I miss the brief time I was able to play a competitive zombie tribal deck in standard.

[@michadomeracki5910]

I have a good zombie deck in the current Standard.

[@Thiseffinguyhere]

I miss my parents.

[@PDXurbia]

I miss the extended time where standard rotated out faster so I could stop playing zombie tribal decks in standard

[@Jalabhar_Xho]

There are a few ways to build a somewhat competitive deck in current standard, mostly in Dimir colors. Not Meta, but good enough to be fun

[@insomnyteq]

@@michadomeracki5910 good is relative, is it good on arena /mtgo or at the store vs the avg player / deck in a slightly more competitive environment than tabletop magic? might be, but vs the best players with the most tested and proven decks in the format, no, im sure it's not "good", or you would see it being played in events sucessfully, im sure its fun to play though. EDIT: and example is izzet Wizards or charbelcher in historic on arena. its good on the ladder, but vs real teir1/0 decks it falls short which is why they dont ever get played in events on arena or Mtgo with any regularity or sucess

[@baconsir1159]

Definitely surprised to see both Carrion Feeder and Gary fall off the list

[@bradcallahan3546]

And?

[@baconsir1159]

@@bradcallahan3546And nothing? I’m surprised. That’s it. Complete statement.

[@KuroiRenge]

I love that Liliana's answer to Emrakul taking your turn was... to just have your opponent pass because there was nothing to do. Zombies came in automatically, Liliana got popped by her own ultimate, and you can't touch emblems. There was basically nothing they could do to negatively impact the board with your opponent's own cards so... they just passed and eventually got overrun by the zombies. Also a lore win.

[@hitmangfx7162]

Seeing Liliana The Last Hope as a $4 card is really strange, compared to the Standard environment she was in. She was one of those cards that was good, but too pricy to really bother with. In practice, she got there with that ultimate quite a few times if the +1 effect could kill a few creatures. And Kalitas was a strange introduction to power creep for me (after a long hiatus). One of the first "wow, this thing does a lot!" experiences I had. I did end up buying a playset of him.

[@christopherb501]

Feed the algorithm ...to the zombies.

[@dannybun9332]

5 minute zombie crafts

[@InternetJonesey]

Huge respect to Nizz for putting as much effort as he does in his vids. It's so sad that he doesn't get the attention deserves. The fact that he puts out such good quality content on a regular basis when he also has to focus on his work as a teacher is actually insane. Love the spooky halloween intro as well. Thank you Nizzahon for all of the awesome work. Keep it up!

[@cax1175]

Actually Emrakul was our last hope since friendship killed Kozilek and Ulamog

[@wehpudicabok6598]

Thank you for mentioning how close Field of the Dead was to making the list. Before watching, I was sure it would be on it.

[@gawbe]

I am a Zombie tribal fanatic. And I want Murderous Riders in every deck since it was printed.

[@jasonferguson9052]

Brians! Oh wait brains!

[@dakotacunningham1387]

Grave crawler into knight of infamy into Gerald’s messenger is still one of my favorite openings

[@chapmanandchapmanproductio974]

0:23 oh, my God I love this intro!

[@the_names_rob]

The original zombie top 10 is the first video I saw of yours and Ive been watching ever since!

[@juliettemoss5048]

Initially!

[@mikki429]

Interesting how much adding token generators changed the list!

[@grantmcgregor2441]

My other half is doing an art history course. It was a surprise delight when suddenly your voice came on 😂

[@darthrevan4493]

Zombies to feed the algorithm

[@Psychonautical89]

I'm actually surprised to hear they're the sixth most common type, wow. I figured MAYBE top ten, for sure fifteen, but didn't think they had quite enough to be six wow!

[@muddlewait8844]

Great video as always.

[@adrianspiby9969]

Love your top 10s

[@derekv7781]

Great video! Commenting and sharing to boost. 🧟‍♂️

[@connormohs6046]

Surprised you didn’t do vampires, since they are significant to Ixalan and you did them last 3 or 4 years ago as well. Was there not significant enough changes to their list?

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

*Braaaaaaaaaaaaains!* Brains! Braaaaaiiiiins! Brains! Braaaains, brains braaains! Braaaaaiiins. Braaiinns "Braaiins Braiins Brrraaiins Brains (Braaaaiiinns Braaaiiins Braaaiins)" braaaiiins braiiins. Braaiins? I'd translate it to English, but not even I know what it said. So instead I'll just say I really do wanna see "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!

[@solidzaku2]

Even his hat is a Halloween reference. BOO!mer Sooner.

