My son and I talked about building a Zombie deck for standard when Amonkhet was first spoiled, but we didn't get around to it before prices spiked. Maybe we'll wait until rotation this or until the next set comes out to build standard deck if prices have relaxed. I think Zombie deck would be fun. Besides, my son always gravitates toward playing black. Thanks for this video, it's good to see your deck and hear you talk about the cards. Maybe we'll look into building Modern zombies if it's not too expensive some day.
It is nice to see some non-standard fun decks. I really like them and they are more enjoyable to play with and against. It is also nice to see some of the cards you pulled in a video in the deck. Thanks for the great content again
I'm in the process of trying to build a black white zombie deck! Just trying to gather a few more cards before it's 100% complete! Also on a side note, just got my wreath yesterday and I love it thank you so much! Keep up the badass content 😊
The best removal spells for a zombie deck in my opinion are spark harvest, and bone splinters. Both are 1 drops, spark harvest can kill a plains walkers and both destroy any target creature regardless of color or type. The catch to casting them is you have to sacrifice a creature, which works perfectly with grave crawler.
Looks like a solid deck, definitely empties the hand quick. And it matches your job! I always played white/blue. Solid creatures, combat tricks, damage negation, and card draw/extra turns. That was 15 years ago though. I could make a pretty solid zombie deck, but I never play black. Currently stuck on Red/White Exert with the budget Gideon from the Amonkhet Planeswalker deck.
I run a similar zombie deck, but I will say running Dictate of erebos while you keep swinging gravecrawler or relentless dead makes them hate life. Making them sacrifice for something that you will just bring back next turn. Also endless ranks is awesome, get half your zombies back in tokens each turn is easy way to flood that they can't handle (especially when you give them menace). Both are pretty cheap in price.
Love the deck, you just gave me an idea for a new deck to build. I knew zombies were good, but not that good. My friend has a zombie deck. I should show him this video. He has a combo that makes all of his zombies unblockable. I will let you know what it is when I find out what it is.
I’m building a zombie deck with burn???? So the idea is there’s a lot of zombies that summon zombies or add them to hand. I can’t remember the name of the card but basically you mill your library x amount of times and for each creature sent they take 2 dmg. Zombies don’t care about that as much cause cards like gravewalker.
I splash white in my zombie deck for cards like Wayward servant and In Oketra's name. In addition you need a Shepherd of Rot for the fun factor and to suicide right bevore the enemy can kill you.
Liliana the last hope would be a great addition for a three drop Planeswalker who’s +1 can handle the one creature that is evil to you and then the ultimate which give you zombies at the end of your turn and these Zombies will multiply faster than your opponent can blink. I’ve seen rage quitting when I got that combo off in my black white zombie deck
That's an awesome deck. I had a Zombie deck built around sacrificing creatures and winning doing so with cards like messenger. I like how you said, I don't wanna be a dick so I am only running 1 of. Run a playset lol!
17:54 my problem with Vampiric tutor is ton the life but the card loss if only it would add to hand, demonic tutor above all :D also like Rustic tutor 19:59 Hymn is an awesome card all black deck should run 2-4 24:28 in a zombi deck real?:D
Lord of the undead is a zombie, you have a old printing, check out the updated ruling. I run 2 of them in my zombie deck and considering going up to 3.

