Maybe? The fact it makes your board of Gravecrawlers and Diregraf Ghouls unlockable with Urborg is nifty. But you'd need a Lord that gives +1/1 to really kill decks as fast as you need to in modern.

It's just too poorly supported, somehow blue got a plethora of two mana lords when all the other colours get 3 mana lords. There are a ton of zombie lords but for 3 and 4 mana...you're just a bit too slow. I do love me some Zombie Master though.

I built a pretty savage U/B Zombie deck for modern once. It was only semi-competitive, but was hella fun to play. I splashed blue for Diregraf Captain and Countersquall. I knew I wanted some form of countermagic, and Countersquall fit my gameplan ridiculously well, because the goal was to grind my opponent down with small bits of life loss through that counterspell, Geth's Verdict, Blood Artist, Geralf's Messenger, Diregraf Captain's ability etc. Then since my creature-base was very resilient to dying because of Undying, Gravecrawler (with four Mutavaults to ensure I always had a zombie), Bloodghast, and Butcher Ghoul, I was able to run sacrifice outlets that are usually unconventional because sacrificing board state is usually not so good. I was able to legitimately use Altar's Reap, Grimgrin, Corpse-Born, and even Demonmail Hauberk LOL. Four mainboard Tragic Slip is pretty savage too in this deck.
Giving all my dudes swampwalk would be pretty legit! I'd certainly find something to cut for it.
