Oh nice. Might i suggest {Jace's Erasure} for your deck. It could be pretty helpful

I good card, but not really in line with my strategy.

I do like the combo of {Haakon, Stromglad Scourge} + {Nameless Inversion} + {Rooftop Storm} for infinite, instant-speed +3/-3.

Mwaa haa haa!

Problem is, I have too many ideas to go in this deck.  :(  I can't do them all.  Should I focus more on Knights? Do more with casting from my graveyard, like flashback cards? 

{Crystal Ball} + {Cellar Door} is great for reanimation decks too.

Also, I see this deck having a hard time with enchantments/artifacts, and hexproof dudes.

Maybe {Go for the Throat}
might help you cause it can destroy artifacts but i dont know of many swamp or island cards that destroy enchantments.

Are you sure it works? Nameless Inversion isn't a creature, so Rooftop Storm won't be able to cast it for free.

Dang!  I missed the "creature" part. I thought I said any Zombie spell. 😭
Classic "read-the-whole-card" fail.

I apologize for bursting your bubble.

I'd rather know now than find out in the middle of a game and look like an even bigger idiot. 😜 besides, I still think there are a lot of other good things goin on with this deck.

But, you did give me an idea. If I can change the creature type on {Rooftop Storm} to Knights, then I could use {Court Hussar} to draw my entire library. 😃

Already added. 😉

Let me know how it goes Phat Max. I like it when people use my ideas.

I think this deck needs a sac outlet for infinite fun. Hmmm...

Maybe {Grimgrin, Corpse born}. I like the idea of {Rooftop Storm} into him, then change it to Knights for something like {Court Hussar}

I think I need to nail down what I want this deck to do. Grimgrin would go well in here since I could sac the Hussars in response to them ETB.

Of course, I could always splash red for a {Burning Vengeance} and be mentioned on Daily MtG's Daily Deck List:
