Starting with mana, you only have 44 sources. I would recommend going around 47. Sapphire Medallion and Jet Medallion are a lot better than the monuments, although more expensive. You want to avoid 3 mana rocks like Dimir Locket and Commander's Sphere, you have better options in two mana ones. Add Coldsteel Heart, Fellwar Stone, Dimir Signet, Talisman of Dominance and at least one land.
For interaction, you could add enchantment removal like Feed the Swarm. Bitter Triumph is new and may be better than Infernal Grasp here.
Since mill and discard can basically act as card draw, you can run cards like Mire Triton, Stitcher's Supplier, Undead Butler, Palantir of Orthanc, and Fact or Fiction, as well as sacrifice based card draw like Corrupted Conviction, Village Rites, and Deadly Dispute. There's also always all-stars Black Market Connections, Phyrexian Arena, and Rhystic Study if you want to go that direction.
Some card to protect your commander like Netherborn Altar, Malakir Rebirth Flip, Zombie Master or Lightning Greaves / Swiftfoot Boots may be helpful if you rely on Gisa and it keeps getting removed.
There are certain cards I am not a fan of in this deck including Master of Death, Prized Amalgam, Scourge of Nel Toth, Tomebound Lich, Dead Revels, and Syphon Flesh.
Some other cards to consider include Cryptbreaker, Geralf, Visionary Stitcher, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Lord of the Undead, Noxious Ghoul, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, The Scarab God, Distant Melody, Buried Alive, Diabolic Intent, Liliana, Dreadhorde General. You could probably replace similar cards with these if they are better.
Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Sac Outlet is infinite. I don't think you run many sac outlets. You could add Acererak the Archlich to go infinite with just Rooftop Storm.

Looks like a fun brew! I never realised how prominent the zombies were in Onslaught. Take a look at Carnophage and Lord of the Undead. I think they might fit nicely in here!

That many paragraphs and I didn't mention Zombies...
Zombies tend to be relatively low toughness, although there are plenty of ways to raise that (Cemetery Reaper, Diregraf Captain, Lord of the Undead, etc.). They also tend to do a lot of work from the graveyard, rather than exile, so if you do decide to something with them, make sure the Urn doesn't interfere with the Zombies' own abilities.
ImNora on Cards that buff zombie tribal?

Here's the deck (for casual EDH):
Gisa, Zom Zom Queen *Work In Progress*
Commander / EDH*
0 VIEWS
I'm looking to add cards to it that will increase my zombie's power and toughness. I've gotta be missing some... I'm new to tribal stuff, so yeah.
So far, here's the list of things I found that buff zombies:

Balaam__ I agree about building towards a goal that is non-traditional:
Building to win is so Spike, and I wanna win like Timmy or Johnny. I personally think this deck is more Johnny because at first glance.. you might miss some of these key interactions!
I.e.: things like how Zombie Infestation makes bodies that can be tossed for Scourge of Nel Toth, and then replenish your hand with Shadow of the Grave.
Boneyard Scourge is a cool card, but admittedly it isn't eternal format legal... that doesn't mean I won't use his happy ass anyways!
As far as "going second" as a precedent, I would think things like Serum Powder could help do a thing.. I even really like the idea of "going second" but having a strong "turn zero" presence to throw off your opponents (things like the Leylines or Chancellors).
Unfortunately, in competitive settings we both know it's gonna be typical "lame"/boring stuff like:
You splashed blue:
Or you splashed white:
Or, my personal favorite, if you splash green, you can have access to all my favorite removal, Graveyard staples, etc.:
And I wouldn't leave feedback about "How to" without covering the obvious ones, or at least some cards that immediately cross my mind for improvements:
- Relentless Dead
- Fleshbag Marauder
- Surgical Extraction
- Feed the Swarm
- Dismember
- Necroplasm
- Necrogoyf
- Necrotic Ooze
- Mortivore
There is a piece of my heart that wishes older Zombies had a more dangerous presence for this, like (I think) Lord of the Undead or Undead Warchief. Even a little slot for Soulless One.
Hell, I've even considered taking this theme to an EDH setting due to a video I saw of Jimmy Wong on Game Nights where he uses Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar as a psuedo-reanimator type build. With the inclusion of , I would especially love to use Bladewing the Risen or his newest iteration from Dominaria United. Initially, what I remembered wanting was "Zombies and Zombie Dragons".
And if we're mentioning that new set, Defiler of Flesh makes this blow up too. So many great "The Rot of the Horde" feeling cards that feed a sensation of an overwhelming wave of Undead minions!
Things like Abomination of Llanowar in a build would also be fun.
Really enjoyed our discussion about this and I'm really curious to see if/what kinda spin you would put on it!

Hey, good upgrades so far of the precon. Nice first attempt, but your deck doesn't have a Commander.
In the deck editor add the CMDR tag after Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver text.
1x Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver *CMDR*
When you save and return to your deck then Wilhelt will be the Commander with it's own category and card image.
Undead Augur is in the precon and cutting it is a mistake because it triggers to draw when it dies or any other Zombie including a Zombie token dies. Because it triggers when decayed Zombies die then it can be an excellent source of repeatable draw and it's a Zombie. Augur because it's only two mana is really good with Gisa and Geralf.
Nice foil Acererak the Archlich. Him along with Rooftop Storm is your best way of winning. A way to win with Wilhelt is Poppet Factory which is the backside of Poppet Stitcher Flip. Factory removes decayed from Zombies letting you with a sac outlet repeatedly sac a decayed Zombie to create another one. Blasting Station or Altar of Dementia are win condition sac outlets with Factory.
If you want to infinite combo with Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm then you also need a sac outlet which Carrion Feeder being a Zombie is helpful. Blasting Station or Altar of Dementia are also win conditions with infinite Gravecrawler. If Rooftop Storm is how you want to win then consider some more protection: Counterspell, Arcane Denial, Lazotep Plating? With 11 Islands Mystic Sanctuary can be a helpful land.
Some changes to consider including some cards in the maybeboard:
- Undead Augur --> Ruthless Deathfang
- Poppet Stitcher Flip --> Stitcher Geralf
- Blasting Station --> Ammit Eternal
- Altar of Dementia --> Havengul Runebinder
- Carrion Feeder --> Undead Alchemist
- Counterspell --> Soulless One
- Arcane Denial --> Prowling Geistcatcher
- Lazotep Plating --> Dread Summons
- Cryptbreaker --> Ebondeath, Dracolich
- Lord of the Undead --> Liliana's Mastery
- Living Death --> Ravenous Rotbelly
- Jet Medallion --> Obelisk of Urd
- Infernal Grasp --> Foul Renewal
Good luck with your deck.
