So this deck clearly relies on bringing zombies back, whether in play or to your hand, with the added bonus of infected zombies. This once had more creatures and grave retrieval than it does now, but it was mono black then. I added the blue for Grimgrin, Corpse-Born, and for Rooftop Storms.

But eventually most of the zombies will have infect. Either Grimgrin, or Phylactery Lich with Phyresis is a nice combo, as well as Grimgrin, and Gravecrawler. Just as Phylactery Lich and Darksteel Ingot.

Singing Bell Strike was more of an afterthought as a way to get around creatures until I could get mine out, and murder is nice too. The only thing that I have yet to figure out is how to get rooftop storms out either quicker, or cheaper. Because then the zombie horde will eat your opponents face off!
