zombie in the current format

2-Drop

• Necromancer's Stockpile: The unusable enchantment from M15 makes a comeback! This helps you filter the deck for Risen Executioner, Corpseweft, or other removal while producing a zombie token. And those zombie token can go a long way

• Black Cat: I chose not to use Waste Not in this deck, along with Duress and Despise. But I couldn't not use this guy. A potential discard with a body which can also be a fodder for Necromancer's Stockpile is good

• Walking Corpse: I like this guy

• Ultimate Price: Contrary to its name, it's quite a cheap price for such a great removal

• Debilitating Injury: Because I can only run 4 Ultimate Price. Can also cripple bigger/multicolored creature for my zombie to finish off

• Damnable Pact: You can use it as a standard draw spell - lose life for more cards, or you can use it late game to burn your opponent's last few life

3-Drop

• Necromancer's Assistant: MY assistant. Filling the grave for my Delve cards and can be a potent 4/2 if Risen Executioner is in the field

• Corpseweft: Clearing my grave to make Risen Executioner easier to revive. Also can make a fat zombie to help break a stall. Quality over quantity

• Sibsig Icebreakers: Another zombie. Also can help to rid any excess Corpseweft/Necromancer's Stockpile in hand

4-Drop

• Risen Executioner: The bread and butter, alpha and omega, the main game. A big zombie is a happy zombie

• Empty the Pits: Technically not a 4-drop, it's a BOMB card that can produce a ton of zombie to swarm the field. Quantity over quality

5-Drop

• Murderous Cut: Because a deck can only have so many Ultimate Price. Also help to manage my grave

Please playtest, comment, and rate the deck!! Thanks!
