I don't know how many people have realized this. If you use Jace Beleren's "-1: Draw a card" ability three times, and the third time is during the first main phase, then use Sun Titan to return him to play you can use his draw ability again that turn. Once you get this going you can use Jace's draw ability twice every other turn.

Iv'e found e-bay to be the best place to get just about every card. Unless it's a really obscure card there should be lots of auctions to choose from and at least a few of them will be the lowest possible market price. Just make sure you buy from a good seller, if they have made 20 or more transactions and have a feedback score of 97% or higher you should be fine. Just use good judgement.
I would highly suggest replacing Teferi's Moat with the original Moat since basically every creature in your deck that is meant for attacking can fly, and the original Moat can stop all of the opponent's nonflying creatures, not just one's of a certain color. You should also add Blazing Archon since it is pure awesome and would give you an archon trio.
Mind Stone is a good card but it's weak compared to the other mana ramp in this deck. I would suggest replacing it with either Sol Ring or Everflowing Chalice for better mana ramp or Mind's Eye for better card draw, especially in multiplayer.
Kinda risky and hard to pull off, if someone makes you draw a card after you use Hellcarver Demon than you lose. HOWEVER it is very epic if you manage to pull it off! Plus depending on what your fifth card is you may not have much to worry about.
Great suggestions!
@Arch: This is meant to be a zombie themed deck, and if I lost that tribal theme it wouldn't be one any more. The type of deck you are suggesting could be more powerful, but my deck is for casual edh, so it doesn't have to be the best. Thanks for the suggestions anyways!
@Ohms: I'll look into that. I had Balthor as my general once but replaced him with Korlash since Balthor doesn't really have much of a board presence, plus I had trouble filling up my graveyard enough creatures. Balthor also can help the opponent, but does lean more towards my favor since it will always help me and only sometimes help an opponent, unlike most mass reanimation which just brings back everything. Also, what is your opinion on Khabal Ghoul? I myself think he is awesome and would be a great addition to the deck.
As far as I know, the story of Coldsnap is described in a player's guide that was available in the fat pack. It's a short story told from Heidar's perspective.
Tezzeret is right, there is a story in the player's guide. I don't remember it that well, though, and my guide is back at home. It would be nice if someone wrote a summary of it since it was fairly interesting.
Well this seems fun, I am very interested! If you think about it, a bunch of people complained when the reserved list was being loosened, so now nothing from it can be reprinted. Because Wizards can't reprint vintage and legacy staples, they decided to make this new format which will cause less people to try to get into legacy and vintage. That means the people with the reserved cards that complained about them being reprinted have made it so even LESS people will play in their formats. Do you see the irony?
Of course I don't want to get Satori into trouble! Who do you think I am?! I am just unaware of the full extent of copyright laws. At some point the line is drawn at personal use, which doesn't include posting it on a website, but what is the line where the extent of personal use is drawn? Does personal use mean you are explicitly forbidden to show it to anyone else? Would limited distribution to several people via email be against the law? Anyways it doesn't really matter, that's way too much trouble to go to. It's an interesting manga and I'm glad I got to read some of it, but it's not good enough to go to the extra trouble of trying to skirt the copyright laws. The main reason I was interested in it was because it was magic related. So I guess that's that then.
This may be a dumb question but can you translate it, post it on some other site, and then link us there? That would probably still be against the rules, or would it? Man, I don't see why wotc is stopping you, they are only decreasing interest in the manga by doing this. I mean, you can read Naruto and Bleach for free at a million different sites and Shonen Jump doesn't seem to mind, so why is wotc stopping us from reading a relatively obscure manga that will probably never be released in english? I mean come on! This is really annoying.
It was a pretty good movie. The Magic the Gathering reference was small btw, just two posters in the background of one scene.

@Tarscco: Tombstone Stairwell and Sword of Light and Shadow, I'll have to give those a try. Grave Defiler might work as well, especially if I decide to add Conspiracy. You are right about me needing a way to destroy enchantments, I think I will probably add Oblivion Stone. Pulse of the Dross is my only discard effect besides Liliana Vess so it can go and I can probably replace Spirit of the Night with something bigger.

I'm definitely getting the zombie one! The art looks awesome! I'll probably get the machine one too.
