Need help with ZOMBIE EDH Decklist
Deck Help forum
Posted on Aug. 20, 2018, 4:03 p.m. by Jaysterbaby
I have 128 cards and trying to knock it down to 100, would like some help makes a good Zombie deck. Thank you for your time and help. Here are my cards
Commander - Oloro, Ageless Ascetic
[100 cards]
17x Swamp
Liliana, Heretical Healer Flip
[28 cards]
I also agree with both of Scytec’suggestions. Varina is going to be much more syngergistic for a zombie deck than Oloro and may draw less heat.
That being said, let’s go over your list of cards and start making some cuts to fine tune it.
Leyline of the Meek-nice to pump your tokens but why leave out the rest of your team? Radiant Destiny would be a better fit.
Some less synergistic cards to cut:
Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage
Phage the Untouchable
Heliod, God of the Sun
Gonti, Lord of Luxury
Ravenous Chupacabra
Hope of Ghirapur
Leyline of Sanctity
Shrieking Affliction
Sun Droplet
Bridge from Below
I’ve got some other ideas but for now that’s where I would start with cuts.

Might I suggest Tatterkite and/or Solemnity which both have excellent synergy w/ Mikaeus, the Unhallowed allowing either every creature you own or Tatterkite to be revived infinitely via Undying. Then you just need a good sac outlet like Ashnod's Altar to gen infinite sac effects, in the case given infinite colorless mana... Let me know what ya think!

I wouldn't jump down the rabbit hole of mikeus the unhollowed combos, but Triskelion and walking balista are the best combo pieces with him because they win the game on the spot.

I could be mistaken, but I do not believe Walking Ballista combos with Mikaeus. He would enter the battlefield as a 1/1 with 1 counter on him making him a 2/2, you could get infinite ETB and LTB, but you couldn't ping like with Triskelion because you would have to spend the Ballista Counter to kill the Ballista and you have no additional to get in for damage.

The Walking Ballista and Triskelion would also work as combo pieces but would still require a sac outlet due to Mikaeus, the Unhallowed +1/+1 effect. You would remove the +1/+1 counters off hitting for burn damage then once the cards didn't have any more counters on them sac em' to your sac outlet and they get revived via Mikaeus, rinse and repeat. They would be great additions if Scytec doesn't mind straying a bit from the zombie theme.

Not my deck, I does in fact work with an additional sac outlet, but it doesn't work as efficiently as Mikaeus plus Triskelion.

Hey, if you don't mind, would you add this as a deck to the site so I can take a look at it that way, I'm at work and it's hard to get an idea about what you have going with just an unsorted list. :p If you can, just tag me in the deck list and I will take a look. My first question though is have you considered Varina, Lich Queen over Oloro? She is certainly more flavorful, and she also gets you card filtering and some lifegain. :p
