Looking for a deck that’s cheap, fun, and packs a powerful, tribal punch? Well then shamble on down to your local game store, because have I got a deck for you: Pauper Zombies
Costing only $13 to build, Pauper Zombies offers a fun tribal strategy that approaches the metagame from a slightly different angle of other black and aggro decks. Zombies is resilient. While not the fastest deck (it is firmly in the midrange camp) it can recover from removal rather easily.
Zombies thrives in metagames rife with creature decks. It can take them out rather effectively while also establishing a board state where your Shepherds and Polluters will win the game in short order. If you’re looking for something different and something that is sure to get new cards every few years, you can look into Zombies. Let’s take a look!

3:52 wait if I used to decrease the life of an opponents creature but the original life of it is equal or less than 3 what happes?
Life is 0… so the creature is destroyed?
Sigh. Why beat a dead issue, Professor?
Horned Kavu next. Abuse that wonderful burning tree emissary, mog warmarshal, kelden marauders, and even blastoderm. Toss in bolt and rift bolt for removal and sweet delecious gruul kavu goodness
this reminds me so much of my Odyssey / Onslaught / time Spiral era zombie deck. Good memories 🙂 nice work
After watching enough of your pauper videos I think I am gonna try and build a pauper deck and go to some events! Thank you for your awesome content. Has really helped me along being so new to the game. You’re awesome!
Zombie deck costing $13 = flavour win.
What would you think about finding room for Aphetto’s Dredging & Pack’s Disdain?
I like this deck, as its very similar to a deck i posted up over a month ago. Its not the same, but very similar concepts.
Why does everyone run Carrion Feeder? You sacrifice all your creatures to make one big creature and then your opponent removes it and essentially did one for five… I might understand using it as a removal trick and sacrifice a creature that has been targeted to be destroyed but is that really worth a place in the deck? Especially being that you are running Shepherd of Rot and Gempalm Polluter you will want as many zombies on the battlefield as possible. Carrion Feeder kinda sucks is there anyone else who feels this way?
Is Chainer’s Edict legal in paper?
Pauper slivers? Please
Prof, unless I am mistaken but on the full deck list you have Chainer’s Edict well it is a nice card I cannot see when it was printed at common. I found this when I was going buy the deck.
Interesting includes, prof. In my build I play more agro cards like Carnophage, Sangrophage, and Dark Ritual. You can check out my build here: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/suicide-zombies-pauper/?cb=1521581761
13 dollar deck? Now this I can introduce to friends
I’ve been thinking about trying to get into pauper! I love zombies. Maybe I should build this.
I can say with proud that this is my brew prof. When i made a 5-0 in a mtgo league just a few weeks ago the deck went from 3 tix to 14ish. I´m very glad this called your atention…. there´s still a lot of ground to innovate in pauper. Greetings prof!
Another great video
Polluter spiked because of you prof 🙁
Why you no comment on Dominaria cards ;-;
I just spent $600 making Pauper Decks.. T_T
Rudy from alpha Investments made a good point about pauper is that people have thousands upon thousands of common cards put away in warehouses And and now all the sudden because of pauper people who have these cards can make a huge profit off cards that in the future will be worth anything and they can turn around and buy Liliana of the Veil or power nine cards from selling Commons who will not hold their value for an outrageous price
Ahh yes, the Professor effect. It probably was like 13 bucks this morning, but going on TCGplayer to check, the cheapest optimized cart I can find is 30.
Can someone explain pauper to me? And also professor please do deck techs for mtg arena the NDA drops soon and there’s going to be new sets meaning new META
I love seeing new zombie decks in any format. Go zombies!
For gray merchant it says $.16 x 2 = $.36 lol
This deck looks like it could be fun
empty the pits as an exception?
So, as someone who is a total noob to paper magic, supposing I did want to get this deck and join a pauper league or something, how would I go about it? I assume there isn’t anywhere you can buy the complete deck all in one place, so are you having to buy cards off eBay like one at a time? That seems…..time consuming and far more expensive than $13. Where exactly do people go to buy decklists like this for paper magic?
Really enjoying all the pauper content, Keep it up!
Also, just ordered this list online (From Canadian retailers) and it’s closer to about $30, but may be cheaper or easier if you’re able to find at your lgs!
No soulless one?
Not a single indead servant? I think it would be a great inclusion here.
This may be a noobly question but: Why not Lord of the Accursed?
Hey prof! Love all your videos especially since you’re the one who got me, who got my play group, into pauper 😀 do you think you’ll ever do gameplay videos of your pauper decks or pauper matches in general?
Got Pauper Elves, got Pauper Goblins and now Pauper Zombies. What will be the next tribe? 3 more to go for my Pauper Battle Box.

Can someone that knows tell me how to properly do random effects in Magic?
do you own a card store or you meant at a card store near you? I wish i had help from someone like you in my neiborhood store haha
Really sick deck!
I’m building this in paper. I wonder how white black zombies/token version of this will work.
I built a Shepherd of rot deck 15 years ago out of a box of commons for $11, I won’t pay a dime over that!
Hey prof check your price math. 0.15 x 3 = .45, not .60