Damn dude I need your cards. Like Gravecrawler and Relentless Dead for instance. I really liked your Zombie deck. I tried going for a Mono-black Zombie deck recently, but decided to splash some white in there instead XD with the Relentless Dead and Lord of the Accursed, I genuinely feel like I missed out on the good cards of the recent sets from what you've presented today... Oh well.. I managed to get like 4-5 Graf Harvests. Say what do you think of my Black-White deck??; Land: (23) 4x Plains 13x Swamps 1x Mana Confluence 2x Westvale Abbey 1x Temple of the False Gods 1x Cradle of the Accursed 1x Nephilia Academy Creatures: (17) 3x Liliana's Elite 2x Diregraf Colossus 2x Grim Guardian 1x Grim Haruspex 1x Tattered Mummy 1X Archetype of Finality 1x Forlorn Pseudamma 1x Doomed Dissenter 1x Gravedigger 1x Spiteful Return 1x Desiccated Naga 1x Wakedancer 1x Paragon of Open Graves Sorcery: (11) 2x Shamble Back 2x Cemetery Recruitment 2x Gisa's Bidding 2x Liliana's Indigination 1x Wander in Death 1x Stir the Sands 1x Dark Salvation Instants: (2) 1x In Oketra's Name 1x Crypt Incursion Enchantments: (4) 1x Graf Harvest 1x Trespasser's Curse 1x Behind the Scenes 1x Liliana's Mastery Artifacts: (2) 1x Hall of Triumph 1x Whip of Erebos Planeswalker: (1) 1x Liliana, the Last Hope ... Well that my deck.. Like I said... a splash of white :) When playing during breaks me and my friend don't have time to sort and enforce Side-Boards. I know it could be better I just don't pull the right cards which is frustrating.. I get that I could just buy singulars.. It's more fun this way and I kinda made an agreement to not buy singulars or repacks with my best friend, an agreement of which I sometimes regret XD but at least I'm honorable to my word. I don't have any removal because I just wanted to focus on overwhelming my opponent with Zombies XD With the possibility of Lifelink, Deathtouch, Menace, Skulk and just basically +1/+1ing my Zombies, as soon as the army starts growing there isn't much that can stop them XD Mwahahaha win to lose ratio = 6:2 .. Soo far(Both losses were due to Mana screwing :/.. I think its just bad shuffling...) I have double jointed thumbs and Pinkies, pinkies aren't the deck shuffling problem... It's my thumbs, they pop and lock inwards when I try to shuffle the cards. In the end I had to buy the Eclipse sleeves to make it easier for me -_- Anyway can you give me your personal opinion on my Zombie deck please??? :) It would make me happy since I had the dentist yesterday. I'll tell you what happened (I have a fear of going to the dentist, but I promised myself to not freak out since it would be for future benefit to get the filling now rather than later) ... They put numbing agent on my gum, then stuck a needle through my gum to numb that entire part of my mouth.. I was fine at that point. they had me waiting in the waiting area in the hall... As the numbing was increasing, my brain was like 'OH HELL NO GIRL!' And I started to pass out. I tried getting myself not to pass out (Helpful hint for the future... DON'T TRY STOP YOURSELF FROM PASSING OUT WHEN YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF PASSING OUT). I don't recall the next 15 second until I saw my father looking down at me while lying on the waiting chairs talking and trying to get a response from me. He said that I had some sort of seizure before I passed out fully, which was weird because I don't remember any of it. I though I was just watching the TV show they had on the screen, except I could just see a frozen image of it instead of the actual show. Anyway my father was saying I didn't need to go ahead with the treatment (you know the drill and the filling part) and I was like 'no I need to do it' and a nurse walked by and then told my dentist and next thing you know I've got 2 nurses, my dentist and my father surrounding me, making sure I was alright. I'm one of the few people that get given drinks contains lots of sugar from the dentist surgery tho XD After being held by my father and my dentist as we walked back into the dentist room , they'r putting air-con on, cold wet flannels on my head giving me that Lucosade (Like I mentioned before). Back in the chair and the dentist, he's like saying 'you don't need to go forth wit this if you don't want to' and I'm like 'No. Do it' and then there was drilling and filling and it didn't hurt because that part of my mouth and face were numb but the drilling sensation was still there for a while after the fact... I was like smiling through the entire thing, trying to ensure everyone I was okay...So yeah.. Other than the consistent aching that is slowly but surely diminishing and the sensitivity of eating hot/cold food with the filling in it's all good, except the fact I have to go again in a few weeks... Oh joy \(-_-)/ I spent like an hour typing this out after watching the vid ^-^ Cant wait for your response!!
love the deck zombies are my favorite.it sounds very similar to my deck.although I splash green in for rancor and primal life I believe its called.I'm just having issues getting the cards I need.I can't afford some of them ans nobody will trade for them.anyway I think the deck is sick.
great video I love deck tech and you should do more plus I think you should run cryptbreaker and sanitary skeletons in your deck also I appreciate the non-stop background music of Slipknot very bad ass indeed but again video is great good stuff is always keep them coming
Some good cards for this Deck would be Stir the Sands from Amonkhet and Liliana, the Last Hope. Stir the Sands is a 6 drop sorcery that creates 3 zombie tokens. A little high cost, but it cycles. And when it does, you get a zombie token anyway. Liliana, the Last Hope would be a good addition to the sideboard for switching between it and Death's Majesty. Depending on which Deck your going against, Last Hope might be more productive than Death's Majesty
Idk you have alot of 3 drops and higher. Doesn't look like it'll be that fast. Try 2 bloodghast. 4 relentless dead, 4 cryptbreaker, 4 prized amalgam, 4 metallic mimic, 2 liliana heretical healer. Spells: 1 thoughtseize, 3 collective brutality, and other kill spells like doom blade or fatal push. The goal is to discard your prized amalgam and bloodghast with collective brutally/cryptbreaker. With that just play a land and bring back all bloodghast and prized amalgam from your graveyard. Lilly will transform easily and can bring back other creatures too as well with relentless dead. The spells are just to buy you time by getting rid of your opponents top spells and creatures.
