Zombies/Ooze, but no flying defense
Deck Help forum

Hi! I've just put together my first deck, and I'm really proud of it. Oozing Undead
It centers around a green defense and black offense, building up to overwhelming numbers and sheer strength if it can survive long enough. The zombies pull more creatures under my control, while the oozes build up tokens.
My big problem is that I only have two creatures that can resist flying opponents, Trestle Troll and Aphetto Vulture . Trestle Troll doesn't fit well with my theme, but it has Reach. the Vulture fits well enough, but it costs 6 mana, and I'd really prefer to keep the high cost cards down.
Are there any suggestions to help me stay alive?

there are plenty of green cards that show a very particular hate against flying. just have to find them, lol.

Vampire Nighthawk and Desecration Demon , Hypnotic Specter and Will-o'-the-Wisp stick out in my mind as your deck looked to be budget. Or run Gravity Well if you truely fear flying.

Gravity Well looks like exactly what I'm looking for, actually. I might be able to work with a few of those black creatures, though I was hoping to stick to zombies and slimes. Still, these are far too useful to just ignore. Hm. I may have to restructure things a little, but I'll be better protected, certainly. Or I could just use Gravity Well and leave it at that.

i would run a few nighthawks. not only because i feel they are one of the best 3 black drops i have seen either... you need flying and while Gravity Well looks awesome too, you would only run at max 4 in the deck. i would want a little more flying defense than that. keep the Trestle Troll , toss the Aphetto Vulture , and throw in Vampire Nighthawk . Will-o'-the-Wisp looks good to and quite cheap.

Hm. I do want to stick as close to theme as possible, but Vampire Nighthawk is definitely on the Maybeboard. It has a lot of good things going for it, especially that lifelink. I think I may toss the Trestle Troll and Deathrite Shaman with it, and bring in a wall of Will-o'-the-Wisp because they're so cheap and have Regeneration.
What are your thoughts on Vulturous Zombie ? It's a 5 drop, but it's flying, 3/3, and has that lovely token-gaining ability. I was also thinking of including Wall of Vines for its Reach, too.
