This is a Zombie deck utilizing the Standard format that I came up with after the release of Dark Assension. I've had a good few weeks of tweeking and play testing. After a decent tournament run at the local Con, I decided to post it here.

Lots of combos that feed off of Altar's Reap. It makes a lot of things work. Geralf's Messenger into Altar's Reap = 4 life and a bigger zombie. Add in Diregraf Captain for more burn. Or even just Gravecrawler. Either way, you should constantly have morbid up if its working right just from Sacrificing. Then you have the big hitters, Skirsdag High Priest and Grimgrin, Corpse-Born who keep morbid going and either get bigger or put biggies into the field.

Note on the 22 land. Early play tests had one common problem that seemed to occur more than needed. Mana flooding. I actually lost several games in a tournament because I'd draw six straight land and my opponent would fly into development. I started at 24, and 22 seems to be the right balance since its two color.
