The idea is to crank out the lord and have as much good stuff from the Lord's ETB-ability. Sacrificing creatures isn't that bad with a Grave Pact out or if it's an Arcbound creature with other Arcbound on the field. Giving them cards ain't so bad if there's a Kederekt Parasite or Mind's Eye on your side
Also I kept it very low budget. That wasn't a requirement, but a nice restriction The Ravager and Dreadnought are the only expensive cards in the deck, but they can be easily replaced. The 'nought was only because he's cool anyway
I'd reckon on a Mindslicer to almost entirely negate his ETB ability too, it negates the discard, the card draw and takes up one sacrifice - perfect.
(Not to mention frying every single answer they were holding - what more could you want?)
Anger, Filth and Wonder are good calls on the "sac fodder" front, good call.
The Zombie Lords also push him up into that almighty 11+ power for a two-hit finish.
Or just one if you're doubling it up ...
Seize the Day effects are hot too, though I'd probably only run that one 'cause the Lord is the only guy you care about swinging with, and flashback is tasty.
Also, good work - this guy's got to be the world's craziest general
Good idea's all, I put them all in Now go and build it!
Hmm...you missed the Mindwrack Liege too...Nice call on the general, this guy has loads of potential. If I actually build another EDH, this will probably be the one.
What about Dominus of Fealty as well? I hear free Threaten effects every turn also make good sac outlets.

That Liege I took out because I had no room Also the Dominus has a bit too restrictive cost I think. Could be awesome though. Nucky is cool, but there are too little things to fetch I think.
I have a Lord of Tresserhorn deck that I work on. When it comes together, it's awesome. Don't forget that he can regenerate!
I put in the Egg and Keiga, thanks! Tokens can really be a way to go, but there's just no room in this deck. But thanks for the advise! The Visions is also in, completely forgot that one
This might be the first time I've suggested this card, but Zombie Master (remember him?) might be the best zombie lord to have around with Lord of Tresserhorn. The additional Filth effect may be nice, and more important than +1/+1 if Urborg is in play.
Clout of the Dominus is haste and shroud for the general in a cheap (albeit card disadvantageous) package.
Nim Devourer seems really fun in here; he's a sac outlet and you run a decent amount of artifacts. Oh, and I just realized he's a zombie to boot!
Realized something while I was at work. You're in Grixis colours, why are you not running Cruel Ultimatum? I mean, that thing is like auto-include, ESPECIALLY in a large format like EDH. It's also a great return target with Nucklavee.
Also, 1 Zombie Warchief should be Undead Warchief. Zombie Warchief isn't an existing card >_>.

The Master is nice, but I don't think I'm running enough Zombies to warrent is. But it could be a replacement for the Warchief. Clout is a nice trinket, but I think Lightning Greaves are just better. The Devourer is a nice trick, I put it in!

Oooh, CU is in of course! And thanks for pointing out my typo!
Have you thought Mindless Automaton or Etched Oracle as draw engine with all those archbound +1/+1 counters? Also Xathrid Demon and Attrition could be good after you got good ol Tessie on board and have no better use for your sac guys.
If you're really looking at running reclaimation, I'd take a look at Strands of Night too.
You do have to sacrifice a swamp...but the creature also directly enters the battlefield. It's been a complete and total beating for me in a Teneb build I've been playing with.
If you're going to be playing with your graveyard, then Tortured Existence is like a Survival of the Fittest, but for the graveyard. it also has some nice synergy with the Incarnations like Anger and Wonderand Filth

Just a thought, if we used Ashnod's Transmogrant to tessie, we could use achbound counters to make him HUGE! Also Ashnod's Altar could prove useful. And for gravedigging phyrexian reclamation should be nice with all those yummy 40 life.
EDIT: this deck just looks awesome! have to get it build some how.
Hey, that's an idea. I think Liquimetal Coating and the new Equipment from Mirrodin Besieged can help as well.

I'm thinking quite a while about using that card. I'll give it a spin, thanks!

I tried the card many times, but it never really suited me. I didn't use it enough and it just felt...wrong...to use it.

What about Dominus of Fealty as well? I hear free Threaten effects every turn also make good sac outlets.
Nucklavee would also be good.
Steel Sabotage'ng Orbs of Mellowness since 2011.
I like playing a couple of token producers as well. Things like Seige Gang Commander and Skeletal Vampire. Both of these work well with Fallowed Footsteps and Soul Foundry. Goblin Bombardment can be used to sac stuff as well.
Draw effects can hurt with things like Spiteful Visions, and I see you already have Underworld Dreams.

The effect on Hissing Iguanar may be small, but it's something to think about, to go along with your Disciple.

The Cemetery is a good idea, I always overlook that card. The Iguanar was recently kicked out, but I agree he's nice.
