Someone suggested I re-post my deck. so, here goes.

I would like this to be good enough to take to FNM. I enjoyed my 1st time there (even though I went 0-5).

Any suggestions/comments are welcome.

Zombies

My first thought with Laboratory ManiacMTG Card: Laboratory Maniac was Legacy format using LevelerMTG Card: Leveler. Other than that how about infinite mana using Myr GalvanizerMTG Card: Myr Galvanizer and a combination of mana myr like Silver MyrMTG Card: Silver Myr and Increasing ConfusionMTG Card: Increasing Confusion or Blue Sun's ZenithMTG Card: Blue Sun's Zenith?

I would say go with a more control style deck

2x Black Sun's ZenithMTG Card: Black Sun's Zenith, 2x Doom BladeMTG Card: Doom Blade4x PonderMTG Card: Ponder/Think TwiceMTG Card: Think Twicecounterspells4x Laboratory ManiacMTG Card: Laboratory Maniac4x Myr GalvanizerMTG Card: Myr Galvanizer4x Silver MyrMTG Card: Silver Myr/Leaden MyrMTG Card: Leaden Myr/Palladium MyrMTG Card: Palladium Myr4x Heartless SummoningMTG Card: Heartless SummoningThese are the cards I would incorporate if I was building towards a control type.

Effectively, you want to focus on the combo as much as possible, so take the combo pieces and work out where you want to get to. Then, find ways people will try to disrupt it and add things to protect it. I am predominantly a control player, but it is possible to build aggressively to get where you want to be. Things like black suns will help greatly to keep the board clear, but you can also flood the board with creatures to keep your opponents removal at bay. I think if you were to stick with the zombies theme, Cemetery ReaperMTG Card: Cemetery Reaper would fit nicely in here. Hope this helps :)
