Need My Zombie Deck to be More Consistant

Any suggestions for making my zombie deck more consistent?
I glanced at the list just now and didn't see Gravecrawler or Geralf's Messenger, two of the best zombies. Messenger isn't as good in Commander because of the life totals, but it's strong enough to see play in Modern.
Also I'm a huge fan of Grey Merchant of Asphodel alongside Phyrexian Obliterator. In Commander cards like Grey Merchant lose some of their impact because of the life totals, but Obliterator's special ability making them sac permanents is just as relevant as ever. It's not a zombie and the casting cost is restrictive in a two color deck (I even have trouble casting the Obliterator sometimes in my mono black deck because of colorless lands like Arena and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Yikes!). Perhaps an Aether Vial would be fun here to help with that. It's a good card on its own and you seem to have enough creatures for it, and vialing in an Obliterator for a surprise block against a 4/4 is usually game over.

Stitcher Geralf Gisa and Geralf Prized Amalgam basically toss in all the zombie lords you don't have too. You want to flood the board with zombie all the time. The reason that zombies remain a force to be reckoned with is a combination of them being a "horde" and that they are hard to remove due to recursion. I think if you are running zombies in commander you need no less than 35-40 zombies. The rest is removal and draw and such. They don't all have to be zombie but should interact with them well like Grave Titan or be such a powerful card you have to run it Phyrexian Obliterator

I just checked out the deck. It says you want to put cards into your opponents graveyard and then reanimate them. If has a consistency problem it could be that your opponents arent running enough creatures to do this. If you want help to stream line your so that if becomes a smoother running deck let us know and the community will help out a ton.
