So like EVERYONE is going friggin ZOMBIES in my store!

They are fast, don't die, and there is this one card that how much damage is dealt to it, you have to destroy that ammount of permanents!!!!!

I've always loved infect, and the spellskites here help me rack up some spells in my graveyard to then blast away with Blighted agent, an unblockable infect for 2 mana, with Runechanter's pike, I have 6 counters and 3-5 Instant removals.

Counter Speed Infect Standard 2012

Please give me your opinions!

I don't know for sure, but I would think that a curse of death hold or 2 in the sideboard would work well. It would shut off gravecrawler and it doubles as a good choice against token decks.

Nihil SpellbombMTG Card: Nihil Spellbomb, Grafdigger's CageMTG Card: Grafdigger's Cage and Surgical ExtractionMTG Card: Surgical Extraction could be your best friends then. Trust me, Black has a HORRIBLE time with artifacts. And Blue can only bounce/counter them. Toss those in your sideboard and those zombies will stay dead.

Wanna take care of Zombie tokens? Four options.

  1. Ratchet BombMTG Card: Ratchet Bomb
  2. Phyrexian Obliterator MTG Card: Phyrexian Obliterator + LureMTG Card: Lure
  3. Engulfing SlagwurmMTG Card: Engulfing Slagwurm + LureMTG Card: Lure
  4. Massacre WurmMTG Card: Massacre Wurm

All three are a quick and easy way to wipe the board of any token army (although Massacre WurmMTG Card: Massacre Wurm will only work if they are 2 toughness or less.)

LureMTG Card: Lure really is an amazing card.

Zombies tend to be very weak without the clutch cards i.e. Endless Ranks of the DeadMTG Card: Endless Ranks of the Dead, Call to the GraveMTG Card: Call to the Grave, Phyrexian Obliterator MTG Card: Phyrexian Obliterator

You can do some real damage to zombies with DistressMTG Card: Distress (or any discard card that lets you pick a target) + Surgical ExtractionMTG Card: Surgical Extraction
