Simple enough. Have the four cards out in play. Spawn a horde of zombies that die each turn to fuel your Vengeful Dead. They'll be dead in no time.

Maybe I'm confused, but how do they die every turn?

The Text for Tombstone Stairwell says sac the tokens at end of each turn.

No, they only die if stairwell leaves the battlefield!

With tombstone stairwell and endless ranks of the dead you can stack the triggers so that the gravespawn affect the Ranks! Synergy!

Actual wording:

At the beginning of each upkeep, if Tombstone Stairwell is on the battlefield, each player puts a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with haste named Tombspawn onto the battlefield for each creature card in his or her graveyard.

 At the beginning of each end step or when Tombstone Stairwell leaves the battlefield, destroy all tokens put onto the battlefield with Tombstone Stairwell. They can't be regenerated.