I know bloodghast isn't a zombie but he helps so well. I forgot to mention to put in a death Baron in there too! As well as a few dark salvations. I don't have any gravecrawlers so I'm just using what I have lol
Carrion Feeder is definitely worth looking into getting for 1 drop zombie. I think hes as good if not better than Dread Wanderer. A few interesting things you can do with him is, you can sacrifice creatures to trigger stuff like Vengeful Dead, Zulaport Cutthroat, Grim Haruspex, and any other effect that triggers on creatures dying. Also, with Gravecrawler, you can grow Carrion Feeder for 1 black mana. Lastly, having carrion feeder as a sac outlet can save your creatures from removal spells. What. You don't run all 4 Lord of the Accursed? Then you need to cut cards to put in more lords. Merfolk is amazing in modern because it runs ALL the lords. Zombies is no exception ! Run them. Actually Lord of the Undead is a zombie. Check your Tenth edition one, it says Zombie on it lol. I guess back then, they were on drugs during planeshift. Because its not a lord and its a zombie on the oracle text. You can check the oracle text on gatherer. That is what every player uses regarding card effects. gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=10742 If you want to be aggro, you need to max your curve at 4 highest. Preferably the top of your curve should be 3. The bulk of your deck should be 1 and 2 mana cost, 3-4 cmc are your bombs. If you want to make your deck even better, run Aether vial. Basically your lords are your finisher because you literally double your damage by giving all your guys +1/+1. I would cut Liliana's Reaver for another lord of the accursed. Hes only good on turn 5, which is too slow. Your lord have an effect on turn 3 when it comes in to boost your team. You need more lords. If you're aggro, you don't care about deathtouch because you're going to pressure their life totals. When you need to pressure them, power is more important than deathtouch. Lilliana and Grave Titan are amazing but I would also cut those for more Lords that buff your zombies. Victim of Night is fine, but Grasp of Darkness is probably better. Vampires and Zombies are popular tribes. so you can actually find yourself without legal targets. -4/-4 is more than sufficient as removal. I would replace vampiric tutor with another removal or more 1 drop zombies. You don't have time as an aggro deck to take a turn off playing creatures to pressure life totals. Any time you don't put a creature, gives time for your opponent to dig for removals. Rhystic tutor is just bad lol. Replace with better 1-2 drop zombies. More relentless dead comes to mind. 3 mana to get a creature into your hand? Eww. If anything, use Demonic Consultation. I would still advise using any tutor spells. You don't see burn decks running tutors because every card should pull its own weight. Thats what aggro decks mean. All your cards should be effective. Blackmail and Hymn are good cards but I think you should replace them for Zombies. You're building a zombie deck ffs. =O I am not a big fan of animate dead. But I guess 1-2 of this card is ok, if your opponent kills your lord, you can bring it back. Since your deck is trying to end the game before turn 5. Odds are, your opponent wont have anything good for you to reanimate. Since it has zero synergy with your zombies. You're likely reanimating your own stuff. If you are able to drop the top of your curve to 4, you can definitely run as low as 20 lands. Your average cost will need to be 1-2cmc. Some 3 cmc (your lords), 1-4 4cmc cards. I recommend 21 lands. Instead of dark salvation, try Noxious Ghoul. Strict upgrade to underworld connection is phyrexian arena. Or Dark Tutelage if your average cmc is really low. Festering Goblin is another amazing 1 drop zombie to consider. There was a functional reprint in one of the core sets but I can't remember the name. When it dies, you can give another creature -1/-1, so that means this 1/1 goblin can trade with a 2/2. If you run the above mentioned carrion feeder turn 1. Then festering goblin turn 2, sacrifice the festering goblin to carrion feeder, you can kill a 1/1 blocker on your opponent's side then swing in with a 2/2 carrion feeder on turn 2. Sweet synergy. I also highly recommend grim haruspex, even if hes not a wizard, he is a much better card advantage machine than underworld connection which you can't use to hit your opponent. Just some suggestions ! Hope this helps. I consider myself more of a spike, while i love fun deck, I enjoy giving recommendations. I actually have a mono block deck casual deck that does really well. It runs both carrion feeder and festering goblin along with other value cards. It doesn't have any lords though. I didn't open any Amonkhet and cemetary reaper, lord of the undead, and the baron are just too expensive for me. Its a fun deck that wants creatures to die. The main card is Quest for Gravelord. I don't think that card works for your deck though.
