There are some potential combo's in here, but mostly the deck is for a strong but casual meta. It does really well and has a great late game. It mostly just wins by attacking with huge zombies together with as many tokens as possible, but the synergy and complexity in some of the interactions makes the deck a lot of fun to play. I tried to stay all zombies, but could not resist adding Grave Titan.
For added fun, make sure to have lots of tokens, it is a lot better then putting a dice on one token
If you have questions or suggestions, don't hesitate!
Liliana of the veil while by far not budget would be a great add. Also the new Liliana would be solid too. Black cat might be a solid card in the 2 drop slot. It gives you card draw on death and has great zombie synergy. Sac it for another ability on a different creature get a card in your hand plus what ever that other ability does. Cavern of souls is a must have in pretty much any tribal deck. Unmask is great. Demonic tutor is a good card to have all the time. Compelling deterrence looks like it would definitely have a home in this deck. Ghoulcaller gisa is a great combo with black cat. Sac a 1/1 draw a card and get a 2/2 on the field. Graf harvest will give all your creatures menace. And it's a 1cmc enchantment. Havengul runebinder might have a home here. Kinda hard to say. It depends on how much you rely on regeneration and graveyard recursion. Also kalitas, traitor of ghet looks pretty solid here. Sac a zombie and make an already pretty solid creature even bigger. Lich lord of unx imo is a must have in just about any bu zombies deck. Necromaster dragon might have a spot at the top end of your curve and catch them off guard with a flier in your deck. It's a dragon but it creates zombies and mills your opponents. Shamble back is a fun one. Yes it's a sorcery but still fun if it doesn't get countered. Stitcher Geralf is solid. Especially if your meta likes creature heavy decks. Vile rebirth is an instant speed shamble back essentially without the life gain for the same cmc. Zombie trailblazer would be a funny add to the deck. The deck looks solid for some casual play but outside of that I'm not sure how well it would fair.
Hi thanks for the suggestions!
I'm a bit of a sucker for flavor, so won't play the non zombies, though kalitas is on my short list but just to expensive, same for liliana, the last hope
Added cavern of souls to my want list! Sort of forget about it, though price again is a bit much.
Can someone convince me about lich lord of unx? Always when I see it, it just seems to do not enough, looks very situational and the ability is to expensive.
True, the deck is casual, but definitely on the strong side of it.
For the rest, I updated my sidebinder, a lot is in it! Deck will still evolve.
Cavern of Souls is a good call...budget is keeping me from getting that right now, so I tend to forget about it too.
Lich Lord of Unxcan be good if you have a ton of zombies out, with a Rise of the Dark Realms ready to go. But one thing to remember is that GYs are like second hands for some decks, so you could just be feeding the flames as well. For those people, you need to have a way to recur Bojuka Bog or something similar.
Quite frankly, only run mill if your deck is ready to, and can, take fast advantage of it.
Still, loss of life will get around your opponent having a 'no damage' effect in play...
Lich lord is good in a couple stages of the game. The first being early game when you're trying to establish board state. He creates 1/1 zombie wizards. The key here being zombies. They can be used later as a sac outlet for another ability. You can also close out an opponent with his second ability if you need to. If not the mill is definitely nice. I'm not suggesting you build a mill heavy theme but it can be useful at times. Especially if you see them scry and keep the card(s) on top. Then you know it's something to help their strategy so you can just mill them out of those few cards. And if you're generating a whole bunch of tokens then it will come into play even more as the game goes on.

Grave Betrayal - One Damnation or other board wipe later, and you're the only one with an army. GG?
Vengeful Pharaoh - great auto-recursion and protection for yourself.
Pontiff of Blight - multiplayer games is where extort really shines, and every little bit helps with lifegain.
Call to the Kindred - tribal decks that have blue NEED this.
Grave Pact - mostly useful if you go for the sac outlet, and/or recur Fleshbag Marauder. Prepare for the hate backlash, though...
Nim Deathmantle - What was that about Grave Titan not being a zombie? Now he is!
