This deck is based off of returning creatures from your graveyard and your opponent's graveyards. It is also a Zombie tribal deck and has plenty of combos in it. I designed this deck completely by myself and I am looking to improve it and would love suggestions!

Recursion combos:

Marchesa, the Black Rose + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed your creatures can not die.

Dictate of Erebos + Grave Betrayal No need to worry about your creatures dying when you will just take your opponent's creatures!

Havengul Lich + Rooftop Storm allows you to cast Zombies from your graveyard for one mana.

Infinite Combos:

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + Rooftop Storm + Diregraf Captain + Gravecrawler infinite damage.You can switch out Grimgrin and Rooftop Storm for Phyrexian Altar and still have the combo work also.

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + Secrets of the Dead + Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm play all of the zombies in your deck. You can switch out Grimgrin for Phyrexian Altar and still have the combo work.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Rooftop Storm infinite mana

Faces of the Past + Stronghold Assassin + Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm destroy all of your opponent's nonblack creatures.

Other Combos:

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Zombie Master Zombies are unblockable. You can also switch out Urborg with Contamination and still have the combo work.

As I am sure you have noticed the majority of my combos are not dependent upon all of the combo pieces in them, they can be switched out with other cards and still have the combo work perfectly fine. One combo piece I have found trouble with finding a possible replacement for if needed is Gravecrawler. The only effective one I have found is Faces of the Past + Gravespawn Sovereign along with 5 other Zombies. But this would prove difficult to obtain. Either way though it would still work.

All of the cards in the Maybeboard (and Sideboard of course) I already own, but are not officially in the deck. If you think they are a must have in my deck, please let me know, and even better, let me know what you think I should switch out with it!

I hope you enjoy my deck!
