The birthday wish is for B/U zombies. The plan is not to make the best deck, but the best deck possible that is black, blue, and full of zombies. If there is no way of dealing with Rest in Peace , then that's fine: It will be a limitation of the design constraint.
Most people only run 2x Rest in Peace in their sideboard. Assuming a six-turn game, there is only a 1/3 chance of drawing one.
After more play testing, I've come to the conclusion that Killing Wave is awesome.
I think it is good sometimes. Too often people will sac all of their critters except for the important ones. It is, however, almost always incredibly awesome with Blood Artist , as you've surely noticed.

I just want to thank everyone who helped out with this project. My daughter was very excited and it's a fun, casual deck, and when it works it's a blast. Here she is beating dad's Izzet deck:
[rant] Just splash white. The color of cheap and effective planeswalker removal, creature removal, enchantment removal, artifact removal, graveyard removal and the color of flying, lifelink, indestructible creatures, first and double strike.[/rant]
Have you tried it at FNM yet? It honestly looks solid. I'd go at least 3-1 with this list at my meta.
I don't have 4x Watery Grave yet, but when I do I might (they are proxied). I have played it with 3x Dimir Guildgate and 1x Watery Grave in between games at FNM, and I'm 2-1 overall.
If and when my Bant aura deck falls prey to Glaring Spotlight , I may try it.
I don't think splashing white is a good idea, despite what it adds, because this deck wants to run with 22x lands and be very fast. Even with the many possible combinations of dual colored lands, I think mana fixing would be a problem.
I haven't even started thinking about a sideboard yet. I don't usually play black, but I'll have a look at the meta and see what is usually done. Sever the Bloodline seems like a given.
