Unable to spend egregious amounts of money on a single deck, I attempted to make a semi-budget deck centered around everyone's favorite bug boy. Time to get Zombie tokens churning!

The idea is (now) centered around getting cheap zombies that never stop coming back. With Gravecrawler out here working in conjunction with Carrion Feeder and Tormod, the Desecrator to not only get me tokens but card draw with Undead Augur and Village Rites ! By being able to constantly pull new things from my deck, getting The Scarab God will be no problem, allowing for him to start wailing on the enemy with his passive damage/draw. But, most importantly, in the late-game, an ideal setup would be having Gravecrawler , Carrion Feeder , Open the Graves and Rooftop Storm . Why is this ideal, you might ask? Well, if the god hiding in this deck doesn't win the game, surely an unstoppable army of INFINITE ZOMBIES will do the trick. Endless Ranks of the Dead is a personal favorite (I'm a sucker for token spawn-) and will let The Scarab God deal more and more damage every single turn.

While there are some powerful cards that could be added/increased, I want to be able to afford this without selling a kidney. Any suggestions?

Edit

After putting up my humble deck for help and advice on reddit, I wanted to give a huge thanks to /u/ that_name_taken, /u/megawap, and /u/ddojima for their help, as well as everyone else who commented! With everyone's help, I've been able to make some major changes to my deck's functionality.

Most notably: The reduction in token spawn. Having been nearly eliminated (Though I'm considering some possible returns), the major focus of the deck is to get your own creatures out while not worrying about losing them without some sort of benefit. With things like Carrion Feeder, anything that might be lost in one way or another can be salvaged to make him stronger. This synergises well with Undead Augur who gets me cards through that loss.

Cheaper removal spells were also looked at, with Cast Down being the best choice at the moment, allowing for me to clear away any pesky fliers that might try to slow me down.
