Mono-black tribal zombie EDH. The general idea is to overwhelm your opponents with a horde of zombies, and control the board with strong removal and recursion. Also has a sacrifice/recursion sub-theme, and a second possible commander Lim-Dul the Necromancer.

Notable Combos:

Shriveling Rot + Wail of the Nim My personal favorite combo. Destroy all creatures you don't control and can deal heavy/lethal damage to opponents.

Attrition + Gravecrawler Super cheap removal provide you control at least one other zombie. Add in Grave Pact or Noxious Ghoul for additional free removal.

Gravecrawler + Malevolent Awakening Cheap repeatable recursion. Also works well with Ghoulcaller Gisa.

Ghoulcaller Gisa + Gravecrawler Makes 2 tokens without sacrificing a creature. Throw in a lord or two and it gets much better.

Carrion Feeder + Vengeful Dead Sacrifice a bunch of zombies for instant damage to each enemy.

Necromancer's Stockpile + Soul of Innistrad A repeatable card drawing and zombie token making engine. Also works with Lord of the Undead for cheaper, but only once an untap.

Grave Pact + Living Death After resolution, your opponents sacrifice a creature for each creature you had before casting Living Death.

Finaly, a big combo, Balthor the Defiled + Morality Shift and Carrion Feeder + Vengeful Dead Looks like a hard combo to pull off, but as long as none of the creature cards are in your graveyard, having just Morality Shift can instantly win games with the heavy amount of recursion in this deck, as it practically tutors the other pieces for you. Morality shift puts you library into your graveyard, Balthor brings your graveyard to play, then start sac-ing zombies to carrion feeder for instant damage to all opponents. (note, the combo is instant speed after morality shift, so wait until opponents CIP abilities are on the stack from Balthor and then start the sac-ing. Excluding split second cards, it can't be stopped).
