Hi, I am a huge fan of playing tribes, for the longest I played Elves and Kithkin, but lately with seeing cards like Thraximundar, I'd like to hear what people have been saying about multi-color zombies. I pulled up a list of every card related to or being a zombie, and whew, there's a lot.
I've read the primer in zombies, but it seems *slightly* dated, I was wondering what current types of zombie decks were out there, and possible deck lists if someone was generous.
You're right, the Primer is slightly dated indeed, i need to take some time to improve it again.
For now, i can tell you about Multi-Color Zombies, you have a Burning Zombies (similar to what Jkolts posted), Unearth Zombies and Panda Zombies.
There is no deck based on cards like Lich Lord of Unx yet (i can tell right away you're after that...:D), but that doesn't mean that it can't be built.

Ha, you're absolutely right on the Lich Lord of Unx, I suppose I'll dick around with my own deck crafting and keep an eye out for when more decks based on them get posted in the future.
Zombies have a lot of (God, I am not good with terms...) "Lord" or "Chieftain" style cards, like Cemetery Reaper, Lord of the Undead, Undead Warchief, and Death Baron. Although their not multicolored, they really can stack up (Pull Undead Warchief or LotU, then Cemetery Reaper just stacks up the tokens).
zombies should be mono black. theres something just not right about multi coloured zombies. i've always wanted to make a deck with sedaxis alchemist though.
and i'll second the inclusion of nughtscape fimiliar
It's an aggro/control deck, the focus is controlling the board while you set your key card, produce tokens and conspire when possible, and give a final rush with all pumped tokens once set or just pay UUBB and unleash Unx power.
Ghoul is a life wall, without removal, you'll stay in front on damage racing.
Outlander is a green staller, but you can switch to Grixis Grimblade if green is not on your route
Lich/Reaper: are the token producers.
Alchemist slows them down 2x, bounce and chomp block.
That's a start. Outside T2: Carrion Feeder loves tokens, so him + Lich/Reaper is a core to play with, then aether vial/daze/fow/snuff out/Standstill completes the deck, letting 08 zombie creatures space to fill. Nightscape Familiar can get in if you have enough R/U spells with 1 generic mana on the cost.
Hope being helpful.

Many of the Grixis cards enjoy Zombie Swarm, such as Lich Lord and Grixis Slavedriver. Unscythe, Killer of Kings also works in this way.
