Historic - Zombieflux Reservoir

This is my submission for Day9's What the Deck with Zombies vs. Vampires.

Summary:

This is a Zombie deck that includes some nice zombie-related shenanigans, mostly with Mystic Reflectionimage.

Josu Vess can create 8 vanilla 2/2 zombie tokens. But that's boring. Why not make 8 Wayward Servantimages (all entering the battlefield at the same time, while you have another one out) for 64 life and 64 damage (of course, all in separate triggers, to really rub it in)?

Alternatively, 8 Anointer Priestimages can be great since they'll all be tokens. Preferrably the back side, since then it's still on theme with zombies in general (I mean this both in synergy and in flavor).

Also, Aetherflux Reservoir is in here, for two reasons:
1 - The shenanigans might end up being "Gain 72 life" which doesn't do anything on its own.
2 - The deck is full of cheap draw engines that cost life per draw.

In an earlier approach to the theme, I was going to try to combine Awaken the Erstwhileimage with Emergency Powersimage as the main theme, but it just didn't really line up in a fun and/or reasonably-worthwhile way that kept to being zombie-themed (the one idea I had was vampire themed, and that seemed wrong with Awaken being a Zombie card). So, instead of focusing on them, I just put in one of each because they're really funny together, and either one seems like it'd be at least OK on its own in this deck.

As just a normal deck

It's basically a Zombie tribal deck, with... well, mostly zombies.

The strictly tribal effects are on Cryptbreakerimage, Undead Augurimage, and Wayward Servantimage.

Everything makes zombies, is zombies, kills things, and/or has already been mentioned above, except for Ruthless Knaveimage. Well, I suppose it kills your own things, but what I feel I should explain is, it's there for the possibility of ramping into Josu Vess, as well as to help fix mana for the 4 blue mana cost symbols and 9 white mana cost symbols in the deck. It's also useful from time to time to have a sacrifice outlet in general.

Oh I suppose the lands don't do any of that, but the only interesting thing in there is the Kicker land which is for Josu since he's so damn expensive to kick.
