Funny that you went for red this time, it was what I first tried with the release of the partner mechanic, because I had been enjoying Grixis save for Sedris itself.
I have since moved to Breya, but I actually liked dorks in the other versions of the deck. With Tymna for draw and in Smasher for Birthing Pod into Twin combo.
There's a grammar error in the text as well. "Perde" is singular and should be "Perdem", the plural form, because it is referring to creatures, plural.
In my opinion the best way to build zombies in EDH is using Sidisi Brood Tyrant. Blue and Green offer lots of utility and the commander itself fuels the strategy of dumping zombies in your graveyard (while creating bodies) to get back later with Zombie Apocalypse/Living End/Bidding, which promotes massive life swings with Gray Merchant and Plague Belcher/Vengeful Dead/etc. She also can be used with combos to mill your deck for quicker wins if you so desire.
I played some games with Scion:
The mana is a little awkward because it makes you have a way to put Scion in play, just like Breya did. Sometimes had to manually get Niv to win.
Miss having the ability to play no wincons at all, like I did with Tasigur.
Considering stealing Necrotic Ooze infinite mana combo from Avvina as well. Works well with Survival and Buried Alive, but not Intuition. Morselhoarder is awful though. Maybe another infinite mana combo that doesn't use lands.
Otherwise liked the red speed and white fatties in bug.
It only needs to produce two colors to be worth it, which isn't too hard. But I can't deny that I'm dreaming of taping her for 5
If Niv is in the Yard we can just reanimate him as well. The coolest part about Niv is that he also draws our deck so we can deal with random hate on the table.
Yeah, I'm working on 5c as well. Doom, maybe try Bloom Tender?
Worldgorger works with Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead and Necromancy. You reanimate him, and he exiles everything you control including the aura. This makes the Dragon die, returning your permanents. At this point your lands come into play untapped and you can tap them for mana. The aura which reanimated the dragon returns as well, allowing you to do it again. With which loop you are now able to generate mana.
Ideally we would have a useful 5c general to let us just jam everything.
That's likely the end goal. If there's a general that also wins with infinite mana like Tasigur or Thrasios then it will likely be the poster child for a long time
All you have to to is play Niv-Mizzet. Gives you all sorts of stupid utility in the CZ. I feel like I can't find a reason to play a midrange deck not headed by him right now, because he gives you this absurd toolbox and an infinite mana outlet.
Best part is that you don't have to rely on Laboratory Maniac, so its trading a functionally vanilla 2/2 for a 5/5 beater with upside as your dead-slot wincon.
I read your thread and follow its development because I like your build and that possibility didn't occur to me, ahah. Thanks for sharing!
Kiki is equivalent to Chron/Deadeye, but I agree that Drafon is very risky. I'm hoping that the fact that we usually have few resources in play will mitigate the drawback.
Yeah, red looting is really great and cheap, speeding us up.

I like how the red looters speed up the deck, also Faithless Looting is great in Intuition piles, gives you access to the Wheel, Dragon and Twin combos are nice wincons, Dack is awesome. Blasts are good too.
White on the other hand gives you big creatures which is nice in its own way.
I personaly prefer the tools red adds (looters and combos mainly), but can respect the fatties white bring to the table. It certainly lets you reanimate more valuable creatures.
In your list, I would add an infinite colorless mana combo (from rocks) as a way to ignore gravehate.
The only green card I really miss in the other colors is actually Survival. Fragmentize has been a decent Claim substitute.
But I understand your point, each combination has its merits. I actually keep Sultai, Non Red, Non Green and Non White lists for this reason.

Does Orim's Thunder kicked targeting a Skullclamp and the 2/2 that has clamp equiped kill the creature?

I hope it is, and if it is I'll try it too
