Corpse Harvester x4
Quest For the Gravelord x3
Zombie Infestation x4
Songs of the Damned x4
Unearth x4
Zombify x4
Cemetary Reaper x4

i would suggest one sutured ghoul as an alternate win condition,
possibly nested ghouls to make zombie tokens,

and DEFINITELY call to the grave, AT LEAST 3 if you can, 4 is best.

Do you have that creature that says, sacrifice a zombie to destroy target creature?

first off lose the crypt you dont have enought creatures to really gain alot, replace it with cabal Coffers

replace songs of the damned with dregscape zombie, it forms a repeative card draw with lord of undead, nameless inversion works well with the lord as well

The problem with zombie infestion is that it takes two cards a turn to create a zombie, the best way to do that is repeatable usage of the same cards.  I would normally recommend oversold cementary however I think Squee will be better suited for you.  Maybe add a buried alive get two in your grave and then you can throw out a token each turn. not to mention find the graveborn to be reanimated

Infestation is a madness engine!

Undead Warchief would be great in this deck - reduces your costs as well as awesome pump!

Gempalm Polluter would be a great addition as you can cycle and reclaim them using the Lord of the Undead. Nameless Inversion is also great for this reason - repeated creature kill (or pump your own high toughness guys).

I don't think you need so much reanimation in the deck - assuming you get a Lord of the Undead out you can already replay most of your cards. Remember that in the current wording, they are themselves Zombies so one of them can grab any that already died.

However, you may want to swap out some of the reanimation to Rise from the Grave - get a creature from any 'yard AND make it a Zombie for all your buffs!

I agree with the Cabal Coffers idea - ideally you won't have many creatures in your 'yard, because the Lords will keep bringing them back to your hand. Same with the Songs of the Damned.

Zombie Infestation may work out nicely, but maybe drop the number of them in the deck to 2 or 3 - although you can discard some Zombies and fetch them back later with the Lords, it's still pretty slow and expensive mana wise.

One nasty trick you can add is Call to the Grave - pretty much all your creatures are Zombies anyway so it won't hurt you unless you have a Titan out (in which case you use Rise from the Grave next turn anyway :D)
