The horde is coming from the ground to pound your life away!

Dauthi Ghoul and Highborn Ghoul are both early and late game hits. Stromgald Crusader is nice ward against white has a pumping power and flight ability if needed. All ten of these zombies are here for the 2 drop.

Now the 3 drop zombies, also ten of them, are here to buff and keep my zombies on the table. Lord of the Undead the +1/+1 is nice but it's there for it's ability to return zombies to my hand from the graveyard. Death Baron for another +1/+1 and now I have deathtouch! The last zombie is Unbreathing Horde. He is there for a nice blocker or heavy hitter too.

The leader of the pack is Undead Warchief with his +2/+1 buff and making zombies cost 1 less to play.

For removal I have Doom Blade and Murder for those pesky black creatures. I'm generally on the offensive but having that removal is clutch.

Buried Alive and Unearth just go together like bread and butter. I can put zombies right into my graveyard and pull them onto the battlefield or into my hand with the Lord of the Undead

Some potential ramp comes from Cabal Coffers and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Making the wildcard spell Army of the Damned easy to cast and your opponent sigh when 13 2/2 zombie tokens with who knows what buffs onto the battlefield. Tapped, sure, but next turn they coming to pound for the kill.
