Well, there you go gentlemen. I call the deck Death Touch for its dual meaning. Literally, the deck could just kill you, lol. Metaphorically, it could describe that the deck has a way of turning all your creatures into zombies, and then either killing them all (sac a Corpse Collector), neutralize them all (Emperor's Crown, also nice with even their nonzombies with Chaos Orb out) or better yet take control of them all! (Dark Union, the effect) Well, that's the theme.

As far as deck efficiency, I chose to go with Grimus since he's the evilest looking thing ever. As I fan out my deck, looks pretty spooky to me. But more than thought, the premise of the deck is evil...take a nasty control lock of their game by neutralizing, killing, or taking control of all their creatures. Not to mention, you can even make it hurt for them to draw cards during their draw phase...curses, baby, curses!

Looking at the deck, I playing some cards that I normally wouldn't and vice versa didn't include some cards that I would normally for consistency in theme. For example, this being primarily a control deck, I'd play Peace Time, but...

I like the way the deck works. It has a lot of interesting synnergy and card interaction, and sometimes it can be just downright mean. It certainly picks on any other undead decks, but it has the measures to combat most anything.

Some of my favorite mini comboes:

Dark Union + their zombies- I gain control of any undead they have, especially all the ones I would give them from my Death's Embrace, Cranials, and Stench of Death.

Emperor's Crown + their zombies- If I don't control them, they can't hurt me anyway!

Emperor's Crown + Orb of Chaos- Even their normal creatures can't touch this, assuming they don't betray their master first o course!

War Priest + their zombies- kill them and heal...

Staff of Bone + Bindakoo- naturally efficient if I'm chump blocking and especially if I'm sacrificing my own tokens to...

Staff of Bone + Hydra- many tokens feed Hydra nicely, giving him many actions to attack, or, make more tokens of his own!

Wandering Cleric + sac creatures- use and abuse Cranial, Bat Zombie, and Sneaky

Crystal Ball + Staff of Bone- convert one jojo token for 2 cards in grip

Crystal Ball + curses- speed up the pain!

Well, I hope you guys enjoy this. Is this all I need to submit, or should I do something else? Either way, I feel like I've already won just b/c I had so much fun doing it. This was an awesome idea and awesome contest, and I'm glad you guys thought of this, whoever you are (Frank? others?). I look forward to seeing your guys' decks. Thanks!

Of course there is a hidden meaning behind behind almost all of the cards in this deck. There is a theme. Use my avataar as the clue. Don't get it? EVIL DEAD!

Bibliotheque=Necronomicon ("Bound in human flesh and inked in blood")
Lord Draqula=The Evil ( I can't really make the moaning nose in a typed medium, but "UHHHHHHHH!")
Vampires=Deadites ("JOIN US!")
Humans=Those seduced by the evil ("Kanda! Kanda!")
Succubus=Sheila. ("You found me beatiful once")
Zombie Lord=Bad Ash ("I...Live...Again...")

Of course Zombies and Skeletons are going to members of my "Army of Darkness", and getting them out and back is even better.

[Deleted]

Yay, Tk...I voted for your deck! Congrats! I truly liked your deck very much, plus I wasn't about to vote for my own deck. I'm willing to bet you wouldn't have won with Grimus though like you had before, lol.

Congrats again. Remember to spend it all in one place.

[Azurin Malkarie]

I still would have voted for him with the grimus, grimus is pretty darned spookie

[Thrall King]

Well, like I said before, I just put the G-man in because he looked evil. After you and Keith pointed it out, I saw how flawed it was, and saw the best alternative was Lord Draqula.
