  2. Sac Gravecrawler to Phyrexian Altar to generate 1 black mana.

  4. Use the black mana generated from Phyrexian Altar to cast Gravecrawler from your graveyard provided you have another zombie creature card on the battlefield.
  5. Repeats step 2-4 as desired.

This looks similar to my old Jarad deck. A few things I found useful were Splinterfright to both fill the grave and act as ammunition for Jarad later on, Dryad Arbor and Green Sun's Zenith work well for either early ramp or to pull out another creature that fit the situation, Dakmor Salvage since it was dredge heavy and i only ran like 34 lands, and things like Boneyard Wurm that were cheap to play and were fling worthy if it got late in the game. Another fun combo is something along the lines of Blood Artist + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar if you wanna go a more death trigger oriented route
