What is the deck?

The deck is very fast resilient legacy homebrew made completely by myself. It is quite synergistic, as you might expect from a tribal deck. It is not as easy to use as a normal aggro deck because you have to manage your resources well, such as life total (which can drop to a very low amount) the number of creatures you have (this can drop very fast if you just sacrifice your zombies to Carrion Feeder , and your graveyard, which as to stay full for Rotting Giant .

How does this deck play?

This deck plays by dropping a large number of small fast zombies, that have good p/t for cost, and swinging with them. Some of them have utility affects. Shepard of Rot allows us to deal massive amounts of damage to our opponents. It will often drop a discard spell first, play some zombies, then kill anything that gets in our way.

What cards do we use?

Thoughtseize and Cabal Therapy-Good discard. Insanely useful to kill off anything that could hose our zombies. Cabal Therapy has good synergy with Gravecrawler.

Tragic Slip, Dismember, and Disfigure-Targeted removal that can kill annoying creatures that get in the way our horde.

Blood Scrivener -This card is very useful because it allows us to refill our hand once we play everything in it (which happens often) and its a zombie.

Carnival of Souls -A card that I'm considering taking out, because I don't want to waste turn two playing no zombies. However, we can chain quite a few zombie off each other. Also combos with Carrion Feeder and Gravecrawler.

Carnophage -A one drop zombie that is a 2/2. Super useful, and it helps the deck out a lot.

Carrion Feeder -A tricky card. It allows us to get a giant zombie, but it also shouldn't just sacrifice willy-nilly because then Shepard of Rot dosen't work as well. It could also get Swords to Plowsharesed. Synergy with Rotting Giant .

Diregraf Ghoul-A 1 for a 2/2 zombie with virtually 0 drawbacks. So what if it ETB tapped? I don't need to be blocking with it anyway.

Gravecrawler-Recurring Zombie that is a 2/1 for 1. It might just be the best zombie in the deck. Synergy with Carrion Feeder .

Rotting Giant -A 3/3 for 2 that has a drawback that the deck can reasonably ignore. Synergy with Carrion Feeder .

Sarcomancy -A 2/2 for 1 with no drawback in this deck. Plus, you can choose what token you want to use (there's lots of them).

Sheperd of Rot -Hurts you as much as it hurts your opponent, but if played right, it can be very powerful. Use with caution.

16 Lands-These lands are a working proggress. Please tell me how I should balence utility with not getting colored screwed....

Do you own the deck?

No, but if the deck gets enough support, I will buy it. Most of it is pretty cheap. I have a very low budget, so I might l play a version without Wasteland/other expensive cards.

What advice do you need?

-Should I use Carnival of Souls ?

-Should I use Accursed Centaur ?

-How can I balence ultiity with not getting color screwed?

-Any and all advice is welcome. I don't play legacy very often, so advice for combating decks in the meta would be helpful.

Reworked the description so that it actually talks about whats in the deck, rather than the old version. Added Deathrite Shaman. While not a zombie, he is insanely useful, and I can't wait to try him out!
