Well I pulled 3 death baron's so i decided to give building zombies a shot.

// Lands
4 [MOR] Mutavault
9 [B] Swamp (1)
3 [B] Plains (1)
4 [EVE] Fetid Heath
4 [10E] Caves of Koilos

// Creatures
4 [10E] Lord of the Undead
3 [ALA] Viscera Dragger
2 [10E] Spineless Thug
4 [ALA] Tidehollow Sculler
4 [ALA] Dregscape Zombie
4 [ALA] Death Baron
4 [EVE] Stillmoon Cavalier

// Spells
4 [SHM] Beseech the Queen
4 [LRW] Nameless Inversion
3 [LRW] Profane Command

// Sideboard
SB: 4 [B] Terror
SB: 4 [LRW] Thoughtseize
(need to finish the sb ofc)

It works alright atm not a whole lot of goodies for zombies in t2 but with death baron, stillmoon, and sculler there are some seksi choices. =D

Mutavault is also good in here because it gets big between lords of the undead and death baron's.

Anybody have any constructive complaints or criticism?

A lot

I tried to work out a MB build but it didnt work out w/o damnation, some important cards that might help:
Graveborn Muse is great card advantage
Makeshift mannequin is a fun addition, but only a 2 of really
Thoughtseize main might be better than board
Overall, the deck is fun but not quite competitive yet, it could use 2-3 more key cards to be a very useful deck
Edt: Btw nameless inv. is usually a good substitute for terror

You should consider crib swap. Good answer for chameleon, plus is re-usable with lord of the undead.

I've toyed around with zombies myself, its fun and it beats 'stuff' fairly often. Personally I found the hardest matches being RDW, Any deck with Chameleon's, and obviously Faeries. So basically the current tier decks which is kind of a drag to playing it. Basically for it to work you need to be able to deal with those. Thoughtseize mainboard would be good, and probably 3 0-rings or Crib swams mainboard as well. I'd sideboard eddicts maybe and/or Infests too.

Here's a similiar list.

Fleshbag Marauder!

I'd put this in the board instead of Cruel Edict. Especially if you start running a mannequin or 2.

Although I haven't played with your list I think you're being generous with the white mana. You only need it to play the skulkers and crib swaps. I'd cut all the reflecting pools and go down to 2 plains and 8 dual lands (or 2 arcane lab, 8 duals and 1 or 0 plains)

I truly think you need graveborn muse in the deck (2 of) and I really like thoughtseize maindeck to beat the 8 wrath decks and getting rid of the T2 bitterblossom.

I have to agree with you on both parts, the only reason im nice on the white is because I hate mws shuffler screwing me over Razz

Oh yea any thoughts on Mirrorweave?
