Noxious Ghoul can be very controlling as it also triggers of opponents making Zombies which a friend in my meta quickly found out when he played his Sidisi, Brood Tyrant deck. When he went for the usual Sidisi value engine shenanigans he forgot that Noxious Ghoul would also kill Sidisi should he ma...

I think you curve Zed117 . There are certainly some cards I think could be cut for lower CMC creatures, but I don't really know what you prefer as a play style for the deck. I focus in on being a bit more aggro in the early turns with my annoying creatures that can come back if requirements are met....

One thing of note with Diregraf Colossus is that when doing a mass-reanimation when it enters it sees all the zombies from the yard at the time it entered. even when they all are currently on the stack with abilities which also funny enough includes itself. I have been a big fan of Bone Miser in my...

Appreciate the correction in how Diregraf Colossus works. And alse very good to remind that it wouldn't work with Living Death.

How does the cosmic Intervention lead to saccing 3 Times, shouldnt it be t 2? When the cards Return from exile These are new instances of the card similar how persist works right? Saccing them should put them in the graveyard CI leads to three total triggers thusly: (Note: It is as you noted only t...

I guess I am just going to annoy you guys with questions but here goes. How do you decide with how many creatures to attack? Since most of the zombies are low cmc I find there is danger in just straight up looting in the grave. Do you attack with 1-2 creature every turn or just go full value and at...

Rot Hulk is very high on my list of cards I would love to have, but I hope we get a reprint of it soon. Its effect doesn't deserve such a price tag. In terms of other reanimation spells, I love Necromancy , it is so fun to steal a creature from another reanimator. I used to run Animate Dead as well...

The joke is always when in doubt on what to cut, cut a land. but I agree with pokken. Many decks should probably run more lands and be closer to 40 rather than say the default is between 36-37. It also depends on how low your curve is and how many of your lands enter tapped and all that. It is alway...

I see thanks. Mike does help though I assume. I thought more along the line of a combo with plague belcher. I think I will give the New geralt a try as well instead of a lord. Almost like a diregraf colossus and cathars crusade on the same card. Basically the gameplan is casting cheap zombies, get ...

I appreciate the answers, interesting take on the lords, though i definetely saw them being useful in a gisa ghoulcaller deck. Since I own a lot of the zombie lords as well as necroduality, grimgrin I kinda want to play them. But maybe that is more of a second deck. Wonder/Filth/Glory are also card...

I just recently cut Mikaeus, the Unhallowed from my Varina deck as I got reminded that Dread Return exist and I should be playing it. I also haven't really cast big Mike nor reanimated it. In my deck Big Mike felt more like a win more card, and given I have also removed Apprentice Necromancer from m...

Hey, also new here. Have a Gisa and Geralf Zombie Deck but always been interested in a Varina Deck. I noticed most of your decks just run 1-2 Lords. Is there a reason for not running more? I also saw some people mention a combo with Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant. How does that work? I generelly prefer ...

I don't really see the use of it in this style of deck or I should clarify; I don't see it having much impact in my meta. While my meta is high-powered it isn't at the level where Mindbreak Trap would be of much use. Still very cool card

Could you show me your deck please? Certainly ElTuberias. My Varina List: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/geEvj5GMtEOSiM6v4Hdrzw My list varies a bit from the rest, in terms of general removal package I have. I have some cards that I am trying out Cauldron Haze & Revivify which I am uncertain ab...

Tormod, the Desecrator was fun and sometimes effective, but at four-MV he was seemed lacking in my deck. Another build might be another story, but for now, I'm really digging Graveborn Muse in that slot. I run both in my version. Muse is a nice removal magnet as people aren't that keen on me refill...

R has things like Impact Tremors which could possibly substitute effectively, but mostly has gas; Jeska's Will, numerous rituals and heavy hitters like Underworld Breach make Grixis so much faster than Esper. Yeah the issues with that stuff is it's not zombies, so you're diluting your zombie gamepl...

I think getting access to green is a lateral move rather than just being better. Being in grixis I believe gets us more interesting stuff nd best of all gets you access to Deadapult which who can say no to that? Sans green is French for "without", so WUBR . Yeah that is my mistake, comple...

Getting more effecient Zombies is the dream. Especially, in the one and two drop however getting more three drops I wouldn't love as my three drops slot is the most stacked of them all

So far my biggest problem is to figure out what are my flex slots. I have a decent grasp on which are my stables, but which slot are the ones I can take out for some experimentations. The deck has some sick lines now, and Cauldron Haze is moving into being a stable.

New Geralf is a combo enabler with plenty of aggro upside at 3cmc. It has value without the presence of a combo. If necroduality were 3cmc would you consider it? That's kind of how I see this new tool. Its def not a zombie though. Doesnt trigger Varina. Awkward, but powerul card. I might try it out...

.it might be a deck where I don't Noxious Ghoul. And in my Varina deck tribal is the theme so it is a no go for me

Geralf, the fleshwright seems good

I do love both Gisa and Geralf as the necromancers of innastrad. This Geralf seems very cool. Has the right cmc as a 3 mana cost creature, but I still just want it as zombie for all of the tribal component I have in my deck

You convinced me to give another try to Dread Return. I just found a foil old design one for a cheap 0,3$ 🤩 man this new era of easily available old bordered foils is awesome :D I love them. Getting an old bordered foil Sevinne's Reclamation for Ephara was realllly nice. I will say that it is disti...
