Well I'm not to good with deck making so I would like to know what would be the best zombie deck please help it doesn't matter what color(s) right now but from what I have seen either BU or BR are best
Personally I run a BU Zombie just for the {Grimgrin, Corpse-Born}, {Gravecrawler}, {Diregraf Captain}, and {Rooftop Storm} combo.
BR and Mono Black are much more aggressive variants, the former relies a bit on burn spells (especially {Bonfire of the Damned}) whereas the latter has access to {Lashwrithe} and maybe {Mutilate}.
Key cards I would say to include in any of the zombie decks are {Gravecrawler}, {Diregraf Ghoul}, and (until it rotates) try {Cemetary Reaper}. If splashing blue then {Grimgrin, Corpse-Born}, {Diregraf Captain}, and maybe {Havengul Lich}. Mono black should also run {Geralf's Messenger} and {Phyrexian Obliterator} until it rotates (not a zombie but cost efficiency is quite great). There have not been many of notable Skaab (blue zombies from Innistrad block) decks without dependecy on self-mill which are usually a UG interaction. {Moan of the Unhallowed} is much better than {Reap the Seagraf} for token spawning, but the latter could be subsituted to lower the CMC curve. {Zombie Apcolypse} and {Endless Ranks of the Undead} are so-so; one is great late the other is only helpful when you are ahead. Think BG focuses more on Endless Ranks but I haven't heard much of that combination for Zombie tribal.
I run BG with {army of the damned} and {grave Titan} and other aggro black zombies the green I use {parallel lives} for extra zombies and others for some nice mana... It just kinda depends what u want to do with it and after u start playing more and seeing what other ppl are using u will get better at making decks
If. You are running br zombies then you need
{ falenrath aristocrat }
{death baron} is nice gives +1/+1 and gives all zombies deathtouch

This.
{Blood artist}, {killing wave}, {sign in blood}, {mortarpod}, 4x{gravecrawler}, 4x{geralf's messenger}, {tragic slip}, and {diregraf ghoul} should be the cards you have sitting in front of you when you start building. Then if you have {falkenrath aristocrat}, and {bonfire of the damned} is not as necessary as people make it out to be decks that have zero mana ramp make little if any use of the card. {brimstone volley} is just as good if not better in this build. As for blue youll want {phantasmal image}, {diregraf captain}, and maybe {vapor snag}.
