Ok I see your point at the very least he gives me a little more to work with and can't hurt. Thanks for the advice.

As for grimoire of the dead, it is pretty good, but I already have four cemetery reapers. Do I really need it?

Cemetery reapers exiles creatures to give you zombies. The Grimoire actually gives you ALL THE CREATURES!!  W00t!!  (sorry for yelling, but I do like this card:). )

I forgot to ask, is this deck supposed to be Standard?  If not, I would recommend you take a look at the Undead Archenemy deck or Zombie Planechase decks. If you can get them for a decent price, Zombie Apocolypse has a ton of great Zombie cards. Otherwise, just look up the decklists to see whats in it.

Yeah I'm just playing a standard deck.  I might get a Grimoire of the Dead, but I don't know how well it will work with my Cemetery Reapers. Maybe just avoid exiling anybody strong.

Oh and by the way, I had already changed my original design a little, so I just went ahead and updated the deck list.

I was thinking more about replacing Walking Corpse, and I was contemplating switching them with 4 Leaden Myrs.

They would die once I get out Call to the Grave, but they would help my deck get started, and I could always turn them into tokens later.

What do you think?

I think that's a solid idea. You can ramp your mana and power out your other zombies, by the time you get to the Call to the Grave they usually aren't relevant anymore.

Great, thanks for the advice, I will definitely test it out.
 
Now, however, im also thinking about using Null Champion instead, who  would be usefall later in the game.
Opinions?

I'm not really a fan of Null Champion, but he might be okay.  He's good in slower games, but 3 to level is pretty steep.

Well either way I just got 3 Death Barons, which definitely changes things. Vengeful Pharaoh doesn't seem as good, while Abattoir Ghoul could be really useful. What do you suggest?

++ Death Barons:D  I think Vengeful Pharaoh is an interesting card, but I might only add one for interest sake.  Not much sense in drawing more if you already have one in your gy.

Can you post all of the changes so far, so we can see what the deck looks like now?  You know that you can add the deck from DeckBuilder on the app, right?

True. Also I don't know how to add my deck, just to update the one I already posted. How do I do that?

You can add a deck by recreating it in the deck builder then posting it again. And you might cosider putting in a Vampire Nighthawk or two. Even though they are out of theme you could use them to block and destroy enemy flying cards.

Wait, is this supposed to be standard or casual? Null Champions rotated out.

You should check the Zombie primer over at MTGS - lots of great stuff.

This is really just a casual deck, but I have mostly new cards because I haven't been playing too long.

Also, I made my made my deck in deck builder, I'm just not sure... how to post it.

Finally, my main questions right now are which is better; Skinrenders or Abattoir Ghouls (since they will be more useful with deathtouch from Death Baron).
Also, am I ok to remove the Nim Deathmantles? They seem useful but not necessary.

I had a zombie token deck. grimoire of the dead I thought would be useful but it really doesn't work unless you can destroy your opponents creatures and avoid exiling if at all possible. I ran my deck with 4 Diabolic tutor 2 rune scarred demon 2grave Titan. If you want grimoire to work you need to discard the rune scarred demon's and the grave titan's. That way they come into play as zombies as well and they are pretty big to boot. Also endless ranks of the dead is pretty friggin awesome. I love that card you just have to be sure you remember to put the zombies out each upkeep. call to the grave is especially good since your creatures are all zombies and odds are your opponents aren't. I had a lot of fun with this deck
