Is it 1v1 or multiplayer?  The startgies and cards used are differant, for example curse of deaths hold is decent in 1v1, worthless in multiplayer.  some simple suggestions that help both

land based-cut down on the number of basic and try to get some duals at the very least you can cut down on the islands and add more swamps.  some specific land cards that are worth considering

  • volraths stronghold- another method to recur your creatures
  • urborg, tomb of yawgmoth- all lands are swamps
  • tolaria west -tutor for a land
  • cabal coffers - alot of black mana
There is alot of removal in EDH, your aura's will end up being a 2-1 exchange, I would replace them and some of your weaker zombies with other creatures, such as 

  • corpse harvester - tutor a swamp and creature
  • zombie master- all zombies get regen and swampwalk
  • Filth - not a zombie but gives everything you control swampwalk (see urborg above)
  • gemplam polluter - draw and hurt
  • gravespawn sovereignan - recur any creature
With all the sacrificing going on gravepact would be huge for you, though you might want to consider another method to generate creatures to sac, such as bitterblossum

though I have to ask is the blue really doing anything for you?  If the answer is not alot, consider going mono black , balther the defiled, mikaeus, the unhallowed, and korlash all provide solid options

I LIKE him very much. but Im looking towARD lower my blue mana for some other cards. the cycle of card from grave to hand is good for now, but need to be tweaked. thx again im try some of your suggestion and try it out

A few cards i use in my zombie edh that i notice are missing here are phyrexian etchings (major card advantage), endless ranks of the dead, dark ritual, unholy grotto, phyrexian cusader, zombie master (which is a zombie by rulings), sudden spoiling, death baron, grave defiler, Zombie Trailblazer, blanket of night,Cyclopean Giant, lake of the dead

What u remove is your choice. It will be best if you try these cards 1 at a time, make sure you remove something that seems to be lacking in the deck

all i did is take a peek at my zombie deck that no one really likes to play against

before you buy any cards, i suggest making a proxy and testing it

How about Lim-Dul, the Necromancer? He regenerates your dudes for 1B. Only other card I can think of os Grave Betrayal that may be useful.

Uborg makes all lands swamps in addition to their other types. ;) Just an FYI. Undead Warchief would wreck face in that deck. Also consider a Death Baron. All your skellies and zombies get +1/+1 and deathtouch.