[@thebfunk5228]

Love haloween season in this channel, here's some love for the algorithm to see

[@henlohenlo689]

geralf's messenger i think is a good one not sure if it made the list. but it has 2 lives. then pair it and other zombies with soul foundry to really drive the deck's power into late game being hard to get rid of the zombies. and it's not legendary creature which is a perk because this means many copies in play feasible. it's strong enough i put it in my demon/phyrexian/zombie beat down deck. the demons are pretty insane like 6/6 flyers for 4 mana and the draw isn't so bad. etc. geralf's messanger made it even into my decks not zombi themed. like abyssal persecutor, you can't win the game when it is in play, but it is a 6/6 flyer for 4 mana and you can make opponent be negative hp and then sacrifice it and win the game. not so bad of a draw back. the power of the creature controls the board single handedly. etc.

[@TheThirdDaySH]

Perfect halloween episode lol.

[@robertinator3387]

Kard Cingdom your one stop shop for cardboard also happy spookytime everyone

[@collinbeal]

They're not the strongest zombie and enabler, but I'll be damned if Champion of the Perished and Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia together aren't fun as Hell. I love one drops that curve excellently into synergistic two-drops. In Standard right now, for me that's Hopeful Initiate and Botanical Brawler. I wish the removal wasn't so strong rn, because all I wanna do is smack face without playing red aggro.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

Please do a Top 10 Horrors!

[@thatonedudejake]

Carrion feeder fell off the list? No way, how could they do that to the greatest magic card ever. Time to start grinding zombies in modern and pauper to get our boy back on the list

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

Ah, yes, the Liliana from my Mummy deck. Good times.

[@joejaboy]

Don't forget Zombie Army tokens! Not that I think they've done all that much...

[@frickadillar]

Eeee gravecrawler ❤

[@DeDunking]

Watching full ads this time cause my boy is getting the YT shaft.

[@DragonAttack515]

All hail the algorithm

[@88_Mega]

in the future think about TOP 10 TOTAL SCORE

[@jediprotector216]

#7 is still viable for the list as a draftable card from Alchemy.

[@DragonAttack515]

All hail the Algorithm

[@n.m5253]

Isn't Stitchers supplier heavily played in Greasefang Pioneer? Did it get no points there?

[@jasonrustmann7535]

Just a genuine question. What would everyone's opinion be on what would be Blacks most iconic early creature? Like how red has Shivan dragon, and white has Serra's angel. What would be black's? And while I'm asking for opinions on this, what would be blue's?

[@bluedestiny2710]

I dont know if they're iconic... but as a kid, Sengir Vampire, Hypnotic Specter and Nightmare were cards i remembered very well For Blue, it was Mahamoti Djinn... although i think that was Arabian Nights rather than Core set And white was... Serra Angel... i... will let you try to imagine why an 8 year old me thinks so... 😅

[@RibusPQR]

If it wasn't so rare and expensive, Juzam Djinn would have made your list. 4 mana for a 5/5 was amazing, even with the downside.

[@baconsir1159]

Probably Hypnotic Specter. It’s also from Alpha, was very powerful back in the day, and has pretty iconic art

[@roydickel9183]

Back in the day turn 1 dark ritual into Hypnotic spectre was practically compulsory but Spectres haven't really had a lot of support so I'd go with Sengir Vampire it can go toe to toe with The others and had its own effect like Shivan had fire-breathing and Serra Vigilance

[@klauthwarthog9936]

I would say either Sengir Vampire or Lord of the Pit for black. The early blue creatures were... well... all bad, tbh.

[@douglasmccoy5414]

Does anyone besides me remember The Souless One

[@stigmaoftherose]

Zombies being the balck iconic color is great for the modern, super ambitious WOTC who claim black isn't evil it's just ambition. Defileing a corpse is also very one the nose for WOTC.

[@martinrosschou]

Did you ever make a top 10 list of highest card scoreres, no matter what type of card?

[@PKFat]

Poor Gary

[@aphios2]

Sad this is the last spooky top 10 for the year. 😢

[@SpitefulAZ]

Can someone list the cards in the intro please.

[@nikmidclayton5933]

Mono black devotion is the best standard deck ever. Fight me

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Rats vs Zombies, who wins?

[@jodymicheallee]

If you don't subscribe, he might have to get a real job

[@insomnyteq]

meh idk if i like adding cards that crete zombies as counted. gg either way

[@jsum33]

Are you scared of Jayhawks at this point?

[@soren1803]

[@kv2315]

You don´t like Commander do you?

[@manjoume5178]

as a zombie in the real world id love for wizards to stop printing cards with my "creature type" on them. disgusting

[@ihatethewind]

Nizzah im sorry but OU stand for Ohio university and OSU stands for THE Ohio State University. KZbin is obviously punishing you for supporting the wrong state :(

[@Bulhakas]

The Collective West should follow Russia's example and completely ban Halloween.
