The Complete Guide to Zombie Tribal in EDH 

Rewatching this in the Wilhelt era and I’m loving hearing you guys repeatedly talking about the Missing Zombie Commander 😂

Im literally watching 2 years later and you’ve gone from 5k to 90k. Now, thats impressive. Congrats guys!

BZ-“You want to know why all the graves are open though? Because Cryptbreaker keeps opening all the doors to the...what’s it called?” Me- “...crypts?” BZ- “ all the doors in the little thingies” Me- “crypts” BZ- “ mausoleum yea!” Me- “...”

I personally run Balthor the Defiled as the commander. Dont forget interesting cards like: - Grimoire of the Dead - Unbreathing Horde - Helldozer - Vengeful Pharaoh - Champion of the Perished - Tainted Adversary - Geralf's Messenger - Dictate of Erebos - Cover of Darkness

I would love to see this series come back. They are helpful and great to watch with plenty of tribes to choose from

You missed one of the most fun and powerful enchantment for a zombie deck: Tombstone Stairwell. You can attack with hasty zombies and massive etb and death triggers EACH turn.

10:00 The reason for Extort reminder text being ignored is because of a different card. Trinisphere has reminder text explaining how it works and it uses colored costs to demonstrate this, so to make the card fit in any decks color identity, the rule to ignore reminder text was added.

Minus the newer zombie cards that you could not cover; really great job covering nearly all of the better zombies when you covered it. I was impressed with it.

I’m a time traveler and you guys have grown alot since then! Congratulation. And thanks for the Zombie tips for a new planeswalker.

So I think they pretty much nailed the new zombie commander precon that was announced today…over a year ago.

Appreciate the Cranberries reference

"not to be nitpicky" channel name : nitpicking nerds

Yeah this video definitely needs a part 2 now after midnight hunt

I have watch so much mtg content sence covid lockdown. Just found your channel. Ty now I get to binge watch another great new to me channel.

Yo! Can we get an updated zombie tribal video with all the new zombie cards that came out? Would love to see that. Thanks!

Love this video, the new crimson vow zombie commander deck is a great one to get to get started on your zombie commander deck you get a decent deck that you can play right away and have fun, and you get a lot of cards that you’ll use in a really good zombie commander deck. Same with the spirits one. I’d recommend the zombie one for anyone that wants to just buy them and keep them sealed they’ll be worth 100-150 down the road, same with the spirits and probably vampires, new campenna they got better, and will keep getting better with this block.

Y’all hit 100000 subs in 2 years congratulations!!!🎉

You are now at 18.6k subs! You've grown 13,000 since this video! Very nice

You guys are seriously going to break my budget. I spent hour's editing my first noob deck and was sure it was strong and ready to go until I opened this video and now every card it's "I want that!" "Oh epic I wonder how much that costs" "oh that's such a great back up card in case the original plan goes wrong" the shopping list on TCG is just growing and growing. I'm having to reason with myself now for why a card won't work for me or I'd be fully broke I'm surprised you guys react so down to army of the damned. I really think it's OP even more so with a commander with flashback. You could have 13-26 2/2 on the table backed up by some bigger hitters and fliers. Possibly 3/3 with a support card. Even if they are small they would seem to wreck.

Honestly after MH and CV I would love if you guys redid this video. I’m making a dimir zombies rn and it would be super helpful, and would be an update on an old classic. Wilhelt really changed the game

I miss Disclaimer Guy. I've been toying with tossing together a Varina deck, and I love everything here, even after they made the zombie precon.

Nice video yet again, thx for the nice finds (totally didn't know about Zombie trailblazer). Do you guys rehearse your script or have a powerpoint handy to get through these long videos or do you have photographic memories xD

You missed one big big one, mikaeus the unhallowed. Btw when mass reviving zombies, grey merchant syphons hard. Also with mikaeus and ham sandwich after revival its a win, skinrender or plague belcher plus sac outlet plus a drainer; mik undying gets infinite with any minus counter etb zombie

Zombies are my favorite tribe. I play Gisa and Geralf and I'm debating on building Judith zombie sacrifice deck

Awesome video I have a zombie deck but Kalitas is the commander even though he isn’t a zombie so it’s more of a mono black good stuff deck with some zombie synergy 😁

Subbed! I know I'm late to the video but I'm building a zombie deck now, it was helpful!

Eyyyyy!!!! Thanks fellas! This is fantastic!

26:28 "Baahhhh, go have fun kids" -Yolo

Most of my Varina deck is present here. Deck is fun as hell and performs pretty well.

Love the video! also your title reads the complete guild to zombie tribal not guide?

Time traveler here. Wew, youve grown 10 times since this video is posted

You tribe your best and you succeed! Cryptbreaker is my favorite zombie creature 1/1 for 1.

What about narfi betrayer king as commander, simple tribal blue black. Full it up with tribal zombies & changeling and good blue card draw. Add in artifacts that also can be chosen to benefit zombies, or take it up a level an make morphon the boundless a zombie leader.

I appreciate the Cranberries reference at the beginning.

Can somebody please bit coin Beezy enough for a cheeseburger, dude is starving.

Great video

Another really great zombie, Rotlung Reanimator.

sweet zombies! i expect to see 4 variations of Extremely Slow Zombies :P

I'd like to know how many people got The Cranberries reference at the start of the video. Ghoulcaller Gisa is the best Zombie Commander Liliana Heretical Healer is great also.

