For a while now I have been mainly focusing my games on the Commander format, as keeping up with rotations was getting to be a pain and just expensive. Now we have a little thing coming up with one of my old playgroups reuniting for a weekend of fun Magic games. We'll be playing a few different formats to entertain us all and Standard is going to be one of them, so I need a little deck to use for that. Though obviously I don't want to commit too much money to it and having some Amonkhet drafts come up this weekend, I'll be likely to pick up some cards there and help build this budget deck.
I'm pretty much trying to make a budget BW Zombie/Embalm deck for the reunion weekend, using mainly cards from the new set for it. Haven't worked on the mana base yet, just added some basics as placeholders until I can see what I still need after this weekend and well how much money that will take. Like said, not intending to spend too much on it, so the lands will suffer the most.
I think I'd drop the Embalm creatures in favor of more actual zombies. Possibly from other standard legal sets. Lord of the Accursed only helps half of your creatures after they've been Embalmed. In the mean time, they're much smaller and weaker. Something like a Diregraf Colossus would work better. It immediately gets pumped up by your Lord, it immediately triggers our Binding Mummies and Wayward Servants, and then when you cast more zombies, it puts more zombies in play getting double triggers of your other zombies. There's other great zombies from SOI block as well.
