- This Commander deck is based around the Tribal theme of Zombies and stars Grimgrin, Corpse-born as its general.
- The deck is built for any size of multiplayer game and excels best in 3 and 4 player match ups where board wipes might not occur every turn.. This deck however is not likely to hold its own in 1v1 without considerable tuning; it is however very fun to play, mmgrrr brains!
-The play style is that of zombie beat down and continual board presence. Landing your general and abusing him is a main focus of the deck but you will also be making small hordes of zombies for opponents to deal with. If you manage to land a Rooftop Storm It's happy fun times for sure, but I have opted not to include very many tutors for it, cause well hey, its not that fun to win with the same boring combo each time. In place of tutors I have added tools and synergies to help the general and his zombies do their thing.
-The deck has a small amount of removal on flavour and a high amount of synergy between cards. While it isn't necessary to have Grimgrin up and running all the time, he can do a significant amount of work over time without making you too much of a threat at the table; and sometimes can even make you allies by consistently picking off the largest threat on the board.
Hey all, it's new set time and though I'd do a quick review of each deck and update their main lists.
Khans has brought one notable goody for the Zombie tribe with Empty the Pits. I am hesitant to include it in the deck since I have tried to stay away from cards that require me to exile my own graveyard as this greatly diminishes the strength of recursion spells. That said, Delve allows me to choose what cards get exiled, and instant speed zombie hordes are pretty tough to pass up.
In addition to a visual update by card function, the main list has also received the following changes;
Out:
-Polluted Mire Help to fix CiPT issues.
-Remote Isle Help to fix CiPT issues.
-Woebearer Although very flavourful, I felt that this card was the most subpar on the totem pole.

In:
+Dismal Backwater Still comes into play tapped but is much better.
+Talisman of Dominance not sure how I missed adding this one.
+Empty the Pits Hopefully not a dead card most of the time.
Thanks for Comments and Happy Crafting!