Nice deck man imma get some of those cards .Im making a zombie deck to but i got 1 drops that exile a creature from a graveyard and I get a 2/2 zombie token .
It does not fit in a zombie only deck but a few Blood Artist and some Bloodthrone Vampire makes zombies much more aggressive 3rd turn attack you can deal some serious damage if no blocker with the bloodthrone, as you would drop a messenger sac him 2 times to the vampire 5 damage there plus the lose 4 life on the messengers, also bloodghast helps alot as well and gravecrawler with another zombie pumps your bloodthrone up +2/+2 per black mana you have if a blood artist in play thats nice direct damage life loss as well. I like running Bump in the Night as well 3 life loss for 1 black is solid. I run urborgs and fetches when playing with the Bloodghasts though.
I also run a few Phyrexian Obliterators Main deck and have in Sideboard a few Phyrexian crusaders and Abattior Ghouls the Abattior ghoul just for playing against zombies as they mess up Geralf's Messenger and you can actually get 1 life back out of the deal if they swing with it.
Should replace the Hero's Downfall with Never//Return. has same cmc and ability as that card plus has a added graveyard effect later in the game if you need another zombie.
Hey bad boy mtg what's up man? hope you're doing okay. I was wondering if you would do a video on a commander deck once the new ones come out or something like that?
I love your content and love your taste in music but i would be really careful with playing music in the background because most if not close to all music is copyrighted and it can strike your account if the right person were to flag your videos for copyright infringement and could potentially shut your channel down and i would hate to see that because your personality is amazing and would love to keep it on youtube.
Zombies and metal, what more does a man need.
I hear slipknot, good taste
Victre Kanale I know right
Yeah!!
I was trying to figure out what the music was in the background cuz I thought it was Lamb of God at first then I'm like no that's Slipknot
LIKE BREATHING IN SULFUR
I love zombies, but this opened me up to some i had never heard of!
Lord of the Undead has two printings in both 9th and 10th edition where he has zombie in his creature type.
Ethan Messner And one of lords in the deck says it is zombie.
Ethan Messner I noticed as well! The later is better.
But instead of all zombies, 10th edition says other zombies.
Hard to concentrate on what the guy is saying when there's kickass slipknot music in the background :D
Cemetery Reaper 2010 core set such a nice card. Its going for $4.00 right now BTW!
Surgical extrection, my favorite answer to cawblade.
My son and I talked about building a Zombie deck for standard when Amonkhet was first spoiled, but we didn't get around to it before prices spiked. Maybe we'll wait until rotation this or until the next set comes out to build standard deck if prices have relaxed. I think Zombie deck would be fun. Besides, my son always gravitates toward playing black. Thanks for this video, it's good to see your deck and hear you talk about the cards. Maybe we'll look into building Modern zombies if it's not too expensive some day.
It is nice to see some non-standard fun decks. I really like them and they are more enjoyable to play with and against. It is also nice to see some of the cards you pulled in a video in the deck. Thanks for the great content again
love the deck, and your background music.
Like the background music, Slipknot 10/1
I'm in the process of trying to build a black white zombie deck! Just trying to gather a few more cards before it's 100% complete! Also on a side note, just got my wreath yesterday and I love it thank you so much! Keep up the badass content 😊
The best removal spells for a zombie deck in my opinion are spark harvest, and bone splinters. Both are 1 drops, spark harvest can kill a plains walkers and both destroy any target creature regardless of color or type. The catch to casting them is you have to sacrifice a creature, which works perfectly with grave crawler.
Zombies and Slipknot . . . nice.
theirs the zombie deck! great video man, keep them coming
Exactly what I thought when i saw LORD OF THE ACCURSED “I’m going to make a zombie deck lol”
Always have loved zombie decks. Good deck! Maybe you can do a gameplay video of you piloting it?
Totally agree on your discarding argument, that's why I am making a deck around the new Nicol Bolas from Hours of Devastation.
Looks like a solid deck, definitely empties the hand quick. And it matches your job! I always played white/blue. Solid creatures, combat tricks, damage negation, and card draw/extra turns. That was 15 years ago though. I could make a pretty solid zombie deck, but I never play black. Currently stuck on Red/White Exert with the budget Gideon from the Amonkhet Planeswalker deck.
