The missing card in the list is Morning Star, a level 1 war weapon, that I have as a promo, but was released in FiF.
The plan is basically get some zombie on the field using the graveyard and casting them, then strap a Zombie frenzy onto a Mage Wand and make them dance, like in Michael Jackson's thriller. The 3 zombie frenzy and 2 wands are all in there in case the first wand and frenzy get destroyed, I have a back up. And if That second gets destroyed, I have one more frenzy to use.
The maim wings are in there because I have no way of dealing with fliers.
Chain lightning i just love it as a spell.
Ring of fire and repulse are in there as a "when the S*** hits the fan" strategy.
Wand of Healing because I have no way to remove conditions.
Explode is there because i just think it's awesome. Deals damage, burns, and destroys armor.
Poison blood is to shut down regeneration.
Plague zombie combos with Sacrificial Alter and Graveyard.
Drawbacks from the 2 games I played so far. I always felt like I never had enough mana to do anything. I'm not sure if i should add Moonglow Amulet, or Meditation Amulet, or if a flower/crystal or 2 is the way to go.
I learned that you don't put the graveyard in the corner, because if your opponent scurries across the board, they can easily drop 15-16 mana and completely wall off your graveyard.
any suggestions / comments from some more experienced necro players.
