Zombie Deck

[Dragothien]

Hello, I am recently returned to magic on a casual basis after years of not playing. While messing with some old decks did net me some success, I decided they needed major overhauls.

At this time I want to rebuild my zombie deck. I've done alot of research and have come up wtih what I consider to be a solid list of cards for a zombie deck...Problem is there are way too many cards. NOTE: I'm in this for legacy/casual fun play..I don't care what tournaments this deck is legal in.

Here is the decklist:


[Lands]
Unholy Grotto x2
Cabal Coffers x4
uborg tomb of yawg x1
Swamp x15

[1 mana]
Carrion Feeder x4
Festering goblin x4

[2 mana]
Stromgald Crusader x4

[Cycle 2]
Gempalm Polluter x4

[3 mana]
Lord of the Undead x4
Zombie Trailblazer x2
Zombie master x2
Soulless One x4

[4 mana]
Undead Warchief x4
Vengeful Dead x4
korlash, H T B x4

[5 mana]
Grave Defiler x4
Noxious Ghoul x4

Strategies of the Deck are simple but effective:
1) Pump out as many zombies as possible as fast as possible.
2) Make said zombies much more hardcore.
3) Keep Opponents crippled with constant creature destruction via zombies.
4) Wear opponents down with constant life drain.
5) Quick Recovery. Lots of regenerative ability for quick recovery should I get hit by creature wipes.

So again, I think this is a really good list of cards- and I don't beleive there is a single card in the lsit that doesn't work awesomely in a combo with other cards - but there are just way too many. I don't want to go too much over 60, a little is ok but the numbers right now seem way to high.

Please Advise on what should go/ what changes to the numbers I should make will be greatly appreciated. Now is the time to do it as I'm going to have to aquire a great deal of these cards.

I think your just going to have to bite the bullet on this one and make the cuts.

I would start by looking at some of the subpar ones like Crusader, Festering, and Vengeful. I see their purpose but they are less optional. Also both Soulless one and Noxious Ghoul probably don't need to be 4x. 3 or 2 x should suffice. Same goes for the Cabal Coffers. Again, all these are good cards and useful but cuts have to come from somewhere.

If anything you could just cut the four ofs down to three ofs for some room.


have fun, later.
