I'm still in the process of building one myself. So far I have
{Zombie Apocalypse} x2
{Endless Ranks of the Dead} x2
{Call to the Grave}
{Dread Slaver}
{Geralf's Mindcrusher}
{Undead Alchemist}
{Tower of Calamities}
And {Havengul Runebinder}.

I'm looking for a {Grave Titan}. And would love to know what other people have in their hoard decks or suggestions as well.

Try to avoid cards that require decisions for the horde.  Otherwise, I don't see why not.

For flash back and cards that are in the hordes hand we have it play them the turn after they go to the hand/graveyard.

{grim-grin corpseborn} we roll a dice to see if he untaps then choice the creature of beat choice(usually a token).

Throw in all the zombie lords that you can get your hands on.

{Death Baron}, {Lord of the Undead}, {Diregraf Captain}, {Cemetary Reaper}, etc

I run goblins with {dragon fodder} {krenko's command} and {krenko mob boss} and
{empty the warrens}

I think the OP was asking about The Horde, a multiplayer variant where everyone plays against a special Zombie deck on auto-pilot.

Wow, how could I forget about Diregraf and cemetery reaper? I probably won't be adding baron or lord, because of their value, but good call on these.

Do you guys usually play that the tokens of the horde remain in the graveyard? I'm debating how many {Skaab Goliath}s to add. 1 if they don't, multiple if they have token token fodder to exile. I'll probably add them and house rule that the tokens remain in grave. Maybe I can get my hands on a {Skaab Ruinator}...

I'd say the tokens are exiled, but it's your call.  I think "if you've sufficiently killed a zombie, it's done.  Unless it's a special Zombie that can come back and getcha!"

It's a deck that uses tons, or hordes, of creatures. It's made so you overwhelm them by sheer numbers.

Pretty much. Check out my Apocolypse Horde variant in the fun stuff section. Zombies!
