Notes:
Brand new zombie deck I have made. Intended to buff, get cheap guys out, and never let anything stay in the Graveyard long. After I post it, I will post a list of cards not in it so you can advice me(if you want, it would be appreciated) on cards I should perhaps change out.

I wish I could afford those.

I was about to order another Zombie Apocalypse and a Grimoire of the dead?

I also have 4 Highborn Ghouls and 1 Crypt Creeper that I could put in, but not sure what i would replace.

Just looked up Geth's. Wow would work great. Thanks and it's a cheap one. Was thinking of the ranks of the dead(think that's the name) that gives you 13 2/2 zombie tokens?

Too expensive. You want speed and death! I would go with some {bone splinters} to go with your undying. Sac your own, they get bigger, you kill off one of theirs. And best part is that with the cemetery reapers, you can start making your tokens. Which is why death baron is definately worth it's price.

Replaced the Crypt Creeper with another Highborn Ghoul, making that 2 Highborns in the deck.

I'm taking out gravepurge and reaping the graves and replacing them with 4 Ghoulcaller's Chant.

I need to add 4 Geth's Verdict and possibly 1 Call to the Grave. Any ideas of what cards I should take out for these?

Undead warchief is a way better t4 play.

Endless is a tempting card, but with all the  cards bringing zombies back from the graveyard and the cemetery reapers making tolkens, figured I'd be covered. But might need to use of this is a total fail.

Any thoughts which 4 cards I should chop in order to add Geth's Verdict?

I already chopped 3 reaping the graves and one gravepurge for the Ghoulcaller's Chant.

Thanks

Will mean a lot to beat this guy. I'm on disability so hard to buy cards and guy I'm playing owns a card shop. He plays black/blue zombies, Angels mono white, a blue/red counter burn deck, and a vampire mono black deck.

Take out the unholy strength and tragic slip. Only put two geths verdict. I know it's good but you want the focus to be zombie support. Two should be good.

Sounds good and true. It is definitely hard! With Cemetery Reaper out, forcing him to sacrifice a creature, lose a life, and then me spend 3 to exile and make a 2/2 zombie token seemed like a good combo but you are right. Have enough offense already though, I suppose and shouldn't get too distracted from main goal. Thanks for the advice!

I had already replaced the Tragic Slip and the Unholy Strength with two Highborn Ghouls, so I will take those out to make room for the two Geth's Verdicts.

I've been wondering, since I will have 4 Ghoulcaller's Chants in the deck that raise 2 zombies at a time from the graveyard if I should go down to 2 Zombie Apocalypse cards and either bring in another zombie, or add a mana( like haunted fengraf which can be sacrificed for 3 to bring back a zombie from graveyard). What do you think?

Thanks again all. Learning a lot

Made all my final changes as I got the cards today. Hope the edit made it show on main deck.

Anyway final version changes (for now) are as follows:

Removed: Call to the Grave x1, removed 1 zombie apocalypse, removed 2 reaping the graves, removed 1 gravepurge, and 3 Vengeful Dead

Added:
1x Vengeful Pharaoh
4x Geth's Verdict
4x Ghoulcaller's Chant

Thanks for all the tips!

Took out one Pharaoh and put in one Geth, Lord of the vault. Might be a good finisher and ability has synergy w the deck theme
