Notes:
BUG colors (Black, Blue, Green) have always been my favorite tri-color combination ever since I played a deck called BUG immortal servitude in standard, I was hooked. And after I left the standard environment, I was excited to see what commander had to offer for them! Which to my surprise, wasn't much 😭 Damia, Sage of Stone is my general ATM until I can find a lovely zombie one/good one from khans! Any advice/more zombies to add/what to cut would be much appreciated!

Commander 2014 is gonna have some sick cards. I wish I could remember the names but they're black and blue legendaries.

It's Geralf and his sister, which both work well with zombies! 💀

UPDATE: friend of mine was very generous and gave me 4 of the cards that I wanted to put into my deck as a present! 😊 but now I need help figuring out what are the weaker cards within the deck to take out 😰 please help!

Cards I'm adding:
+ {Death Baron}
+ {Lord of the Undead}
+ {Corpse Harvester}
+ {Grave Titan}

LinkCelestrial

{Lotleth Troll} there are better cards, doesn't fit tribal.
{Snapcaster Mage} doesn't fit tribal, not many things to use it on.
{Glissa, the Traitor} I'm not seeing very many artifacts to use it with.
{Eternal Witness} doesn't fit tribal, there are better ways to do the same thing.
{Reclamation Sage} I'm not sure why you're rubbing this without bounce effects.
{Prophet of Kruphix} great card, but it's not a zombie.
{Acidic Slime} people really hate this card in Commander. And it's not a zombie.
{Consecrated Sphinx} not a zombie. (But so good!)
{Craterhoof Behemoth} not a zombie. Kinda been done to death.

There's what I'd be looking at for cuts and future cuts.

I'll consider some of these, but I don't plan on running all zombies in this deck, that's why I have non zombies also. I just mainly want the creature base to be zombies, also, lotleth troll is actually a zombie 😉

EDITS:
- {Consecrated Sphinx}
- {Deathrite Shaman}
- {Acidic Slime}
- {Lim-Dûl the Necromancer}

+ {Grave Titan}
+ {Corpse Harvester}
+ {Death Baron}
+ {Lord of the Undead}

I really want to find more room for  {Gray Merchant of Asphodel} , {Agent of Erebos} , and {Tombstone Stairwell} but I don't want to loosen up on any more creatures, are there any enchantments/instants/sorcerys/artifacts that seem weak to anyone?

{Maelstrom Pulse} and {Beast Within} seem weak to me. {Green Sun's Zenith} seems kinda bad too.

{Maelstrom Pulse} and {Beast Within} are some of the most powerful cards in the format. They can answer just about anything, including Planeswalkers. Also, what card does what {Eternal Witness} does, better? I might consider it for my Roon deck if that thing exists.

I don't think there's any creature that does what E-Witt does better, but for sorcerys,  {Regrowth} is better

That's debatable, but yeah. I thought there was a creature spell that was better then Eternal Witness. I was going to An Hero for forgetting it.

As for some help. I think {Lifebane Zombie} and {Ætherspouts} aren't that great. I think Lifebane's effect is too narrow and only targets 1 player. I think {Cyclonic Rift} is better then spouts, but more boring. Although I will say {Ætherspouts} does have a place in EDH

Hmm I guess I can deffinetly agree with Lifebane, but as far as spouts goes, I prefer it over  {Cyclonic Rift} tbh. I don't like the "overload all my opponents stuff, then proceed to be the target". I believe spouts is a more fair and less hated card within edh. I'll go ahead and place {Gray Merchant of Asphodel} over  {Lifebane Zombie}.

Also, don't mean to make you look hard for me, but do you think I have a good enough mana base? I realized when playing that I have dominately double or even triple black spells, I just want to make sure I'm able to hit that when it comes to it :/
