Help for The Undead Army Wilhelt

This is the Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver zombie deck. This deck is all about not only calling out multiple zombie tokens, but also this deck has a milling engine which is useful in this deck. This deck also deals with tricky creatures that are a pain to shift, so the other engine is self sacrifice and dealing damage to opponent's.

This is my current build on Wilhelt, I am looking for any tips and advice that anyone is willing to give to help strengthen this deck. As this is my favorite deck at the moment and currently on a budget. I have seen some good cards to put in the deck, but can't afford them at the moment.

Some of the combo's in this deck are really fun and I am still learning more combos the more i play with the deck. Some key combo's are:-

Gisa and Geralf + Vindictive Lich + Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver

So with this combo you trigger Wilhelt, The Rotcleaver's end step ability to sacrifice a zombie. Sacrifice Vindictive Lich to draw a card. Also, creating a black 2/2 zombie token with decayed due to Wilhelt's first effect. Then, Vindictive lich's effect will trigger, which will discard 2 cards, sacrifice a creature and lose 5 life from up to 3 opponent's (Must choose different opponent's for each ability). Then, trigger Gisa and Geralfs skill to cast a zombie from the graveyard (If you have spare mana). bringing back Vindictive Lich.

Distant Melody + Necromantic Selection

This combo is mainly for the late game, but be careful with this combo as this could deck you out. So start off by paing 3 black mana and 4 colourless mana to cast Necromantic Selection, which destroys all creatures and sends them to the graveyard. Next, you are able then to return all creatures that died this way to your battlefield, under your control and they become black zombies. Then, pay 1 blue mana and 3 colourless mana to cast Distant Melody. You can then declare a creature type, (zombie) then draw X cards where X is the number of creatures on your battlefield of the declared type you control.

Diregraf Colossus + Headless Rider + Necroduality

This is a very fast combo to build your battlefield with the undead. Start off by paying 1 blue mana and 3 colourless mana to cast Necroduality. This now allows you to create double the creatures that are zombie's that you cast (Not Tokens). Next, pay 1 black mana and 2 colourless mana to cast Diregraf Colossus, which now triggers Necroduality creating another copy of Diregraf Colossus. Then, by paying 1 black mana and 2 colourless mana cast the Headless Rider, which then triggers both Diregraf Colossus's effects and Necroduality. Creating a copy of Headless Rider and also creating 2x 2/2 black zombie tokens that come in to play tapped.
