Zombies!


It's Halloween! What better way to celebrate than with a Zombie deck? Here's a home brew I've been trying out; it's standard-legal and has fared pretty well so far:

2 Champion of the Perished (MID) 91
22 Swamp (MID) 382
2 Necrosynthesis (MID) 115
2 Bloodchief's Thirst (ZNR) 94
4 Eaten Alive (MID) 99
4 Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia (MID) 108
2 Tainted Adversary (MID) 124
4 Hobbling Zombie (MID) 106
2 Inscription of Ruin (ZNR) 108
4 Morbid Opportunist (MID) 113
4 Death-Priest of Myrkul (AFR) 95
4 No Way Out (MID) 116
4 The Meathook Massacre (MID) 112

The concept is simple: zombies. Jadar, Ghoulcaller is great for generating zombies each turn, and Morbid Opportunist benefits from their 'decayed' ability to draw a card each turn. Death-Priest of Myrkul makes zombies bigger and gives a way for more sacrificial fodder (skeletons) should need arise. Force your opponent to discard with No Way Out and Inscription of Ruin. Champion of the Perished can get crazy big with all the dying going on. And Meathook Massacre can be a game-ender.

Though pleased with it overall, I'm thinking of one change:
- swapping out No Way Out for . . . something. Crawl from the Cellar? Ecstatic Awakener? Something else? I have time to play with it. For now, though, this one is working well enough.
