This is my most casual deck I built. It basically is a decent MBC deck but minus the nasty cards like Sorin Markov, Myojin of Night's reach or similarly nasty cards or combos.I built it with the idea in mind of having a deck I can use to play against the noobs or more casual crowd without feeling guilty. It's still pretty good but it's more casual friendly. Here's the list.
The deck can usually go two or three ways early game. I draw a wrath or two and let people overextend then blow everything up then dump zombies or I just swarm with zombies or I play Geth pump him with lords or equipment and beat the person's face that's most likely to disrupt or beat my gameplan.
Then if my zombies get slaughtered and I'm in the late game I can start using Geth's ability, or use a drain spell to kill. I may have oversimplified it with my explanations but those are the basic ideas behind the deck,
I have a mono-black Zombie deck and I find that the best zombies so far have been:
1. Noxious Ghoul
2. Fleshbag Marauder
3. Corpse Connoisseur
Connoisseur gives you a lot of strategies. With Lord of the Undead, he's tutors into your hand. With Filth, he makes your team unblockable. Fill your deck with more zombies and you can use Grave Defiler.
An old removal card that is on theme is Feast and Famine. Most people have never heard of that card. Strangely, it has nothing to do with Sword of Feast and Famine.

Good suggestions! I'll definitely give connoisseur a try. Thinking of adding Volrath's stronghold as a second unholy grotto to work with connoisseur.
I personally like Insidious Dreams in this kind of deck, EOT dump two zombies and tutor into zombie apocalypse or bidding or both. Or dump a zombie to get Grave Defiler /Zombie/Zombie/Zombie Stack. Worse than demonic tutor but fun and on spot with the strategy.
Edit: BTW I really am starting to hate Vengeful Pharoah. When you get attacked by a swarm and you are trying to topdeck a wrath its really bad to have in your grave. It's never really been a huge deterrent to attacks either, just has never been that good for me.
Black Sun's Zenith is a reusable wrath that you can cast to get rid of almost anything at a variable cost. Much more efficient than normal since you're running Caged Sun and Gauntlet of Power. Disk is too slow and telegraphs your intentions, and to be honest I feel like the saying "When you want to wrath, you want to wrath now, not a turn later" holds true.

You may also want to consider Gempalm Polluter.

Late game, you can basically Diabolical Edict every turn for BBBBBB
