Playtesting —Aug. 9, 2016
Windfall ended up being a card that was dead in my hand a lot of the time due to the possibility of helping opponents. I swapped it for Read the Bones which combines scry with drawing.
Zombie Apocalypse has been added and replaces Grave Betrayal. My deck more wants to get stuff out of my graveyard on mass than stealing from opponents' graves. Zombie Apocalypse acts as another mass recursion win condition with Living Death and Rise of the Dark Realms
Laboratory Brute has been added to increase the zombie presence and give me another solid self-mill card.
I will add Prized Amalgam when I pick up a copy. I'm not sure about Unbreathing Horde. It's a solid zombie but I don't think my deck wants to go tall with one big zombie. It would make a great blocker though since damage to it is prevented in return for removing a +1/+1 counter. Any thoughts on this card?

Tots, thanks ks for the suggestion. I actually prefer succumb to temptation. The instant speed is worth the 1 generic mana extra. I love being able to hold up mana until my opponent's end step to see if I'm going to Counterspell or draw cards that turn

Prized Amalgam is really good in this deck. I'd definitely suggest finding a place for it.
Also, if you want to go for the more dedicated self-mill route, Traumatize, Increasing Confusion and/or Mirror-Mad Phantasm all assist in milling your deck very thoroughly. :)
Hope this helps!

Triton, great suggestions. Any idea on what you would cut?

Murder can be cut for the Amalgam. Hero's Downfall, which you have, outclassed it.
I'd advise cutting non-creature spells down in favor for more creatures and the aforementioned self-mill suite. Here's my take on them:
