Subject: Dark Suspicions/Zombie Infestation Combo -Zach Henze!
dark suspicions/
zombie infestation
combo
 
so i was looking thru the dollar binder at the store and i saw this card, dark suspicions:
planeshift Rare
2 black 2 colorless
 At the beginning of your opponents upkeep they lose one life for each card in their hand more than you have in yours.
 
I thought to myself, not a bad card so i pulled four, but then i saw part two of this combo,
 
zombie  infestation:
odyssey Uncommon
1 black 1 colorless
Discard 2 cards from your hand, put a 2/2 zombie token into play.
 
   And so 8 dollars later i had a kool deck strategy.basically you pump out a lot of 2/2 zombies and keep a minimal hand size while your opponent is taking 6 damage on your turn and 4 at the beginning of theirs. Its a fun combo but then i got to thinking about how they could get out of the clamp and also how it might be a bit slow, so i took into consideration suicide black, Burn decks and other relatively fast deck strategies, and here is the final deck in it's entirety. I hope u like it!
 
Land:
23 swamp
 
Creatures:
3 hypnotic specters (abyssal  specter is slower but it works ok too if you dont have hypnotic)
2 Gempalm Poluter
 
Instants/ Sorceries
2 funeral charm
4 duress
3 hymn to tourach
 
Enchantments/ artifacts
4 The rack
3 Ensnaring Bridge
3 Portcullis
4 Zombie Infestation
4 Dark Suspicions
3 Megrim
2 Larceny
 
sideboard:
2 funeral charm
2 mind peel
2 Gempalm Polluter
1 megrim
1 hymn to tourach
1 hypnotic specter
3 Iron Maiden
3 Wheel of Torture
