How about a Havengul Runebinder, not a zombie but benifincial to zombies.
Sean (02-May-2013 19:44)
Making this a mill deck is neat, that's like EDH hardmode. Nemesis of Reason should probably make the cut, maybe Consumer Aberration or Dreamborn Muse. Duskmantle Guildmage makes any mill double as damage too.

If you like spell crumple, you'll like hinder - they both combo nicely with tunnel vision you've got, along with the reito lantern.

I think Havengul Lich, Dimir Doppelganger, and Wrexial, the Risen Deep all work pretty well with mill strategies too.

Maybe a Gravespawn Sovereign or Painful Quandary?
- swanlass (27-Feb-2013 11:40)
  Gravespawn Sovereign is now on my wishlist. Painful Quandary already was.

You need to add a Guiltfeeder.
- swanlass (13-Feb-2013 14:05)
  Guiltfeeder is kind of pricey and its not a Zombie!
- - Sean (Edited 28-Feb-2013 17:42)
    No but it does a lot of work if you're milling your opponent!
    
    If you want to stick only with zombies, grixis slavedriver, dregscape zombie, rotting rats, corpse connoisseur, skaab ruinator - they all come back from the graveyard, so you can mill/discard them without worrying about it. Havengul Lich & Geth, Lord of the Vault are other zombies that interact well with big graveyards.
