Notes:
Here is a different take on golgari zombies. I can't take credit for this list however the sideboard is mine. It beats the mirror match against the current black red and black green lists out there

I'd say 2 forests are strictly better than {golgari guild gate} especially running 22 lands. You're going to want to play something if not 2 things every turn especially since this is Aggro.

See I can't say strictly better. The guild gate provides extra mana fixing and wot give me a problem casting messenger. Sure it not likely to happen where I get a forest and no other three swamp cards but even so, knowing all my lands can tap for black is was better even if they arrive tapped. Besides most of the time u either get them in a starter and can play them first or u much like the shocks late game. Let them just be tapped. Mana fixing is way more important

That land is not that good... It costs 4 mana, so it could quite possibly consume your entire turn in a deck with not a ton of lands, and it only nets you one card.
