on a casual scale

In casual, BU zombies is the shizz. DAT Undead Alchemist .
/troll (seriously though, I'm a big fan of that card, it was my first true deck)
But on a serious note, we can't help without a deck list or two. I can tell you that in my opinion, populate isn't that great, but I was also never a fan of it, so I'm biased. Also, according to the magic color quiz, I'm BR, so that's also a bias, probably.
To sum up, deck lists would be the best help.

G/W Populate can be powerful, if built correctly. That said, it also usually wants to draw out the game abit, depending on how the deck has been built.
I don't have a lot of experience with B/R Zombies, but it sounds like it would be an aggro-ish deck, so it could knock down G/W Populate before it gets going.
As everyone else has said, it depends on how the decks look.

As many people have said before it really depends on the decks. Since casual encompasses so many cards and different play groups have different levels of competitiveness. However, if the Populate deck could do something to keep the Zombie deck from getting a huge horde before the fourth turn I feel that the Populate deck has a good chance.
TL:DR - If the Populate deck has a few control elements it probably stands a chance.

if the populate deck is doing stuff like t1 Experiment One into Call of the Conclave followed by more similar stuff with maybe a trostani then I think even an aggressive zombie deck will have problems since most zombies don't compare well against 3/3 centaurs or pure value token makers.

Thanks for the feedback, I would upload a deck for critics but I dont have one yet. A buddy asked me to build one for that match up. Do any of you have any decks to refer me to that has a similar strategy with G/W populate Token kind of deck.

I have a GW token deck but it isn't populate. I haven't really seen any populate decks on here. You can always check the hubs, I'm not sure if GW tokens is its own hub or if you would need to just check the token hub and look for GW decks.
If you aren't married to the populate theme and want to look at other ways to build GW tokens then here is mine Crusaders of the Lost Tokens.

The Q&A handles rules questions. Moved to Deck Help.
We really can't tell you much unless we know what the decks are like. Just giving us the theme is not enough, especially in casual, where the deck composition could be anything.
