This deck was created as a counter to all the Blue Black :symb::symu: Zombie decks I had seen. I wasn't particularly keen on GrimGrim. He just didn't seem that fun to me. It pretty much was Zombie control. I however had a lot of Zombie cards and did want to make a zombie deck, but I didn't want to use any of the Alara Zombies as generals.
I came upon Lord of Tesserhorn and I found the commander I wanted. A 10/4 for Four manna? True it needed additional conditions to stay in play successfully. So I made my deck around either getting amazing hands to allow zombie swarms, or to be slow, get my general down and swing for some big G-Damage.
Its pretty fun and I use it when I'm not playing ultra Competitive.
I'm more then happy to take suggestions and such. I'll update as I add and take away cards. Anyone wanting to comment on how they like it or dislike it is welcome too.
I'm liking the new :symr::symb: Zombie for this deck. Works well with gravecrawler or any zombie that has a graveyard recoursion effect. Plus hes only two mana, can shock people or be played early as fodder to Tesserhorn.
Edit: took him out. Nekusar tickled my fancy better.
And of course, commander has Brought out the secondary Grixis General. I'm loving it. I might have to change the way my deck works a bit while keeping the Zombie tribal.. or just make a new deck for that. But I really don't want to have to buy all new lands for that.
Just added Nekusar as one of the 'one of' and I like. A howling mine that hurts others, expecially when I already have a few wheel effects as is. I'll update the list when I have a chance *not that anyone really cares*
(I care)
your decks all seem really well built and on-theme and fantastic. I'm loving Distortion Strike as an auto-win, and Crypt Champion seems surprisingly excellent too.

Nekusar really kicks the deck into overdrive. I don't know what I did without him in my deck before. The gorwing ranks of zombies start forcing players to take action, and my wheel effects are now deadly. Thinking about adding the Red Command and maybe that spell that puts 13 zombies into play tapped. Either that or the enchantment that adds zombies based on how many I have.
