My attempt at B/R Zombie aggro without the Cavern of Souls for cost reasons. This deck is heavy on the creatures and light on spells for the main-board.

Get on the board early with 1&2 drops Diregraf Ghoul , Gravecrawler, Knight of Infamy, or Crimson Muckwader, and Rakdos Cackler.

Clear the way with Searing Spear , Pillar of Flame or the 1 main-board copy of Victim on night.

Geralf's Messenger is a solid 3 drop and board presence since you're opponent will be hesitant to attack, block, or burn it due to the undying effects.

A well timed Hellrider , Falkenrath Aristocrat , or Thundermaw Hellkite can deal the opponent large amounts of damage and can often times be game winners.

When Falkenrath Aristocrat is targeted, sacrifice Gravecrawler or Geralf's Messenger. Knight of Infamy will even work since he's a human for the +1/+1 bonus. Also, you can steal creatures with Zealous Conscripts - attack with creature, and then sacrifice creature to Falkenrath Aristocrat for added silliness.

Sideboard:

Appetite for Brains and Duress against control and boardwipes.

Electrickery against mana dorks and spirits

Dreadbore against creatures/plainswalkers

Vampire Nighthawk against other aggro decks and geist
