Blue Black Zombie Sac Deck
The general idea of this deck is to combo to victory with infinite damage using:1) Rooftop Storm (to make zombies Free)2) Grimgrin/Bloodthrone Vamp (as a sac engine)3) Diregraf Captain/Blood Artist (for 1 damage per sac)4) Gravecrawler (sac and due to rooftop, recast for free, making unlimited damage)Forbidden Alchemy/Increasing Ambition helps me dig for what's needed, ghoulcaller's chant gets back any creatures discarded that I actually want. Cyclonic Rift and Tragic Slip are there to slow the opponent while I get set up. Geralf's Messenger exists primarily as a blocker. If I can't get setup, alt-win is sub-par agro.

To many islands for Geralf's messenger's. Other than that nice deck.

Removed two islands, added 2 more swamps.Also looking at what to add for a sideboard. (currently in flux)
I'm not that good with sideboards but I'll try here.4x Dissipate (can be useful, good against major creature threats)4x Duress (think this is an amazing card, I sideboard it a decent amount last FNM *which I made top 4*)3x Murder (instant kill is good to have, one of my bigger issues at FNM was craterhoof because of haste, if I was running murder it would have been a lot easier)2x Sleep (cause it could be a pretty good chance at winning. It presents you with 2 turns of more or less block free attacking and saves you some good like also. Don't ever see it used but I think it could be fun, don't see a lot of counter spells in mid-range/aggro decks so it seems like a decent card)2x Vampire Nighthawk (powerful creature really good chump blocker gains you some life and kills the creature)
After messing around with some test hands, I did -2 Tragic Slip+2 Increasing AmbitionAs I found myself often lacking the cards I needed to complete the combo this deck is built around.I liked the idea of some of the sideboard cards you recommended.Changed SB to:4 Vampire Nighthawk2x Blustersquall (Can function as a near sleep at instant speed)2x Sleep2x Cyclonic Rift (Murder is nice, but I like the temporary stall functionality of Cylonic, plus late game I can overload if needed)3x Duress (as you said, an amazing card)2x Think Twice (kind of a filler card at the moment, can't think of what else to add)
Made the following changes, due to being unable to find some of the cards:Main Deck: (temporary change?)-2 Blood Artist+2 DissipateSideboard:(permanent change):-2 Think Twice+2 Diabolic Revalation(temporary change):-2 Cyclonic Rift+2 Devastation Tide
add at least 2 Essence Harvest just so you can make use of your big creatures... :)
When Innistrad came out I toyed with the idea of making a U/B zombie deck, but I could never get it to click... This an interesting idea though. Thought of maybe adding in a couple of Endless Ranks of the Dead to up your zombie count/give you sac fodder? Would also help with the aggro side of things a little
Playtesting this deck, I found it moved really slow, and that I gave up way too much early game ground, with no real way of recovering that ground. To try to combat that, I made the following changes:-1 Geralf's Messenger-2 Increasing Ambition-1 Forbidden Alchemy-2 Dissipate-1 Tragic Slip-2 Diregraf Captain-1 Grimgrin, Corpse-Born+2 Blood Artist+2 Diregraf Ghoul+2 Liliana of the Dark Realms+4 MutilateIt was hard to figure out what to take out, but the Diregraf Ghouls give me an early game blocker, the Blood Artists can help me stabilize until mid-game, with their lifegain. Liliana helps me get those last few swamps, or if needbe, her 2nd ability can be used as removal. Mutilate helps as a board clear most of the time on turn 4, and if I have blood artists out, it can be a decent life swing to help stabilize.
