So here's the second Thrax deck I've built for EDH, and this one's a lot more effective than its predecessor. The first build was built with a heavy sub-theme of land destruction, which was far less effective than I'd hoped (said issue was warned of heavily by posters here; to you all I hang my head in humility).
That said, I rebuilt, populating the creature base with nothing but zombies, and so far the result has been much better.

Here's the deck:

A few notes...

While most of the zombies in the deck have some ugly built-in abilities, there are some that are there simply as another body. While that's not always the wisest way to build, I run in a fairly creature-heavy environment, so having a heavy dose of creatures is vital.
The two equipment pieces in this deck (Quietus Spike, Nightmare Lash) are ridiculously fun to use. The Lash almost always ends up on Thrax, and ends games in a hurry. As far as the Spike - I pretty much wiped out 2 other players with it equipped on a Putrid Imp that, thanks to some handy removal spells, neither player could block.
Call to the Grave is simply stupid in this deck. Couple of turns, and the game turns one-sided in a hurry.

There's one at the door, at the gate to damnation...
Is it thief, thug or whore? There's one at the door...
And there's room for one more till the end of creation.