Yooooo, sulfur in the background 😂😂😂👌🤘
I run a similar zombie deck, but I will say running Dictate of erebos while you keep swinging gravecrawler or relentless dead makes them hate life. Making them sacrifice for something that you will just bring back next turn. Also endless ranks is awesome, get half your zombies back in tokens each turn is easy way to flood that they can't handle (especially when you give them menace). Both are pretty cheap in price.
Love the deck, you just gave me an idea for a new deck to build. I knew zombies were good, but not that good. My friend has a zombie deck. I should show him this video. He has a combo that makes all of his zombies unblockable. I will let you know what it is when I find out what it is.
I have the card, can't think of it's name off the top of my head.
have you remembered the name? I just started playing and building a zombie deck right now.
I’m building a zombie deck with burn???? So the idea is there’s a lot of zombies that summon zombies or add them to hand. I can’t remember the name of the card but basically you mill your library x amount of times and for each creature sent they take 2 dmg. Zombies don’t care about that as much cause cards like gravewalker.
Zombie Master with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth does the trick...
I splash white in my zombie deck for cards like Wayward servant and In Oketra's name. In addition you need a Shepherd of Rot for the fun factor and to suicide right bevore the enemy can kill you.
"80$" lol x), it's waaaaay more according to cardsmarket.
Liliana the last hope would be a great addition for a three drop Planeswalker who’s +1 can handle the one creature that is evil to you and then the ultimate which give you zombies at the end of your turn and these Zombies will multiply faster than your opponent can blink. I’ve seen rage quitting when I got that combo off in my black white zombie deck
+Nicholas Hennemann this deck is not all that great, my new zombie deck blows this out the water
is there a video on your new zombie deck?
Sweet deck pal. Love the synergy. Keep making them great videos
Ty Steven
Lord of the undead since 8/1/2005 is a zombie lord causing "other" zombie cards the pump ability so it is a zombie itself.
That's an awesome deck. I had a Zombie deck built around sacrificing creatures and winning doing so with cards like messenger. I like how you said, I don't wanna be a dick so I am only running 1 of. Run a playset lol!
I think ever zombie deck needs an “endless rank of the undead”
I combo Army of the Damned with Endless ranks of the Dead
17:54 my problem with Vampiric tutor is ton the life but the card loss if only it would add to hand, demonic tutor above all :D
also like Rustic tutor
19:59 Hymn is an awesome card all black deck should run 2-4
24:28 in a zombi deck real?:D

Uses vampiric tutor for vampiric tutor ;)
one of my first and favorite decks i made and played.. we only have a few cards different lol
Have you checked out Endless ranks of the dead?
Addrick Stich Great card
Yeah it's a great card. I would probably run that instead of grave Titan lol.
You could add a few Carrion Feeder for the Grave Crawler - Carrion Feeder - Diregraf Colossus Combo
+Jonas Nice
Gempalm Polluter might also be a good addition :)
I have not played in a long time, but isn't paying a swamp just to take a 2/2 creature back to your hand a rather high cost?
Dark Salvation is amazing. Even if you don't put zombies down you can kill a lot of enemy creatures for just 1.
Nice build, I'm building a zombie deck soon myself. Gonna use 4 Geralf's messengers though.
Yoooooo! It's illegal to run that many vampiric tutors in that deck!
+GenesisXtr3me fact
I would consider play the following cards 4x fleshbag marauder 3-4 grey merchant of asphodel some number of nyxthos. shrine to nyx
What is with Liliana, last hope? Once you get the emblem you'll get a huge amount of zombie tokens.

... Well that my deck.. Like I said... a splash of white :) When playing during breaks me and my friend don't have time to sort and enforce Side-Boards.
I know it could be better I just don't pull the right cards which is frustrating.. I get that I could just buy singulars.. It's more fun this way and I kinda made an agreement to not buy singulars or repacks with my best friend, an agreement of which I sometimes regret XD but at least I'm honorable to my word.
I don't have any removal because I just wanted to focus on overwhelming my opponent with Zombies XD With the possibility of Lifelink, Deathtouch, Menace, Skulk and just basically +1/+1ing my Zombies, as soon as the army starts growing there isn't much that can stop them XD Mwahahaha win to lose ratio = 6:2 .. Soo far(Both losses were due to Mana screwing :/.. I think its just bad shuffling...) I have double jointed thumbs and Pinkies, pinkies aren't the deck shuffling problem... It's my thumbs, they pop and lock inwards when I try to shuffle the cards. In the end I had to buy the Eclipse sleeves to make it easier for me -_-
Anyway can you give me your personal opinion on my Zombie deck please??? :)
It would make me happy since I had the dentist yesterday. I'll tell you what happened (I have a fear of going to the dentist, but I promised myself to not freak out since it would be for future benefit to get the filling now rather than later)

Back in the chair and the dentist, he's like saying 'you don't need to go forth wit this if you don't want to' and I'm like 'No. Do it' and then there was drilling and filling and it didn't hurt because that part of my mouth and face were numb but the drilling sensation was still there for a while after the fact... I was like smiling through the entire thing, trying to ensure everyone I was okay...So yeah.. Other than the consistent aching that is slowly but surely diminishing and the sensitivity of eating hot/cold food with the filling in it's all good, except the fact I have to go again in a few weeks...
