Too many 1 of's. Play test a couple times and take out those creatures that aren't helping or are just sitting in your hand

You can't build a consistent Standard deck with only one copy of so many cards.

To start with, I would remove:

3x Drunau Corpse Trawler
1x Gisa and Geralf
1x Laboratory Brute
3x Stitched Mangler
1x Wailing Ghoul
1x Contingency Plan

Try to add:

3x Cryptbreaker
2x Diregraf Colossus
3x Relentless Dead
2x Fetid Pools
2x Sunken Hollow

OR

4x Sunken Hollow if you have the cash

I would try to remove ALL the Sorceries and put in extra Fatal Push, Grasp of Darkness, and Turn Aside

Have a good look at this deck, as it's basically the best way to build Zombies at the moment, and should give you a few tips.

I'll agree with the other comments on trying to double up on helpful cards. I would think Liliana's Elite is gonna be helpful.

Any successful games? :)

ArgeauxI'm actually trying to take out the zendikar block stuff, since it'll rotate out soon anyway. The deck you linked is good but ultimately very different from mine, and im not going to change my deck into that one to match. But otherwise you did give good advise, Im going to cut down some of the 1 off cards and put in more of some others. I ended up spending more than I wanted to get another Fatal Push and some duplicates of other zombie cards to give the deck more consistency. Thanks for your help.

Nowhere did I tell you to make the deck I linked.

I said it would give you some tips on how to build Zombies.

2-2 = won 2 matches, lost 2 matches?

If so, what was the overall game breakdown?

Write it Wins-Losses-Draws

e.g. 6-2-0

Argy it was won 2 matches lost 2 matches. Game breakdown was game wins 5 games lost (0-2, 2-0, 0-2, and 2-1)

So 4-5-0 i guess

Seems solid.

Did better then I thought it might.

My zombie deck started with UB, now it's just Mono Black, and not budget. I would suggest Compelling Deterrence, Dark Salvation, and Haunted Dead. The Compelling Argument is way out of place, I'm under the impression that you will use it on yourself. But I would rather draw cards with Hieroglyphic Illumination in case you don't mill and creatures. Since you are already over $100 you might as well try not making it budget and go with more Relentless Dead and Grasp of Darkness.
