    Creatures: 20
    4x Black Cat
    4x Diregraf Captain
    3x Ghoulraiser
    4x Gravecrawler
    2x Havenguul Lich
    3x Undead Alchemist

    Enchantments: 2
    2x Endless Ranks of the Dead

    Instants: 14
    4x Altar's Reap
    3x Dissipate
    4x Tragic Slip
    3x Victim of Night

    Sorceries: 4
    4x Ghoulcaller's Chant

    Lands: 20
    4x Drowned Catacomb
    8x Swamp
    8x Island

    I just sort of sat down and composed this upon examining Blue/Black Zombies and the like for Innistrad Block, noting that a lot of the stuff I'd use from Scars Block (like Dismember and stuff) is going to cycle out.

    Shame, really, since Cemetary Reaper was such a nice card for them. </3

    Discuss how terrible my build is for taking ten minutes to make it.

    EDIT: Current problem is that places don't seem to have copies of Tragic Slip available. What the hell. qq

    The most legit reason to play Blue in Zombies is because of Phantasmal Image. 4 Diregraf Captain is serious overkill though. 3 is fine really. Undead Alchemist makes little sense because it basically forces you to play two different win conditions. Messes with your consistency too. Same with Havengul Lich. Zombies shouldn't run 5-drops. Especially when your 5-drop will only ever be resurrecting your 1-drops that can already revive themselves anyway.

    Obviously, I'm assuming this is IRL, so these are all ideal changes. So, this is what I'd aim for your build to be, but it's vaguely expensive.

    -1 Diregraf Captain
    -2 Havenguul Lich
    -3 Ghoulraiser
    -3 Undead Alchemist
    -4 Black Cat
    -4 Ghoulcaller's Chant
    -4 Island
    -4 Altar's Reap
    +3 Cavern of Souls
    +3 Geralf's Messenger
    +3 Liliana of the Veil
    +4 Diregraf Ghoul
    +4 Phantasmal Image
    +4 Swamp
    +4 Blood Artist