Oh joy \(-_-)/
I spent like an hour typing this out after watching the vid ^-^
Cant wait for your response!!
Is it a Jackal? It's a jackal. Jackal? Jackal?
It wasnt jackal the 1st time what made u think it be jackal the 5th time?! ... Or something like that.
How is this a budget deck? Vampiric Tutor alone is $80 each.
I would add some fast Mana like culling the weak songs of the Damned dark ritual bubbling muck
There's probably a joke I can make about this coinciding with your job but I got nothing currently. All in all, I love Zombie decks so good video
Ryder Hanson lol
love the deck zombies are my favorite.it sounds very similar to my deck.although I splash green in for rancor and primal life I believe its called.I'm just having issues getting the cards I need.I can't afford some of them ans nobody will trade for them.anyway I think the deck is sick.
Money has a lot to do with a decks success rate. Unfortunately, that is the case in MtG. As my friend Adamo would say, "You can buy wins".
great video I love deck tech and you should do more plus I think you should run cryptbreaker and sanitary skeletons in your deck also I appreciate the non-stop background music of Slipknot very bad ass indeed but again video is great good stuff is always keep them coming
Did you notice that the two lord of the undeads were different? one was a lord, and the other was a zombie creature
Wait no cryptbreaker?
(Edit : just realized eldritch moon wasn't out yet(nvm))
Sweet deck man! It looks fun to play!
Vampiric tutor is great. You should run that demonic tutor you got the other day tho, and remove the rhystic piece of poop.
At 1238 psychosocial comes on. I love this so much.
+King Hardy hell yeah
Looks great added side board idea's kalitas traitor of ghet, Lilliana last hope.
+jimmyg803 I remade and Lily is in main
Bad Boy MTG have you looked at kalitas?
Bad Boy MTG ghoul caller Gisa not bad but pricey
Damn I need a Gravecrawler for my Zombie Commander deck.
Ryan Padilla yeah I am missing that one, too.
who's the commander?
Ghoul Caller Gisa
lord of the undead has errata bad boy. it should read creature - zombie, and the first line should read (other zombies ) instead of just zombies
I was just waiting for you to pull up grave titan
Animate Dead is simple card, but it's new texts makes it stupid confusing.
Cool to see a deck tech for a change. Nice to see you are running making some decks, anything you are working on for the future?
Some good cards for this Deck would be Stir the Sands from Amonkhet and Liliana, the Last Hope. Stir the Sands is a 6 drop sorcery that creates 3 zombie tokens. A little high cost, but it cycles. And when it does, you get a zombie token anyway. Liliana, the Last Hope would be a good addition to the sideboard for switching between it and Death's Majesty. Depending on which Deck your going against, Last Hope might be more productive than Death's Majesty
The deck avoids many high casting cost cards, built for speed. Emptying my hand quickly, menace, kill
Idk you have alot of 3 drops and higher. Doesn't look like it'll be that fast. Try 2 bloodghast. 4 relentless dead, 4 cryptbreaker, 4 prized amalgam, 4 metallic mimic, 2 liliana heretical healer. Spells: 1 thoughtseize, 3 collective brutality, and other kill spells like doom blade or fatal push. The goal is to discard your prized amalgam and bloodghast with collective brutally/cryptbreaker. With that just play a land and bring back all bloodghast and prized amalgam from your graveyard. Lilly will transform easily and can bring back other creatures too as well with relentless dead. The spells are just to buy you time by getting rid of your opponents top spells and creatures.
