I'm really new to Matgic and i really want to make a vampire/werewolf/zombie deck. i love all three of these i want to figure out a way to make it work, and work well any suggestions? standard would be preferred but extended works as well :)
Yeah. All three of those tribes (groups of creatures that share a creature type) are best played by themselves, since they each have spells that benefit themselves.
Werewolves have Immerwolf , Moonmist , card:Full Moon's Rise, etc.
Vampires have Stromkirk Captain , Vampire Nocturnus , Bloodline Keeper Flip , etc.
Zombies have Diregraf Captain , Gravecrawler , Unbreathing Horde , etc.
I think choosing just one of the tribes and focusing on that is best. Trying to mix even two would really be stretching the deck thin.

The innistrad tribes were designed to play in decks based around a single tribe. Sadly a deck using three of these tribes is doomed to fail. Though it would be Elite Inquisitor 's dream come true. I play humans which are probably the most varied of the tribes in standard right now. You should pick your favorite of your three tribes and build around that. I reccomend either zombies or vampires as werewolves tend to be inconsistent. Vampires are cheaper in general and still quite good. I would reccomend downloading Cockatrice to test your deck against other players before building it. But first you should build it on here and get some input on it. At least that's my opinion.

thanks for the suggestions guys. I think i might go for a vampire deck b/c i like them the best. I see a lot of them on here and it seems they all have the exact same creatures. gets kinda repetitive but if it gets the job done i guess that's good for it? i have a few Sorin, Lord of Innistrad i would love to use but the white needed to summon makes it a bit difficult.

Just go Black/Red (Rakdos) because Sorin is mainly for token decks. Look up some deck lists on this site and then make your own. That is what I would do at least.

Well getting all three might be rough for a few reasons.
Werewolves are Red or Green. Vampires are Red or Black. And Zombies are Blue or Black. So R/B is your easiest shot at getting them all together, with the potential to swing and splash Blue or Green depending on what you want the deck to do exactly.
The other issue is that those tribes tend to work best when concentrated. Gravecrawler is a great creature, but he's not nearly as good if you've only got vampires and werewolves on the board. Werewolves have their whole flipping mechanic, which doesn't hurt tribes by default but it's nice to plan whole strategies around it.
That's not to say that it's impossible, but certainly worth considering.
