You have way to many one ofs. Get more 3-4 of cards. It will make your deck more consistent.

Get rid of {Zombie Goliath} it's a 5 drop 4/3 that does nothing special.

Imdowd80 · January 08, 2013, 05:15:02 PM

Get more {Endless Ranks of the Dead}, and {Zombie Apocalypse}

And my personal fav. Combo for zombies is {Phyrexian Altar}, {Diregraf Captain}, and {gravecrawler}. Sack the crawler to the alter, one damage, use produced mana from alter to bring crawler back. Rinse and repeat.

Needs more {Gravecrawler} 

Need more cowbell.

As for {zombie goliath} god is that an awful card or what.

Silent1236 · January 08, 2013, 05:31:07 PM

About as awful as picking {Duskdale Wurm} or {Vastwood Gorger} over {Pelakka Wurm} 

{Geralf's Messenger} + {Hex Parasite} is pretty sweet.

Then throw in a {Spellskite} to keep those kill spells off the parasite for a big troll face. And with this deck, you actually have the right colors so you don't have to pay life!

Any advice on what sets to focus on?

Malachiracer · January 13, 2013, 08:22:19 PM

Any more ideas on what to add?

I use a blue black zombie deck myself. {Gravecrawler} works awesome in combination with {Diregraf Captain} {Rooftop Storm} and {Grimgrin, Corpse-Born}. I would also look into adding more {Geralf's Messenger} As they are a great game ending card with the life damage and the undying. {Death Baron} is also great defensive card as it gives all your zombies death touch with a one one increase. I would prefer {Death Baron} over {Cemetery Reaper} as I find that many times my graveyard is not full of creatures and it's mana cost is expensive to cast a 2/2 zombie creature. You have endless ranks to deal with that. To make it faster I would suggest putting in four {Gravecrawler} and four {Diregraf Ghoul} to get your zombies rolling out rot away and using your {Diregraf Captain} and other zombie boosters to get those guys up to a stronger attack and defence.
