I was going to post this in Legacy Development but I don't think I'm allowed? Anyways I made this deck because I'm a black mage and I know in my heart the Zombies are better than Goblins. I am aware that this deck doesn't do that well against Goblins; that is not the purpose here.
Decklist: 4 Duress 4 Cabal Therapy
4 Sarcomancy 4 Carnophage 4 Crypt Keeper (\Yixlid Jailer) 4 Withered Wretch 2 Plaguebearer 4 Graveborn Muse 4 Undead Warchief
4 Dark Ritual 4 Peat Bog 18 Swamp
Sideboard: 3 Null Rod 4 Dystopia 4 Leyline of the Void 4 Engineered Plague
Card overview
Duress: Discard is one of blacks key success factors & Duress is probably the best discard card out there. Cabal Therapy: An excellent supplement to Duress. That allows you to sac a Graveborn Muse necessary. Sarcomancy: A 2/2 for 1 mana that has effectively no drawback in this deck. Carnophage: Not as good as Sarcomancy, but 2/2s for 1 still rock. Crypt Keeper: I imagine some of you will have to look it up. It's decent graveyard removal in a pinch & a solid 2/1 for 1b. Withered Wretch: Excellent Graveyard hate and a 2/2 for bb. Plaguebearer: Sucks he's only a 1/1 but has a really useful ability. Graveborn Muse: The cards this guy draws is just sick sick sick. He really just overpowers your opponent. Undead Warchief: I read that when R&D were testing the set he was a 0/0 for 1bb with the same abilities. How nice that would have been. Still crazy powerful though. Dark Ritual: Excellent acceleration. Really speeds up the deck. Peat Bog: Nice acceleration, speeds up casting the 4-mana bombs. Sideboard: Just a collection of cards that hose certain decks.
Yixlid Jailer: Did not make it in because it freezes Cabal Therapy when you need to sac your Graveborn Muse. Grave Defiler: Not as powerful as Graveborn muse. The deck has a lot of non-zombie cards. Rotting Giant: The best of the 3/3 zombies for 2. Could replace Crypt Keeper.
The deck looks standard enough but when you draw 5 off your Graveborn muse, duress & therapy away your opponents hand, drop 3 Zombies including a Undead Warchief, all in one turn, you might see some potential.
Let me know what you think! I play more T1 than legacy so I ready for criticism as well.
