Notes:
Help please I need board wipes

xBeLLaTriX

If you need board wipes, {Mutilate} is the obvious choice.

InfinitiveDivinity

No {Grisly Salvage} or {Mulch}? 4 Lilly? No {Grim Backwoods}? Ahhhh!

Calebestes

Why would you use 4 Lilly's ever in a zombie deck?   No rancors?  No diregraf ghouls?   Lilly's = too slow!   3 mana for Lilly or 3 mana for Geralfs messanger?  Hmmm.

Run a playset of Woodland Cemetary.

Calebestes

I'd drop the  {Farseek} as well.  It's just not worth a turn two.  Especially running 4 woodland cemetery's, maybe golgari guild gate.  You should have plenty of land.

Could make it more aggressive with {Blood Artist} and some sac outlet creature like {Bloodthrone Vampire} or {Bloodflow Conniseur}. {Rancor}, {Diregraf Ghoul}, and possibly {Rakdos Cackler} are must include in aggro versions.
If more mid-range, try {Mutilate} as your board wipe with all those swamps. {Killing Wave} is not highly reliable of a board wipe. Also, {Deathrite Shamen} can take advantage of those extra instants and sorcery (I say extra since most zombie decks are more creature heavy). Also like the idea of the {Golgari Keyrune} but that may be personal preference since I am fond of the deathtouch on a stick.
Side in {Golgari Charm} and maybe {Neutralize}, enchantment like {Rest in Peace} really neuters a zombie deck. Also, figure something against Pro-black cards like {Knight of Glory}... they don't wreck Rock / GB decks as much as Mirrian Crusader, but comes close enough to be a main counter against zombies.

Calebestes

Yeah I forgot about knight of glory.  He has been getting alot of play lately.  It's gonna be hard to get some creature kill with GB.   If I was you, you could go Jund or BR.  Check out my BR Zombies deck and see what you think.

Thank you guys..I run a B/R haste deck right now.. And I wanted to put blood artist in here but I can't find him..I was also gonna put bone splinters..and I really don't have woodland cemeteraries right now they are kind of expensive

Lilly helps me control the field and hand..what do I lose if I discard? I just scavenge or cast gravecrawler.. I usually -2 her and they will swing at her..I let her die and just bring another out and start picking at their hand

Calebestes

What if you can't afford to discard?

I've got a contract for that, just {Sign in Blood}

Calebestes

What if you are at two life?  Or hell even 4?  Zombie decks are meant for 5-7 turn wins.   Not late game.  Late game zombies without cemetery reapers or gravetitan is a fail.  But who knows.  I ran them in mine and I'd have rather had another creature in hand.

It's really a personal preference I guess. You never want a card in hand to be a "dead" card. SIB can be helpful with Lilly that's all.  Heck, it can be used as discard fodder for her if you're too low on life.

I usually burn my hand quick.. Lilli helps control wellllll..they have no cards in hand.. They have to top deck while I have a few creatures swinging away at them..if they do happen to pull out a creature I just -2 her and swing away..I gain a good amount of life with the shaman..

Lol I need to update my deck..it's a little different
