Tribal deck with a sacrifice twist
This deck runs a "sacrifice-engine" to destroy creatures. Gravecrawlers and Butcher Ghouls are the fuel; Grimgrin and Carrion Feeder are the engines.Grave Pact is the linchpin, as each sacrifice must be matched by all opponents. Gravecrawlers are sacrificed, cast from the graveyard, and sacrificed again until no opposing creatures remain. Diregraf Captain adds a life loss effect to this cycle.Buried Alive gets useful zombies out of the library and into the graveyard, while Unholy Grotto/Lord of the Undead gets them into your hand.Once the board is clear of blockers, Grimgrin/Carrion Feeder should be large enough (both from +1/+1 counters and from zombie lords) to do serious damage.If unable to win with straightforward attacks (due to an Ensnaring Bridge, for example), Diregraf Captain will cause your opponent to lose life for each (other) zombie you sacrifice.Phyrexian Altar and Gravecrawler (with another zombie in play) create an infinite sacrifice engine. Use it with Grave Pact to completely clear the board or with Diregraf Captain for an instant win.

Great deck, my only suggestion would be to somehow add into your deck or even sideboard material, add unearth and/ or entomb

Thank you for your comment and suggestions.I considered adding Entomb to this deck, but decided to go with Buried Alive for two reasons: first, it costs $2 instead of $20; second, it only takes up one card slot but lets me drop three creatures into the graveyard. I typically use it to bury two Gravecrawlers and one other powerful zombie--usually Death Baron or Grimgrin--and then recur it with Unholy Grotto or Lord of the Undead. Entomb is faster and cheaper, but doesn't offer this flexibility.I like the idea of adding a few Unearths to the sideboard. It would be nice to mix in against direct-damage decks, which have an annoying tendancy to snipe my zombie lords. Bringing one back from the dead for a single black mana would be an enjoyable turnabout.
