MTG Salvation

Well, if i were to use this general, I would definitely do zombie tribal as the theme. I mean, if anyone is going to do zombie tribal, he's the one to try it with. So I guess the question is, what do you want your deck to do? Black can go a couple ways as you mentioned but until you suggest something, it's kinda hard to make suggestions.

I would like the deck to go the way of discard the hand then take the discards as my own. All the while being able to keep the field clear.

So you want a reanimation deck, eh? Then I would try Chainer, Dementia Master as your general. Cause, unless I'm missing a legend, he's the only one that can reanimate any creature from any graveyard. Now for some suggestions.

You will definitely want to pick up a Myojin of Night's Reach because it's like a super mind twist against all your opponents. Take out Astrolab for Gauntlet of Power, cause usually one shot effects aren't that great in EDH unless your playing Maga or something similar, and besides, all mono color decks should run a gauntlet. Otherwise, I don't really know what to add. You pretty much have a good deck list, but maybe you could add some more reanimation like Reanimate and if you do choose Chainer, add Lightning Greaves and maybe Whispersilk Cloak to protect him.

I think I forgot to mention also that I needed help in trimming it, it's way over 100 cards right now.

Kriegpanzer, I like your suggestion and I'll see if I can pick up one of the Chainers'. But right now, I have to work with limited to what I've got in my binder, and unfortunately, that's not one of them.

Holy Cow! I didn't realize that you REALLY need some trimming, (I think 84 cards to be exact) so let me make some suggestions.

Cut these:

Deathgreeter
Pit Keeper
Keeper of the Dead
Dauthi Slayer
Order of the Ebon Hand
Knight of Stromgald
Black Knight
Child of Night
Severed Legion
Soot Imp
Lim-Dûl's High Guard
Wall of Bone
Temp of the Damned
Dauthi Jackal
Scavenger Drake
Marsh Flitter
Gloomdrifter
Vengeful Dead
Fleshwrither
Enemy of the Guildpact
Prowling Pangolin
Woebearer
Sengir Vampire
Purraj of Urborg
Void Maw
Xathrid Demon

Breeding Pit

Disentomb
Dirge of Dread
Rancid Earth
Rain of Tears
Incremental Blight
Sever Soul

Ghastly Demise
Dark Ritual
Horobi's Whisper

Executioner's Capsule
Liar's Pendulum
Dolmen Gate
Astrolabe
Quietus Spike
Ashnod's Altar
Gemstone Array
Minion Reflector

These are just the cards that stood out to me that you dont need, any further cutting is up to you I guess cause it really is up to personal preference. Good luck!

I'll give it a shot with the cut you recommended and let you know sometime by next week if I can get those other cards. Thanks for the help and any one elses recommendations is really welcome.

Decks been trimmed and update to the actual list I use now.

Looks powerful. Now you just need to remember to use your general's ability

Could use a Slaughter, and maybe an Altar of Shadows.

Also, do you have a Black Market? Could be really nice in this deck.

Already tried Altar, didnt work as well as I thought it would be. Slaughter I dont have. I do want to try Black Market, I think i have a few of them.

Latest deck list is up. Any new suggestions or shenanigans is appreciated to make this deck better.
