This is a recreation of one of my first ever decks from Hour of Devastation Standard. The key cards were Throne of the God-Pharaoh, Trespasser's Curse and Wayward Servant, so that my opponent lost life when I played zombies, tapped zombies and when they played creatures. For this Pioneer deck I plan to build, I'm adding Corpse Knight as Wayward Servant 5-8, Embalmer's Tools for as a way to tap zombies without attacking, and upgrading the zombies and lands in general. For the sideboard, Thoughtseizes might turn into Duresses depending on how much money I want to spend on this.

After some testing on MTGO, pretty sure I'm going to cut the Embalmer's tools. Trying to decide between Relentless Dead, which seems like the best 2 drop, or another 1 drop like Diregraf Ghoul or Dread Wanderer. Also wondering if Death Baron might be better than Lord of the Accursed. Any advice would be appreciated.