I know bloodghast isn't a zombie but he helps so well. I forgot to mention to put in a death Baron in there too! As well as a few dark salvations. I don't have any gravecrawlers so I'm just using what I have lol
I run a 4 of geralfs messenger in my modern deck. So it is not banned or restricted in modern. Maybe while it was in standard
Also have a 2 of grave titan, so good With panharmonicon, as well as geralfs messenger
Hymn to tourach is a good card. Never seen it before. 2 mana for +1 with a chance to get rid of a combo piese is awsome
Facing this deck is just like breathing in Sulfur
Carrion Feeder is definitely worth looking into getting for 1 drop zombie. I think hes as good if not better than Dread Wanderer. A few interesting things you can do with him is, you can sacrifice creatures to trigger stuff like Vengeful Dead, Zulaport Cutthroat, Grim Haruspex, and any other effect that triggers on creatures dying. Also, with Gravecrawler, you can grow Carrion Feeder for 1 black mana. Lastly, having carrion feeder as a sac outlet can save your creatures from removal spells.
What. You don't run all 4 Lord of the Accursed? Then you need to cut cards to put in more lords. Merfolk is amazing in modern because it runs ALL the lords. Zombies is no exception ! Run them.
Actually Lord of the Undead is a zombie. Check your Tenth edition one, it says Zombie on it lol. I guess back then, they were on drugs during planeshift. Because its not a lord and its a zombie on the oracle text. You can check the oracle text on gatherer. That is what every player uses regarding card effects.

If you want to be aggro, you need to max your curve at 4 highest. Preferably the top of your curve should be 3. The bulk of your deck should be 1 and 2 mana cost, 3-4 cmc are your bombs. If you want to make your deck even better, run Aether vial. Basically your lords are your finisher because you literally double your damage by giving all your guys +1/+1.
I would cut Liliana's Reaver for another lord of the accursed. Hes only good on turn 5, which is too slow. Your lord have an effect on turn 3 when it comes in to boost your team. You need more lords. If you're aggro, you don't care about deathtouch because you're going to pressure their life totals. When you need to pressure them, power is more important than deathtouch.
Lilliana and Grave Titan are amazing but I would also cut those for more Lords that buff your zombies.
Victim of Night is fine, but Grasp of Darkness is probably better. Vampires and Zombies are popular tribes. so you can actually find yourself without legal targets. -4/-4 is more than sufficient as removal.
I would replace vampiric tutor with another removal or more 1 drop zombies. You don't have time as an aggro deck to take a turn off playing creatures to pressure life totals. Any time you don't put a creature, gives time for your opponent to dig for removals.
Rhystic tutor is just bad lol. Replace with better 1-2 drop zombies. More relentless dead comes to mind. 3 mana to get a creature into your hand? Eww. If anything, use Demonic Consultation. I would still advise using any tutor spells. You don't see burn decks running tutors because every card should pull its own weight. Thats what aggro decks mean. All your cards should be effective.
Blackmail and Hymn are good cards but I think you should replace them for Zombies. You're building a zombie deck ffs. =O
I am not a big fan of animate dead. But I guess 1-2 of this card is ok, if your opponent kills your lord, you can bring it back. Since your deck is trying to end the game before turn 5. Odds are, your opponent wont have anything good for you to reanimate. Since it has zero synergy with your zombies. You're likely reanimating your own stuff.
If you are able to drop the top of your curve to 4, you can definitely run as low as 20 lands. Your average cost will need to be 1-2cmc. Some 3 cmc (your lords), 1-4 4cmc cards. I recommend 21 lands.
Instead of dark salvation, try Noxious Ghoul.
Strict upgrade to underworld connection is phyrexian arena. Or Dark Tutelage if your average cmc is really low.
Festering Goblin is another amazing 1 drop zombie to consider. There was a functional reprint in one of the core sets but I can't remember the name. When it dies, you can give another creature -1/-1, so that means this 1/1 goblin can trade with a 2/2. If you run the above mentioned carrion feeder turn 1. Then festering goblin turn 2, sacrifice the festering goblin to carrion feeder, you can kill a 1/1 blocker on your opponent's side then swing in with a 2/2 carrion feeder on turn 2. Sweet synergy. I also highly recommend grim haruspex, even if hes not a wizard, he is a much better card advantage machine than underworld connection which you can't use to hit your opponent.
Just some suggestions ! Hope this helps. I consider myself more of a spike, while i love fun deck, I enjoy giving recommendations. I actually have a mono block deck casual deck that does really well. It runs both carrion feeder and festering goblin along with other value cards. It doesn't have any lords though. I didn't open any Amonkhet and cemetary reaper, lord of the undead, and the baron are just too expensive for me. Its a fun deck that wants creatures to die. The main card is Quest for Gravelord. I don't think that card works for your deck though.
Starfury117 I'm trying to create the same kind of deck.. can you give me some tips??
That is a quality zombie deck for that price!!! Nice!!!
How about, grave crawler altar of the brood and phyrexian altar combo?
