Hi,
I was searching the boards for nothing particlary and I found an old Tread of the deck called ZAT. Here is the link to the thread:
http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3643
Anyway, the thread was quite old and I didn't want to Necro it. I kinda liked the idea of the deck and decided to test it. This was a very intresting deck, but I only liked game 1. After that I lost against all forms of graveyard hate.
Next to that I found a Vintage deck that used the same strategy as ZAT. It also used Bazaar of Baghdad. First thing I thought, I must remember this idea, until there isn't that much graveyard anyway, but a second later I thought, that will not happen unless they print a double sided colorless uncounterable indestructable free Leyline of the Void. And if that happens, well... this deck wouldn't work either.
After some testing I did this is the list I came up with
Lands
1 Swamp
2 Island
4 Underground Sea
2 Flooded Strand
4 Polluted Delta
4 Cephalid Coliseum
Creatures
4 Squee Goblin Nabob
1 Wonder
1 Psychatog
4 Dark Confidant
Other
4 Careful Study
4 Brainstorm
4 Zombie Infestation
3 Ideas Unbound
4 Smother
1 Sickening Dreams
3 Cabal Therapy
3 Spell Snare
4 Force of Will
3 Intuition
Sideboard
1 Wonder
3 Pithing Needle
4 Chain of Vapor
4 Chalice of the Void
The idea is simple, just play control in the first few turns and try to resolve a Zombie Infestation. After that just create a Zombie Mob and run over your opponent.
I added Intuition to find three Squee Goblin Nabob's and dropped the Krovikan Horror. I'm not sure this is the right way to go.
Otherwise you can go -3 Intuition, -1 Brainstorm, +4 Krovikan Horror.
I added Dark Confidant to have some draw, without using the graveyard. Dropped Psychatog to 1, because you only need one to win.
I'm considering some cards still:
Compulsion: with Squee it's card draw, but it's quite expensive
Magus of the Bazaar: The closest thing to Bazaar of Baghdad. The problem is it can't beat and is very fragile and doesn't got haste.
Anyway tell me what you think.
