The idea is to live long enough so that you can bring back your whole army at once and win the game.

Tons of board wipes, tons of tricks....

Overloaded blue is so I can get my commander out.

Early Game: Ramp if you can and sacrifice things to get them into your grave yard. Use fetchers for board wipes and get demonic collusion if possible. Skull clamp + sacrifice for the win.

Mid Game: Wipe the board more and try for commander damage if possible. Tutor for zombies that buff zombies and wipe the board more. Use Sudden Spoiling to turn off deadly abilities like Annihilator 2, Deathtouch and Lifelink.

Late Game: Use Army or Rise of the Dark Realms and profit, wipe board with Mikeas out and profit. Use gateway to phyrexia to kill annoying artifacts.

Winning:

1. Mana ramp, wait for it.... Exsanguinate!
2. Wipe, Wipe, Wipe, Rise of the Dark Realms
3. Sac crappy zombies and kill with commander using removal to clear a path
4. Use Chainer to take over something awesome in a graveyard and smite your foes

Themes:

Zombies buff other zombies (tribal thing)

Adaptive Automaton, Cemetery Reaper, Death Baron, Diregraf Captain, Lord of the Undead, Mikaeus, the unhallowed, Undead Warchief

Zombies come back from the dead

Balthor the Defiled, Infernal Caretaker, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Vengeful Pharaoh, Zombie Apocalypse, Grim Harvest, Rise of the Dark Realms, Unholy Grotto, Call to the Grave

Wipe the Board, Zombies like the graveyard

Black Sun's Zenith, Mutilate, Pestilence, Oblivion Stone, Nevinyrral's Disk, Zombie Apocalypse, Cyclonic Rift

Mana Ramp

Rooftop Storm, Sol Ring, Gauntlet of Power, Chromatic Lantern, Caged Sun, Cabal Coffers, Culling the Weak

Card Draw (yo dawg, I heard you like cards)

Gempalm Polluter, Sygg, River Cutthroat, Necropotence, Sword of Fire and Ice, Skullclamp + Grimgrin

Fetching (hey i just met you, and this is crazy... but here's the card you need right now, so play it maybe?)

Demonic Collusion (how does this exist... this card is crazy), Demonic Tutor, Increasing Ambition, Diabolic Tutor, Insidious Dreams, Corpse Harvester

Dirty Tricks

Chainer, Dementia Master - give me a break, this is OP, Fallen Ideal - if you have an army of tapped zombies out you can sac them to buff the one that got through... just sayin., Sorin Markov - one good way to take a life total from 40 to 10 with 5 mana, Tragic Slip - OMGWTFBBQ... peace out indestructible creature, Sudden Spoiling - TIL, sudden spoiling exists, Homeward Path - this is the best card ever... have you ever played against someone with Memnarch, Olivia, Act of Treason, Grab the reins, Knowledge Exploitation, Volition Reins etc etc? Any of those and you'll be putting this in your deck from now until the end of time...

More Zombies (because moar...)

Grave Titan, Liliana's Reaver, Endless Ranks of the Dead, Army of the Damned, Rise of the Dark Realms

I could go on but I'm sure you'll have your own twist on this deck if you play it.

Final thoughts: This deck is better in large games and strongest in mid-late game. Be careful against early game zerg and enchantment heavy decks because there's no EFFIN way to get rid of them with black.
