Help for a Mono Black Zombie build

Deck Help forum

This is my first deck build and my first post on TappedOut. Please excuse any link issues or stupidity in the deck build.

Obviously, this is a zombie tribal deck with buffed 2/2's and +1/+1. The idea is to mill, creature control, or pull from their hand (with Despise ) and make their cards your own. Pretty sure the deck is trying to do too much, so I'm definitely open to suggestions.

deck:mono-black-zombie-7

Thanks!

I just realized that "make their cards your own" is a little vague. I plan on doing that with Geth, Lord of the Vault . Again, this deck is trying to do too much. I want to pare down the creature casting cost and pull in some removal which will allow me to have some fun with Geth. Maybe Mindcrank ?

I think going aggro Zombies would be better. Geth is slow, and the deck is not very committed to making the most of his ability.

Do you want to keep this deck standard, or are you open to adding some older cards?

I want to stay in Standard. To be honest, I'd like to stay in Innistrad as much as possible so it stays standard when Mirrodin/New Phyrexia cycles out. I know this isn't possible, though, since Innistrad only really added blue Zombies. Don't want to splash another color.

What would you suggest to do with the deck if I wasn't building around Geth?

I think an aggro setup would be better.

4x Skinrender , 4x Cemetery Reaper , 4x Diregraf Ghoul , 2-3x Grave Titan , 4x Adaptive Automaton , maybe Unbreathing Horde .

4x Phyrexian Crusader in the sideboard for use against red decks.

Endless Ranks of the Dead and Call to the Grave for some support options.

I would drop the artifacts you have now and include 4x Lashwrithe .
