Congrats on the primer status Darrenhabib, I have been lurking this thread for a while, and I build the deck after opening the twins in my battlebond sealed. Hopefully its allowed to discuss previews, so how much of an autoinclude is this card?
Goes inf with Kaladesh Chandra + Curio + Any other walker.
the pirate that sacs for 2 treasures seems pretty decent in your list, and I think glimmer is better than Pirate's Prize, instant speed + scry 2 must be better than 1 treasure.
why? bears with relevant abilities tend to be useful, plenty of ways to activate it during your opponents turn, be it cryptbreaker or haunted dead with amalgams. Key to his strenght is that it triggers of zombies entering the battlefield, not when you cast a zombie spell like Diregraf Colossus.
I think amonkhet zombies will play alot different from SoI zombies, I think it will be more an Aristocrat build than graveyard based madness shenanigans.
You have 2 awesome drain creatures at cmc 2 (Wayward Servant) and 3 (Plague Belcher). You have a lord who can give your horde Menace to make it hard for your opponent to block. you have access to 2 one cmc removal spells (fatal push and time to reflect).
Fill it in with Cryptbreaker, Binding Mummy, Dread Wanderer (maybe go with prized amalgam package (and it is really cute with Binding Mummy, get back haunted dead and a couple of amalgams, tap their team and go ham) tho I dont think you run enough discard to make it worth, and I dont think you want Haunted dead in this kind of deck).
You can potentially end your curve at 3 and just go all out aggro in the early turns, then grind with drain, menace and crarddraw from Cryptbreaker to seal the deal.
in the zombie build I think it is better than Liliana, the last hope atleast.
EDIT:
Could this be a wincon in this deck? with alot of tappers and ways to make quite the horde of zombies it seems like a fast and neat wincon (maybe better than Akromas Memorial?)
5-0 decks from the first Competative League post Aether Revolt on MTGO is up. And I must say im quite supprized to see 2 R/B Zombie lists there, because I thought the copter loss was too big. As it seems thought it has instantspeed interaction vs catcombo, and Voldaren Flip is good vs B/G (probobly better now since people doesnt play Ishkanah as much as before). I dont know how we beat tokens yet, but then again I havent playtested at all post Aether revolt.
As per the oracle rulings: 2/9/2017 Because improvise isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs. meaning you can use improvise to pay the surge cost since it is an alternative cost.
Sram is nice and all, but you have to run the duals might come in to play tapped, which can set you back a whole turn, and Sram dies to every kind of removal there is (One of the big upside with this deck for me, is that it turns of so many cards for our opponent).
The biggest upside for Whir of Invention is that it makes it so that your opponent can't spell queller your aetherflux + you can run some one of's if that's needed.
@Unisom in your list Inspiring Statuary does almost nothing, only paradoxical Outcome and Crush of tentacles actually gets discounted by it since all your other non-artifact spells already have inspire.

This guy seems pretty decent at making mana, a bit pricy at 4, and more vurnable than Carnival of souls, but soooo much safer.
