Notes
 
[u]Basic Idea[u]
I stumbled upon the red Gempalm-creature and looked if there where other pauper legal ones. Gempalm Polluter quickly showed up, and I decided to go for a black pauper zombie deck.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other pauper decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

[u]Conclusions from the tests[/u]
The deck is fun to play, and getting Gempalm Polluter is quite easy. It surprised me how defensively the deck could be played. Shepherd of Rot deals damage to all players, but when using some of your zombies to deal damage or you get a Gempalm Polluter into your hand things can quickly get worse for your opponent. The problems start when playing against decks, that are aggressive, so that your own life will constantly be under your opponents life, so that Shepherd of Rot cannot be used any more.
