Criticism welcome. My goal with this deck is to flood the board with zombies. It plays well against my friends in a casual setting but we are going to start playing FNM at our local card shop. I know I have fun playing this deck and winning isn't everything to me, but do you guys think it'll be competitive enough? Again criticism welcome and I'm working on a tight budget! Any help for a FNM noob is appreciated :) thanks

Any suggestions? Would this deck be good for FNM?

Ditch the {rooftop storm} for another mana leak.

I would lose the mana leaks, co spidering they're probably not going to be legal soon.

Put some grave titans in there!

I would take thr canclea out and use 4 mana leaks. Take rooftop storms and deoblic tutuirs. They will slow your play down. U want to be droping one to 2 zombies evey turn. So zombies that cost 1 are great.

Thanks for the advice guys. I took out the tutors sideboard the cancels main board the highborn and added hunted ghouls. Also added 2 more mana leaks. Also ditched the rooftop storm. Ill play test tonight and see if I like it. I'm glad there's a community here willing to help me learn deck building you guys (and gals) are great

Oh snap! This is all so new to me. Haha

I say keep the leaks unless you find some good zombie substitutes. One thing about mana leaks: don't let them slow you down! If you always have 2 mana open to counter their win con, they won't need a win con because they will flood the board early while you are still leaving 2 mana completely useless until you counter something! Also, mana leaks are useless in the late game against a smart player! Yes it is easier to hide that you are keeping mana open, but a smart opponent will never tap all his or her mana for something if he or she sees that you have been holding the same card for the whole game! ;)

I put a deck tech on my YouTube channel for blue black zombie swarm.   Search leevai666 and go to the videos on my channel it's ez to find.

Nice video I like your deck a lot. Id like to run more 4 of ( like 4 gravecrawler etc) but I've had to invest my money else where lately so it's moved down my priority list for now. I like having a few counters in my deck bc it seems if I can disrupt my opponents plan a bit then my odds of winning increase, may or may not be 100% but I like having some control in there anyway.

Again thx for the Input peoples it plays much better now. I'll update the deck list soon maybe I could get some last minute ideas before my first FNM tomorrow
