Standard Zombie tribal. Edits: -3 Heartless Summoning, +3 Mana Leaks (Sexifies my mana curve). Also find it odd that I left out Grave Titan--think he should be in here, but not sure what slot to clear. Suggestions?

Take out Heartless Summoning. It will actually stop Gravecrawler from being useful and your creatures aren't all that high cost so it's kind of pointless. If you want something to help get your zombies out, think about Rooftop Storm. Just my two cents.

^^^^^^ 100% agree. Sideboard looks like fun. Surprised you don't have Mana Leaks as part of your main deck though.
Agreed with Soap about taking out Heartless Summoning, but Rooftop Storm is not the answer. Aside from the 2 Grim-Grin's nothing costs more than 3, all of your zombies will have been played before Rooftop Storm could even be useful (Rooftop Storm is just too much mana to ever be useful imo). I'd replace the summonings with highborn ghoul's or geralf's messenger, that will make the deck much quicker and more consistent.
Big, think about it though, Diregraf Captian, Grimgrin, Gravecrawler and Rooftop storm is an infinite combo. Plus he could think about Havengul Lich in order to get back some zombies he has lost. With Rooftop Storm it would be zero cost for all of that. Again, I do see why it really isn't needed. I said Rooftop Storm because Heartless Summoning is main;y to cut down on cost which is what he wanted. So I merely gave a suggestion on something that would help if he wanted to cut back mama cost.
Wow, good call Soap. Never noticed that combo, infinite counters on grim-grin and infinite life loss to whatever opponent(s) your playing. Might have to re-think mine haha.
I see what you mean. On the one hand, Heartless only kills Gravecrawler, and that's if I don't have a Captain or Reaper out, while also killing all of their 1/1s. On the other hand, Grimgrin is about the only high cmc creature I have in here (barely looked at this once it was finished, and had planned to have more high cost creatures in the beginning). I think I'll swap it in the sideboard for mana leaks. Other option would be keep heartless and add some Grave Titans and other beefy guys. As for Rooftop, I love that card--bought a playset. It rocks in my Grimgrin EDH, but I don't know how handy it will be late-game without strong draw-power, which this lacks. Even if I had Havengul, if I have enough mana to cast Rooftop, I've got enough to cast anything else. I was going for speed over brutality. Will rework it, though. Thanks for all the suggestions!

The only thing I would change now, drop the crusader because he is infect and dont really fit into the deck and add Geralf's Messenger. Otherwise look great, good job.
The Crusader is a great chump blocker--in effect a 4/4, plus pro RW. As much as I like Geralf's Messenger, especially with Glistening Oil, I'm hesitant about his casting cost: BBB in a U/B deck--it could be awhile before he gets dropped.