I looked it up; there are four hundred and four zombies creature cards.
+Raynie Daze holy crap
I'm making a B/U zombie Edd with ghissa and Geralf but soon to make a grixis with nekusar. Just waiting for nicol bolas god Pharaoh
Nice deck man imma get some of those cards .Im making a zombie deck to but i got 1 drops that exile a creature from a graveyard and I get a 2/2 zombie token .
rip leo there has to be a creature in the graveyard to exile so you would be playing that on turn 3 or 4 not as good
jacob blackman yeah but it's great to get rid of creatures that come back from grave and I made my deck into a zombie token deck that really good
rip leo what's the decklist and you better be running sacromancy then lol
jacob blackman nah dude I use diregaf collossus and grave crawler and I'll give you the full deck list man in a bit
It does not fit in a zombie only deck but a few Blood Artist and some Bloodthrone Vampire makes zombies much more aggressive 3rd turn attack you can deal some serious damage if no blocker with the bloodthrone, as you would drop a messenger sac him 2 times to the vampire 5 damage there plus the lose 4 life on the messengers, also bloodghast helps alot as well and gravecrawler with another zombie pumps your bloodthrone up +2/+2 per black mana you have if a blood artist in play thats nice direct damage life loss as well. I like running Bump in the Night as well 3 life loss for 1 black is solid. I run urborgs and fetches when playing with the Bloodghasts though.
I also run a few Phyrexian Obliterators Main deck and have in Sideboard a few Phyrexian crusaders and Abattior Ghouls the Abattior ghoul just for playing against zombies as they mess up Geralf's Messenger and you can actually get 1 life back out of the deal if they swing with it.
I have a dozen or so blood artists, I might consider that. Ty!
Should replace the Hero's Downfall with Never//Return. has same cmc and ability as that card plus has a added graveyard effect later in the game if you need another zombie.
I'll check it out, thanks bunny!
Nice slipknot in the background! Good ol' sulfur
With all the Zombie tokens maybe a Gravespawn Sovereign.
Lord of the Undead has been relabeled as a ZOMBIE in 10th Edition!!! Throw those right back in!
I have 4 of the Lords in my zombie deck.
A paper magic decklist with a metal background? Yep with pleasure guy!
Why do you not have at least one Endless Ranks of the Dead, in the deck or sideboard. ;-;
Ps: I run Dimir zombies, which is fantastic :)
surprised you don't use bone splinters in your deck for card removal
I'm trying get a journey into nyx box soon and I just need to buy more cards in general 😅
don't get Journey, get a box of khans of tarkir, much better value
You were close joey, there are as of today 383 Zombies.*
*This includes multicolored and non-black zombies
+Tanner Lange holy shit! I want to collect them all! Thx Tanner for the info
Where is your korlash?
youre wrong, this is "the most godly deck ive ever seen"
Thx Marx 😀
I would like help on a deck that can take down a beefy green deck
you could throw coat of arms and endless ranks of the dead in there
+Ethan Wilder True
Like breathing in sulfur
Hey bad boy mtg what's up man? hope you're doing okay. I was wondering if you would do a video on a commander deck once the new ones come out or something like that?
I'm doing good thanks for asking Brian. Yes, when the new Commander Decks hit the shelves I plan on reviewing one or two if not all of them.
Bad Boy MTG okay awesome thanks for the reply
What about oversold cemetery?
Once again late to this party haha but you gave me plenty ideas to add to my scarab god edh deck
Cryptbreaker would be a perfect addition to the deck.
I thought I sideboarded him, either way he was on the table lol
Bad Boy MTG I guess I missed him. Either way, the dude should be in your main board. He makes zombies and draws cards! What more could you ask for?
god ! i have to try it, i think it's a pretty good deck !
I love your content and love your taste in music but i would be really careful with playing music in the background because most if not close to all music is copyrighted and it can strike your account if the right person were to flag your videos for copyright infringement and could potentially shut your channel down and i would hate to see that because your personality is amazing and would love to keep it on youtube.
RElVliiXED Klondike {iLogicRemix} Yeah, I've backed off playing music since
My MTG Zombie deck version produce zombie tokens with endless ranks of the dead.
You ought to switch the rhystic tutor with diabolical tutor. One more to cast but harder for them to counter. Other than that I like this
Can I run Demonic Tutor in this deck? If so, how many?
You can run demonic tutor, but I would run 2.
Love your content
try using rootlung animator and cabal archon and patriarch bidding and put grave pact also you will the difference
Lukas Schmidt, This should help you with your zombid deck!
