Lyzolda leads my horde of Zombies. I do make it known I love creatures that either A. Are Zombies, or B. Get value. Most creatures in this deck do both, which is awesome.

No Sol Ring because it's in my other EDH deck. I have no intention of running any other mana rocks, since the deck's curve is so low anyway. I do need to get my hands on an Urborg and a Cabal Coffers, but so far the mana base has been fine.

So, it's like Br Zombies from Innistrad. Sweet.

Thoughts on an additional board wipe like Life's Finale or Blasphemous Act?

I feel like I currently have enough ways to wipe a board, especially when board wipes will tend to be bad for me too, since it's not like every creature is super resilient. The Dictate, Butcher and Noxious Ghoul should tend to be enough, especially since the latter is tutorable with Corpse Harvester. Also combat with this deck is going to virtually never be favourable for an opponent so it's rare a large-ish board will be a threat.

All that said, I'll definitely try Act at the very least if I get my hands on it, since it's generally going to be cheap. I dislike Life's Finale because it's so expensive, and the only cheaper wrath in B/R that's consistent and doesn't require RR is Damnation, which is rather expensive, money-wise.

Bloodghast if you ever get one.

There are better six-drops than what you have. Most notably, get your hands on Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. As well as just being value, if you're feeling obnoxious, it's also a combo with Murderous Redcap and a free sac outlet.

There aren't much better than Thoctar, Homura and Harvester, imo. I agree I need a Mike though, badly. When I get Mike/Bloodghast the first things to go will be Slavedriver/Abomination, probably.

I found this kind of Suicidal Decks love to add a lot of Pressure via Havoc Festival which also makes everyone's Clock Run faster and shuts down anoying LP Gaining users

idk I don't like the idea of a 6 mana enchantment that can in no way impact the board state. Also, and I know this isn't a good reason but I'm going with it anyway, it kinda shuts off Blood Artist (and Falkenrath Noble) which is my favourite creature ever, so I'd really rather not play it. It also means any Carnival of Souls combo involving Blood Artist and Gravecrawler is no longer actually infinite.
