After making some minor adjustments to Sygg's army of the undead, I ran it through the analyzer at deckstats.net. With a commander deck, those tools are just incredibly useful for getting a snapshot of what's going on.
The data, coupled with a weekend of perpetual goldfishing, lined up: I didn't have enough black mana in the deck, and I could use some better answers.
These changes, including the addition of Phyrexian Delver and Leechridden Swamp, gave me another problem, though: the deck came well over $50. I'm not going to argue over $0.31 but the issue is that if the deck is $51 and I'm thinking, 'well, that's OK because...' then where do I draw the line?
So what do I do? I look at the analysis and see what's expensive that can be cut. It didn't take long for me to conclude that Door of Destinies should go.
Yes, it's amazing and yes, with a deck like zombies that has some light recursion, the possibilities for DoD get crazy.
It's also a $5 card and removing it for Capsize, a $0.20 means I can increase the answers in my deck while also easily staying under the $50 target.
