I'm pretty sure anyone who uses zombies has the same idea, reanimation. What else? I use buried alive to send them from my deck to the graveyard so I may revive them with ghoulcaller's chant. My main legion is made up of 3 mana zombies that empower eachother and offer a new ability, like lord undead bringing back one zombie a turn, cemetary reaper who creates new zombie tokens, and death baron who gives all other zombies deathtouch. But sense deathbaron's 10 dollars each, I decided to keep the only 2 I have. Besides, only one is needed to give deathtouch. So I decided to add in two phyrexian crusaders in as a battle zombie. He already has first strike. Combine that with deathtouch, neither can be touched. Plus he has protection from white and red, so no pacifisms or lightning bolts. But the best part is infect. With all the zombie empowerment he'll get, he's a one touch K.O. And who doesn't add Gravecrawler? Corpse Harvester acts as both a manaramp and zombie fetcher. And once I have enough mana, I bring out the high priest of my zombie army, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. In a deck based on zombie revival and empowerment, he just seemed to be a good choice. Plus he comes in handy when added to other cards in strategy. But that comes later. Finally is my zombie lord, Geth. He doesn't really do anything related to my undead army, but he can steal away any creature from my opponent's graveyard and pretty much add to it by milling their deck in the proccess.
For my spells, I cast Ghoulcaller's chant and buried alive for obvious reasons. Victimize will let me sacrifice a gravecrawler in exchage for two other zombies. And aslong as gravepact is in play, my a creature in the proccess. It's rare I do this, but I like to use gravecrawler and gravepact to erase my opponent's entire field. Along with that, I use killing wave to erase the field, especially when Mikaeus is out. Aslong as he's standing, Killing wave only makes my zombies stronger and takes out my opponent's field. I just loose afew life for Mikaeus. I'm not such a fan call to the grave, but Zombie Apacolypse gets me out of afew situations. And if you're wondering about the rupture spires, incase Gth steals a card with a good activated ability that requires non black mana, they are found to be very usefull. I might replace them though. I suppose I should make it more about reviving and sacrificing. If anyone has any ideas, go ahead and speak. But I'm keeping Geth. He's won more games for this deck than any other card.

Again if you go to add deck you can add this in a format where we can see it in a decklist format and comment on that page directly.
