Ok so I have a zombie deck that is pretty good at eliminating threats such as flying and big creatures. Do you guys know any other weaknesses of zombie decks and possible how to fix them? Thanks!
I would say i have the biggest prob with equipment, enchantments, and artifacts. If you find a way around them let me know.
{Swift foot boots} for {gravecrawler}. Helps with the early game. Gives {grim grin corpse born} cheap hex proof.
{Angel of Glory's Rise}
Give up on Zombies, WotC needs white aggro to rule standard for a long, long time. I just don't see why they spent so long building a tribe to ruin it. It's wholly better then {Zombie Apocalypse}
A single seven drop creature doesn't hose a whole tribe. :P {Mikaeus the Unhallowed} didn't erase human decks, did it?
It's mostly the principle of the thing. U/W and WW is a prevailing archetype, and zombies kinda took another step back.
It's a card that didn't need to be printed, and it's a silly card to completely GG zombie decks.

Shh, don't tell anyone, but zombies can come back from the dead. ;)

But not exile. Hate that card
Mana converters ({Shimmering Grotto}) or {Manalith}s for {Nevermore}.

I fixed that with 8 dual lands
Would {Surgical Extraction} or {Praetor's Grasp} help?

Oops! My bad, I misread it, thinking it only killed zombies. Wow, that IS a lot of hate for an already weak tribe. ;_;
Yep, {Cavern of Souls}, add {Cloudshift} and assure that you can dominate Zombies for a long time.

How would {Cloudshift} help zombie decks?

I meant it helping that Angel dominate Zombies. Even if you can somehow {Undead Alchemist}, use {jace, memory adept} second ability for some tokens, they can blink the angel and destroy everything. It's a hypothetical

{Meddling Mage}s would be good then too.

I think that players running a deck to support 5WW would much rather {Elesh Grand Cenobite} instead of a narrow hoser.
There are better cards, but if that's the case, why weaken Zombies at all? It makes sense from a story standpoint, but not from a necessity.

Sometimes, cards are made for symmetry, flavor, drafting, or many other reasons. {Zombie Apocalypse} didn't demolish the human tribe, I doubt this angel will crush zombies by itself either.

Weak??
Nonsense!
I consistently go 3-1 with my Zombies, often losing only to other Aggro decks, I seem to consistently beat Control. It has yet to take me to the top though =/
