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.

Yeah I can agree {Green Sun's Zenith} does seem bad now that I take a look at my green creatures currently 😜

{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 :/

I use http://deckstats.net/ for my mana base. I start with the deck raw, and craft my base using http://manabasecrafter.com/
I try for the absolute largest amount of basic lands I can and still fix properly. {Blood Moon} is a thing. It usually ends up being like 10-12 basic lands, but still.
I'll usually look at similar lists to see if I can find anything I hadn't considered before. I added {Novijen, Heart of Progress} to my Roon deck that exploits Persist creatures and sack outlets. It was tech I hadn't considered because that card came out so long ago and I didn't remember it.

Thanks! 😊 any other suggestions for these zombie tribal decks??

{Grimoire of the Dead} deserves a slot

What do you guys think about the new Sultai commander coming out? I feel it's more of a "value piece" to this deck rather than a replacement for Damia sadly :/

---------------------

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant
1BUG

Legendary creature - Naga Shaman

Whenever Sidisi, Brood Tyrant enters the battlefield or attacks, put the top three cards of your library into your graveyard.

Whenever one or more creature cards are put into your graveyard from your library, put a 2/2 Black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield.

3/3
