This deck is purely aggro. The point is to buff the zombies up as much as possible with things like Undead Warchief, Death Baron and Lord of the Undead.

Undead Warchief adds speed to other zombies like Diregraf Colossus and Fleshbag Marauder which makes it easier to have a domino effect with some of my combos. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth also combos well with Zombie Master to make all my zombies unblockable.

Another fun combo is Vault of Whispers, Dark Ritual, and Phylactery Lich; although rare it can be done on the first turn! Eldrazi Monument With Gravecrawler is phenomenal and is made better if I have Diregraf Colossus in play. Unbreathing Horde paired with any buffing zombie is also very nice, it essentially makes himself immortal so long as I have another buffing zombie keeping him alive.

Fleshbag Marauder with Gravecrawler work so well with each other. For 4 mana (5 if Gravecrawler isn't already in play) I get to keep both and get rid of an opponents creature, and if Diregraff Colossus is in play beforehand I'm also getting three tokens for playing this combo.

Average turn win: 4-6

Updates Add

This update kind of hurt me, I had to take out some of the stuff that's been in there from the start.

Took out 1 Endless Ranks of the Dead for 1 Graf Harvest Because I rarely if ever used Endless Ranks of the Dead. It was too slow for me. If I ever did use it I'd only get 2 tokens out of it before I killed my opponent (or died myself). With Graf Harvest I basically still get to play the numbers game but with less creatures. Menace is great with zombies because a lot of the time I have more creatures than my opponent and if I don't some will still slip past blockers.

Onto other replacements. I took out Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, a Swamp, 1 Cabal Coffers, and 1 Phyrexian Crusader. I took out Mikaeus, the Unhallowed Because he was slow to get out compared to other creatures. I don't like dead draws, He's a great card but 6 mana is too much for a creature in this deck.

I took out Cabal Coffers because I wasn't able to use it effectively often enough. I also run a fair amount of non-swamp lands so I'm not getting the most out of it. Sure it combos with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth but the chances of drawing both at the same time is too low for the fast games I'm playing with this deck.

I took out a Swamp because I feel like I've lowered the average CMC of the deck enough to not be set back by it too much. It seems to be working well without it.

The one that hurt the most taking out was Phyrexian Crusader He's won me so many stalemates against Platinum Emperion and things of that ilk. The only thing was he was dealing a different kind of damage so it was like starting over on my opponent's life with him. I'm still debating whether I should leave him out or take out Noxious Ghoul for him.
