Hello World's The Jumping Dead
Record: 5-2
Notes: I totally underestimated this deck. I saw the floorboards, the broken concentrations, the glimmer and bones and thought it was jank. And maybe it is? I kinda hate seeing any of those cards in my hand. It's not aggro, there are no buffs to grow your Zombies, no means of evasion. I lost the first two matches and thought I'd never win any. But then it came together, and it was some kind of beautiful organic system. The token swarms flourished. Baby Jace flipped and recycled removal to save me. I used the madness casting on those counterspells that nobody in the history of the world has ever used. I know there was luck involved, and I probably haven't faced some of the deck's hardest matchups, but I've had a damn good time playing it.
MVP: Cryptbreaker. They pull so much weight here; something about the pacing of this deck is just perfect for them.
Ditch: okay, I'm still not totally sold on glimmer of genius or read the bones. I could be happy with them being Graf Harvests.

Game logs


Final verdict:
My votes go to Hello World's The Jumping Dead and my Churn Undead. They're successful, they'll get you to 40 and keep you there, but more than that they're the ones I most enjoy playing. Modulo's was in the running too, before that last one surprised me.
I also don't know that anyone totally nailed the Orzhov aggro deck here, which I think would be best as a hybrid between WW's and Elk's builds, something like:

Zombie Aggro Hybrid

Congrats Elk! I didn't get around to testing, it's always great to read all the testing logs and stories. When I am feeling like some zombies I will come back to this thread and dig up some builds.

Good job to all the testing everyone especially Barney, Flakey, and Nomad.

Congratz to Elk, winner of this round with his orzhov zombie deck, with a Throne as personal touch. We will send you Lili at home as promised within 8 working days, dealing with Bolas atm...

Wish I saw this while the poll was open. My deck that Barney based his off was partially a flavour build (eeevil mono black necromancer with full zombie tribalism).
I could've put something a little more competitive forward- namely Orzhov with its better 2-drops and some vehicles (terrible for flavour though).

Oh boy Elk is not going to be happy with me. I was on a 15-0 winning streak with his zombie deck when I ran into Espère Control and lost twice in a row to it. *rrrriiiiippppp!!!* The deck retires 15-2

Woodland, your deck is still alive and well, currently on a 9-0 winning streak

Ah nuts 11-1 now, losing to mono black zombies. Better not lose again

Lol oh no!!! Ran up against Boros auras and got slammed by Gisela with cartouche. Tons of first strike vigilant guys too and I've got an army of zombies with nowhere to go. 11-2, I lost both my Zombie decks tonight!! Disaster. Stupid -1/-1 counters quest!! The bane of my existence

No more zombies for Barney :(
