Hey all, I'm trying to create an effective zombie deck that sticks to the Alara Block, with some help from the new Magic 2010 set. I'd like some feedback on my card choices and suggestions on cards I may have overlooked. My main questions are:
1. Do I have enough creatures? This isn't a super fast deck, it's more centered in controlling the board and then overwhelming my opponent with zombies or decking them. However, I of course need to survive, so I want to make sure I have enough creatures for the early game.
2. Unscythe, Killer of Kings or Cemetery Reaper? Unscythe works great in many ways, helping my specters fight off air attackers (a major weakness in my defenses), and comboing great with deathtouch. Cemetery Reaper, however, just flat out works in this deck.
Anyways, thanks for reading and looking in advance, here it is:
Creatures (16)
4x Grixis Grimblade
4x Death Baron
4x Lich Lord of Unx
4x Sedraxis Specter
Spells (16)
3x Terminate
4x Grixis Charm
3x Countersquall
2x Soul Manipulation
4x Mind Funeral
Artifacts (2)
2x Unscythe, Killer of Kings
Planeswalkers (2)
2x Jace Beleren
Land (24)
8x Swamp
5x Island
4x Mountain
4x Crumbling Necropolis
2x Drowned Catacomb
1x Dragonskull Summit
