This deck has not been play tested, but it seems like it might be good. Let me know what you think.

A 2/2 zombie is not worth discarding 2 cards, maybe add {moan of the unhallowed} instead?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have the infestations in there to dump my gravecrawlers and some land late game to keep pumping out dudes, but yeah it might not be worth it. I had 2 negates in the slot before. I might just go back to that. Like I said this is just a paper draft havn't been play tested yet. What do you think about just throwing in the negates in replace of infestation?

I've never really used {negate} much, how about an extra {vapor snag} and an extra {cemetery reaper}?

Yeah that might be ok, I can always side the negat if needed. I'll try play test that and tweek it from there.

Ok, I got to play test  this at fnm and it does really good against most decks, u/w humans give it probs. mainly cause of mirran crusader, so my side board is mainly geared to beat that. I was surprised to see how solid it actually plays. Let me know what you think of the tweaks.

K, I revamped my zombie deck, it is geared to compete with u/w humans, since through play testing I have discovered that that deck gives this build the most problems.

Let me know what yall think.

I would drop the {cemetery reaper}'s if you are running four {diregraf captain}'s. They do the same thing except the captain has deathtouch and the reaper allows you to put a 2/2 out for 3 mana. Not worth it unless they keep bringing a creature back from the dead. If you want zombies for free basically I would put {endless ranks of the dead} in there at least two anyways. Also maybe {skinrender}.  It is a very good creature for 4 mana cause of it's ability. Also with the captains or the reapers {skinrender} will be one of your most powerful creatures.