There is a muse cycle, yes. White one taxes attackers (have to pay 2 for each creature attacking you), Blue one mills each player equal to the cards in their hand, Black one you went over, Red one bolts people with few cards in hand and the Green one untaps your stuff.

Annointed procession is one I'm running in my zombie deck, double creature token.

No deathbringer thoctar for a zombie commander deck? You have a bunch of zombies that give other zombies deathtouch which would synergies well with DBT making him op

so much knowledge. thank s you

At 30:17 when Beezy says "It goes infinite with Ham Sandwich plus Gravecrawler" what is Ham Sandwich referring to? Is it a MTG slang term or another name for a card or something?

On the Dread Summons card what does the X Represent, what number?

Need to amend the list with all the new Zombie cards from Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow....especially Necroduality

Just so you know guys you've grown 10k since this video

U got the spirit to create spirit tribe video? Its a 5 Color Excercise ;)

Havengul Lich is a STAR

Would Zombie Trailblazer make it so lands can only tap for black mana or tap for black mana in addition to what they could tap for before?

Y'all should retouch on this now since we just got through inastrad

Where is Grave Titan? He makes much Zombies

I have a Liliana Theme Zombie Tribal, it’s crazy!

I don’t think Zombie Trailblazer works the way you described, actually. It doesn’t turn the lands into basic swamps, it just gives them the type “Swamp” on top. Think Urborg, not Blood Moon. It does take away other basic land types though, so e.g. forests stop being able to tap for black.

This is coming pretty late, but relevant considering that a lot of people are building/editing zombies with the new precon/set. Don't take anyones opinion for fact. Make sure you do your own critical thinking. This video is a great intro to a lot of older zombie cards but say for instance these guys say endless ranks of the undead is such a great card but then put off army of the damned like it's so-so. But if you think about how long it would take you to get 13 zombies from ERotD, it would be at least one full turn from the moment you play it. And that's only if you have 26 zombies already in play. If you have 9 zombies out when you take your upkeep, thats only 4 zombies. (It rounds down) then youd have at least 13 zombie next upkeep as long as nothing happens to them and that will create you 6 more creating a total of 10 in this magical scenario spanning 3 turns. Now if you look at Armybof the damned, you play it and bam you have 13 zombies for 8 mana seems like a decent rate, quick and tonthe point. There when you need them. Oh whats this? You can play it again from your graveyard? So card advantage on top of that. I'd say in almost every case i'd drop ERotD and replace it with AotD.

You guys didn't mention soulless one */* zombie where * is equal to the number of all zombie in play and in all graveyards

Your descriptor says "Welcome to the ultmate Dragon tribal guide!" 2 things: Ultimate is misspelled and more obviously this is zombie video, not Dragons. Just a helpful FYI

Lord of the undead and fleshbag marauder is a repeatable combo.

There is a Muse cycle. Dreamborn, Lavaborn, Windborn, Seedborn, and Graveborn.

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is my zombie commander.

The Scarab God ;)

I have a LOT of words about Extort and how the current version of the rule is wrong, but it's a lot to write in a comment section and I've already done so elsewhere on a Magic video...

1:05 Omg was that a purposeful reference? I just noticed that, lol.

How could you guys leave our Thraximundar?!?! Also, Coat of Arms is all but required.

Currently build varina now

gempalm polluter ftw

not a zombie but great in most zombie decks is skirge familiar fills the grave and ramps you out

With their tanks and their bomb and their bombs and their guns... in your head they're still fighten.

I don't understand why you didn't include Liliana, Heretical Healer as a zombie commander. She is the only Liliana planeswalker that can be used as a commander because she has a legendary creature side.

thank god we got willhelt

Disclaimer Guy put the seed of doubt in my mind: which one isn't real, zombies or the Nitpicking Nerds???

No Call to the grave?

All of these "ancient" zombies were in my original zombie deck. Back when they were new

7000 in 5 months. Not too shabby.

80.2k subs 2 years later 🤌🏻

Even back then, not a single mention of grave titan

Wilhelt has arrived.

I have a sidisi deck. Graveyard matter deck... bring back every thing... zombie tribal of course and dont forget to play Sultai cards... it's fun deck wont win all the time...not overpowered but can win... best cheap fun card in the deck is... haha name it if u know it...

He said queen!!!

Helldozer… that is all.😈

5642 subs? I'm traveling forward in time 100k+ subs....💀

What about grimgrinhe has blue

When's the Homarid episode?

ZOMBIES !!! FUCK YEAH !!! Thanks guys !!!

Mono black ghoulcaller gisa is zombie tribal

Come on what about tormod the desecrator & shadowcat

Surprise there was no Necromancers Stockpile. such a good filiter card, an you get more zombies for you zombies!!

Complete guild?

It should have been undead warchief, lord of the undead, death baron, relentless dead, and endless ranks of the dead as the main

Why no patriarchs bidding?

No love for thraximundar

Soulless one?

3:19 they where both wrong, he said "lich qweing"

Time traveller: 5k to 17k in 9 months gg 😬

again not first! yeehaa, im on fire!

What's in your head?

Gary

zombies are a slow tribal,i like them but are better elves or goblins

Update the guide, love zombies! www.moxfield.com/decks/LQxKb7CYREC5qt0jp1rPgg
