The complete Magic Core Set 2019 spoiler is already released and the Prerelease events will be on this coming weekend. For the Standard brewing part, I have mentioned in a previous blog post of the possible return of Zombies in the metagame, that which supported by this upcoming set. With the preview of the new Liliana planeswalker that is in theme with this tribe, we will be updating the build and probably suggest some mainboards.

We also found one notable Zombie card, Graveyard Marshal that is already a good two drop to fill in the deck and with its 3 power as a decent attacker. It works well with Liliana’s +1 ability, recycling or in a proper term, zombify your milled dudes.

This updated build is partially based on Andrea Mengucci’s article list at the Channel Fireball website. He added Ammit Eternal which I think is a fill for a huge critter that is non-Lord dependent. I would still stick with the Demon of Catastrophes though.

Here below is my updated version of the Zombies deck:

3 Demon of Catastrophes
4 Death Baron
4 Diregraf Ghoul
4 Dread Wanderer
4 Graveyard Marshal
4 Lord of the Accursed
4 Scrapheap Scrounger

1 Cast Down
3 Fatal Push
3 Liliana’s Mastery
3 Liliana, Untouched by Death

4 Ifnir Deadlands
2 Memorial to Folly
17 Swamp
