Deadwalkers Strategy on Magic 2014

Essential Cards for Deadwalkers
Keep in mind, this deck is all about offense!

Gravecrawler - It can't block, but it's a cheap 2/1 that can be cast from the graveyard!

Bloodghast - Also can't block, but is a 2/1 that returns from the graveyard each time you place a land on the battefield.  It has haste if your opponent has less than 10 health.

Butcher Ghoul - Important in the early stages of the game because it has undying, and is therefore good on offense or defense, as it will return if it dies to defend another round.

Black Cat - Very important early and later on, as it forces your opponent to discard a card when it dies.  It counts as a zombie, and is only a 1/1 so it is easy to kill.

Lord of the Undead - Gives all Zombie creatures +1/+1, and can be tapped at a mana cost to return a zombie from the graveyard.

Geralf's Messenger - Vital to any strategy!  This card hits the board tapped, but deals 2 damage to your opponent when played.  It has undying, so when they do kill it, it comes back to life and deals 2 damage directly to your opponent another time!

Death Baron - Gives all zombie creatures +1/+1 and deathtouch.

Liliana's Reaver - Has deathtouch and places a 2/2 zombie on the board when it deals damage to your opponent; also causes them to discard a card when it deals damage to them.

Abattoir Ghoul - Has first strike, and will heal you when it kills a creature for the amount of toughness the creature had.  Minor HEALS!

Undead Warchief - Reduces zombie spell cost by 1 mana and gives all zombies +2/+1!

Endless Ranks of the Dead - Puts X 2/2 zombie tokens on the board, where X = 1/2 the number of zombies already on the board, rounded down.

Tendrils of Corruption - deals X damage to a creature and heals you for X, where X = the number of swamps you control.  HEALS!

Consuming Vapors - Forces your opponent to sacrifice a creature, and heals you equal to that creatures toughness.  Minor HEALS!

Veilborn Ghoul - Can't block, but is a 4/1 that returns to your hand each time you play a land.

Cruel Revival - Destroys a non Zombie creature and brings a Zombie back from your graveyard to your hand.

Grave Titan - costs 6, is a 6/6 and places 2 2/2 zombie tokens on the board when played and when it attacks.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed - Most important because it gives all of your other non-human creatures +1/+1 AND Undying.  Also kills any human that attacks you and gives intimidate.

Zombie Apocalypse - Returns all Zombie cards from your graveyard to the battlefeld and destroys all humans.

Corrupt - Same as Tendrils of Corruption, but can deal damage to players or creatures.  HEALS!

Grave Betrayal - When a creature you don't control dies, this card returns it to the battlefield as a zombie with +1/+1 under your control at the end step of the next turn. 

Rise of the Dark Realms - Returns all creatures from all graveyards to the battlefield under your control.
