Ah, that is pretty true. I did keep that in mind, and in fact that is why i made the deck so agressive. The fact that Zombies can act as far more resilient merfolk, with all of their recursion and value, i decided to give it a whirl with a similar playstyle. The reason AEther Vial is in here is because it combos very very nicely with any sort of lord, as it can pump your team at instant speed. It can also act as a pseudo ramp spell. Imagine this scenario: Turn one-- AEther Vial; Turn two-- 2-drop, EOT flash in Gravecrawler; Turn 3-- Lord, swing for 6, EOT flash in 2 drop. It is immense value, and not all that unlikely. But yes, i do think this deck could use some more interaction cards, and i will look into making that change. Likely some sort of hand disruption, card draw, or more removal, depending on which one seems to perform better.
Thank you very much!
I've been looking for a way to create a strong, "off-meta" modern Zombies deck for quite some time, and I think this deck could be the start of something...
I've been playtesting this deck online for a bit, and I'm enjoying it. There seems to be quite a lot of synergy between these Zombie cards, and the deck works very very well as a whole. But I'm really looking for some advice as to what cards could be better, or other suggestions for strategies. Keep in mind, I intended for this deck to function much like a Modern Merfolk deck would, just using Zombies and zombie lords instead. I appreciate any thoughts you guys might put into this!
