Description

RB Zombies is an Aggro deck that can outpace many other Aggro decks and close quick enough against a control matchup on a consistant Turn 4 or 5.  

 

 

This deck, while aggro focused and having an amazing Curve is very reaction based as well utilizing Heartfireimage and Costly Plunderimage targetting many items of value from our deck in response to removals or exiles.  We can Target Dreadhorde Butcherimage to give us an extra large burst to close out a match quickly, or utilize him for larger board clearing if needed (Including Planeswalkers).  This makes sure that we will continue to have access to The Butcher in our graveyard for games that go long enough to fully utilize Eternal Taskmasterimage.  

Dreadhorde Butcherimage gives us an extension to the life of all of the spells in our deck very handily given our 7 Lords ( Judith, the Scourge Divaimage and Death Baronimage ) we are running that both allow him access to 2 Mana cost spells in Lightning Strikeimage, Heartfireimage and Costly Plunderimage and always having access to our Shockimage.

 

Grim Initiateimage is a great Turn 1 Drop for us and provides value throughout its life given the Amass ability.

Lazotep Reaverimage allows us the ability to go wide if needed and gives us more bodies on the board

Eternal Taskmasterimage This card has been good as a 2 of and allows our late game matchups to thrive when needed.

Midnight Reaperimage This card has been a great 2 of and is just there for a Body and Card Draw. (Oh that's right, he's a Zombie Too)

God-Eternal Bontuimage I've been testing this guy out in this deck, but He Hasn't found his own in it yet or is needed at all.

Blast Zoneimage This card allows us to take care of instances of Ixalan Binding and many other similar instances.  With the Ability of our deck being very reactionary as well as Aggro we tend to have open mana and can easily get this up to 4 Counters when needed.  I currently have this as a 2 of and have not ran into mana issues with it being as such, but I could see the use as only a 1 of.

 

Ideal Turn

Turn 1: Land, Grim Initiateimage

Turn 2: Land, Dreadhorde Butcherimage

Turn 3: Land, Judith, the Scourge Divaimage  or Death Baronimage

Turn 4: Literally anything here you've already won the game.

 

I have grinded this deck into Mythic, it is here to stay.

This deck for me was a bit too inconsistent for some reason. You have to have the exact pieces you described in place to make it work. It is fun as hell though!
