Love it. You've got some cards in there I didn't know about that I will consider for my deck, like Drunau Corpse Trawler. Very nice. One of the lords I run is Zombie Master, which combos nicely with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. It makes for a great swarm win condition.
Here's my list: Gisa and Geralf

Thank you to Nicoblack and Outake for the comments!
Nicoblack, I've always been on the fence with the Drunau Corpse Trawler as well Noosegraf Mob so just seeing someone else say they had to go made me realize just that. I also got rid of Gisa and Geralf as I've realized out of all 3 copies, I can't think of once I've gotten them onto the battlefield. I took your advice about fattening up some creatures I already had out here, and I added some low cost Instant and Sorcery cards because I've had some decent luck with Rise from the Tides and I'm anxious to pair that with Anointed Procession
Outake, I play tested the deck the last two days and I'm pretty happy about how things turn out around turn 3-4, although I'm starting to think about taking out a Swamp or two and adding in more cards like Forsaken Sanctuary
Thank you both again for the help!

First of all if you want to get competitive keep in mind steadiness of the deck, more copies of the cards you are playing. This doesn't look like a control deck and you are planning to attack with a crap ton of zombies, so the faster you can do that the better. I would take out Gisa and Geralf, Noosegraf Mob and Drunau Corpse Trawler from the creatures, because they are expensive to cast in an aggro deck and Rise from the Tides, Rise from the Grave and Stir the Sands because you are neither throwing things in the trash nor casting a lot instants or sorceries. Your removal is actually well based and Time to Reflect just seems like an over performer in this deck.
Turn Aside seems weird but functional, just take into consideration that mass removals in standard are not targeted, so you may run into troubles.
If you want to get into the competitive scene there's actually not a better thing than to play against other guys and find the common solutions, maybe targeted removal, maybe more creatures, don't build your deck to win against a single deck, that's why sideboard exists.
I would suggest you to add more cheap creatures to keep pressuring your opponents by attacking every turn like Doomed Dissenter.
Anyway, in the end it is your deck, don't hesitate to add cards that you want to play with or build around some cards, it just feels better if you have fun playing your deck with a strategy that you came up with.

These are options from EDRec.com
Sidisi, Brood Tyrant - Tutors on a death touch beater.
Drowned Catacomb - Great land.
Forgotten Creation WOW, this card seems great for this deck.
Rhystic Study - Please don't.
CARD I AM NOT TOO FOND OF:
Stoneforge Masterwork - I think you would get more value from a Zombie Lord.
Profaner of the Dead - This card seems out of place. What are you looking for this card to do?
Smuggler's Copter - There are simple and better ways to filter/draw.
Bone Splinters - There is better spot removal. Never
Drunau Corpse Trawler - Lack luster.
Siren of the Silent Song - A potential cut.

The Scarab's reanimation!

Carrion Feeder better sac outlet than gnawing zombies
Apprentice Necromancer hasty zombies are cool, this seems like an all star under mimic vat
Plaguebearer-anti token tech
Relentless Dead good all around card
Shepherd of Rot good with whip of erebos
Tymaret, the Murder King sac outlet with minor upsides. the more zombies in the deck the better
Withered Wretch graveyard hate=super good. if you run a lot of graveyard hate maybe look at Living Death as well
Anathemancer silly ramp decks with their fancy dual lands
Cemetery Reaper graveyard hate and lord
Death Baron no one will block thrax
Diregraf Colossus seems good at swarming, really good with gravecaller and phyrexian altar
Lich Lord of Unx slow token production, kinda cool win con
Lord of the Accursed another lord
Nantuko Husk free sac outlet. maybe better than ashnod's altar?
Plague Belcher board wipe i dare you
Unbreathing Horde big dumb guy, possibly hard to kill though
Agent of Erebos graveyard hate that could be repeatable
Corpse Augur card draw, you might be lacking on this type of effect right now
Drunau Corpse Trawler two zombies in one card
Forgotten Creation get that hand cycling for living death and patriarch's bidding
Risen Executioner another lord with possible upside
Undead Alchemist go wide in clever way
Undead Warchief super good card
Vengeful Dead another anti wrath tech
Custodi Lich card draw and board control
Gray Merchant of Asphodel life gain in massive swings is good in my book
Havengul Lich awesome card, would play
Kraum, Ludevic's Opus gotta get that blue/red working in your deck. this could be a Rhystic Study possibly as well
Lightning Reaver no one expects the hasty zombie, and gets around pillow forts. might make people target it/you
Noxious Ghoul super great card! it's been an all-star in every zombie deck i've run
Phyrexian Delver reanimation is good i hear
Possessed Skaab The zombie eternal witness?
Sidisi, Undead Vizier get your rooftop storm on curve
Woebearer slowish reanimation
Deathbringer Thoctar more creature control
Gempalm Polluter killing folks at instant speed, could be good to Phyrexian Reclamation
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed the best lord
Noosegraf Mob go wide
Twisted Abomination good early and late
Dark Salvation flexible kill card. make sure you understand the card before goofing it up
Cemetery Recruitment cheap draw 2
Zombie Infestation swarm card, might want to run a Bident of Thassa to fuel it
Curse of Shallow Graves kinda risky token maker
Empty the Pits instant speed army please?
Gisa and Geralf the type of non zombie i like in this deck
Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet graveyard hate and tokens, winner winner chicken dinner
Vizier of Many Faces the embalm is a zombie, and you can get value out of milling it
Call to the Grave a payoff card to running zombies
Ghoulcaller Gisa swarm and sac outlet
Liliana, Death's Majesty if you want a planeswalker
Stitcher Geralf remember you can exile the creatures your opponents mill
Syphon Flesh expensive creature kill
Ever After could be good
Zombie Apocalypse this seems great
Necromantic Selection really expensive wrath, might want a Decree of Pain for the mana cost
Army of the Damned yeah zombies
Possible cuts
gnawing zombie- i think carrion feeder is better
mind slash- really slow, like really
phyrexian crusader- if this is your only infect threat i'm not sure i like it
defiler of souls- call to the grave is better in my book
cruel ultimatum mana curve reasons
curse of the cabal see above
trophy mage non zombie
phyrexian obliterator non zombie
you could think about cutting mulldrifter and skriekmaw as well because they aren't zombies
well that's a lot to think about, i'm excited to see what you put together!!!

You can't build a consistent Standard deck with only one copy of so many cards.
To start with, I would remove:
3x Drunau Corpse Trawler
1x Gisa and Geralf
1x Laboratory Brute
3x Stitched Mangler
1x Wailing Ghoul
1x Contingency Plan
Try to add:
3x Cryptbreaker
2x Diregraf Colossus
3x Relentless Dead
2x Fetid Pools
2x Sunken Hollow
OR
4x Sunken Hollow if you have the cash
I would try to remove ALL the Sorceries and put in extra Fatal Push, Grasp of Darkness, and Turn Aside
Have a good look at this deck, as it's basically the best way to build Zombies at the moment, and should give you a few tips.
