creatures 21 4 Gravecrawler  4 Diregraf Ghoul  3 Shadow Alley Denizen  2 Highborn Ghoul  4 Geralf's Messenger  4 Diregraf Captain  spells 18 4 Tragic Slip  3 Rapid Hybridization  4 Sign in Blood  4 Dimir Charm  3 Spell Rupture  lands 21 9 swamp  s 4 drowned catacomb  4 watery grave  4 dimir guildgate  sideboard 15 2 Ultimate Price  2 victim of night  4 Negate  1 spell rupture  4 Vampire Nighthawk  2 sever the bloodline  I know that most of the decks here are BR, jund or BG zombies, but with the release of GTC I think UB zombies will have a good chance at winning, heres a list I came up with. Rapid Hybridization feels like it was almost made to interact with gravecrawler  or geralf's messenger  , just play it on the end of the enemies turn and make a 3/3 green creature that can get past knight of glory  for  . dimir charm  is just as good at dealing sweepers as boros charm  if they cast one just counter it, it can also be used as targeted removal for annoying walls like rhox faithmender  and if your doing bad just use it as a ponder  for your deck or the enemies. spell rapture  is the new mana leak  for this type of deck, as an aggro deck your going to have at least one creature on the field 90% of the time; I think that Shadow Alley Denizen is going to make this deck, her ability to make your guys unblockable when you summon another guy is going to be rediculous in an aggro deck.

Just curious and I might be silly, but why aristrocrat rather than Olivia for the same mana cost?
I get the haste and the indestructable with sacrifice, but I figure with BR that by the time you have 4 mana, it is time to take out his bigger creatures and you might be in it for a long haul. Olivia will either destroy them or control them without the sacrifice. Again, I might be noobish saying this.

@Fleshbits: Aristocrat has a better clock for Aggro, a more Control centered list would be better served with some Olivia. @DeckTesting54: I don't see much of a point in going Blue. If anything it slows you down, and this deck thrives on speed. @all: Here's a list I've been brewing up. Nothing in Gatecrash has really jumped out at me so far, but the list seems to at least test well VS the field. Land (24):
4 Blood Crypt
4 Dragonskull Summit
1 Cavern of Souls
2 Mountain
9 Swamp Creatures (28):
4 Gravecrawler
4 Diregraf Ghoul
3 Deathrite Shaman
3 Rakdos Shred-Freak
4 Geralf's Messenger
3 Falkenrath Aristocrat
4 Hellrider
1 Bloodline Keeper
2 Thundermaw Hellkite Spells (8):
4 Searing Spear
2 Brimstone Volley
2 Dreadbore Sideboard (15):
2 Pillar of Flame
3 Knight of Infamy
2 Dreadbore
4 Ultimate Price
2 Vampire Nighthawk
2 Sever the Bloodline

Here's a report of how my wife did running at a win-a-case tounrament. She finished 12th out of around 40 people. Wife's Report
Show
Round 1
Show
Naya Black Humans
Game 1: They started out strong into a turn 2 Silverblade but she just overwhelmed them with guys that even a Falkenrath couldn't out race (thanks in part to her own Falkenrath). Turn 5 they scooped.
Game 2: She mulls to 4 due to some mana hurting, eventually keeps double Cackler + 2 lands. By turn 5 a Knight of Infamy and a Hellrider had joined the fray and won her the round. She did learn what happens when you steal a Soulbound guy. You break the bond and they don't get to rebond until they play a new guy.
1-0
Round 2
Show
Esper Tokens
Game 1: They flooded, not much to say here. Ghost Council and Silverblade didn't get much done by themselves.
Game 2: Mulled to 4 due to no lands (she's running 24 in the deck so this SHOULDN'T be happening). Kept 1 land, 2 Gravecrawlers and Pillar. Drew no land all game, didn't matter what they did because the deck just didn't run.
Game 3: Deck got to work. Hellrider and Thundermaw get there.
2-0
Round 3
Show
Bant Control
Game 1: Great opener, but then only drew land. No gas = no go.
Game 2: Great hand, drew no land, stuck on 3 lands and 4 cmc cards in hand.
2-1
Round 4
Show
Esper Tokens
Game 1: They flooded, never saw a non-land permanent.
Game 2: Blind Obediance made Aristocrat, Hellrider and Hellkite sad. 5 minutes left in the round, she get's the win in the face of blinking Ghost Councils. She ended the game at 4 life.
3-1
Round 5
Show
Bant Control
Game 1: Lots of Azorius Charms which stole her tempo. Thragtusk thrashing to follow.
Game 2: Burn and Flying got there, Act of Treason from the board stole a Tusk and took care of that pesky +5 life buffer.
Game 3: Blind Obediance once more cramped her hasty style. Restoration Angel flashed in and reset a Silverblade and bonded with it. Doublestriking 3/4 flyers are kinda good.
3-2
Round 6
Show
Esper Tokens
Game 1: Little guys + Hellrider got there in the face of Ghost Council.
Game 2: She flooded, Ghost Council + tokens got there before she could gas up.
Game 3: More little guys + Hellrider gets the job done again.
4-2

Alright, since midrangey things seems to be overtaking the meta again, I wanted to try out something like this at the PTQ this weekend in philly: 4 x gravecrawler 4 x diregraf ghoul  2 x thrull parasite  3 x blood artist  3 x bloodthrone vampire  4 x knight of infamy  4 x geralf's messenger 4 x falkenrath aristocrat  3 x tragic slip  2 x victim of night 3 x mark of mutiny  1 x dreadbore  10 x swamp 4 x blood crypt  4 x dragonskull summit  1 x rakdos guildgate  3 x cavern of souls  1 x stensia bloodhall  Considering trying out a couple copies of skirsdag high priest instead of knight of infamy. Made room for a bloodhall in the landbase for added reach. Side is to be determined.Thoughts?

Does anyone else feel like mono black zombies can make a comeback with the release of Blood Scrivner  ? I do. I think a list with a ton of one drops, immortal servitude  and the Scrivner could be good. The only thing that is holding me back is the extreeme drop off in quality of sac outlets from Falkenrath Aristocrat  to Bloodthrone Vampire  ......
