I have tried a few commanders for a zombie tribal with my favorite being The Scarab God. Unfortunately, my scarab god deck always felt a little lackluster and i didn't like having to add more mill to the deck which takes away from the horde every zombie player wants to make. I have decided to reselect Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver as my mander. I've added some sac outlets like Grimgrin, Corpse-Born and Ashnod's Altar which have really helped out my synergy with Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver's decayed zombie ability. The wincon is normally a mix of combat damage and burn damage from cards like Gray Merchant of Asphodel The Scarab God and Plague Belcher.

The best/most-fun combo is to get going is with the card Gravespawn Sovereign along with a sac outlet like Grimgrin, Corpse-Born to grab cards out of graveyard such as Noosegraf Mob (which can get itself out of graveyard after 5 spells have been cast) or you can use Gravespawn Sovereign to replay Gray Merchant of Asphodel to win with more burn damage.

There are two infinite combos with this deck. One is to recast Gravecrawler and sacrifice it with one of the sac outlets by casting it for free with Rooftop Storm. This doesn't kill on its own but with a card such as Plague Belcher it kills with burn damage. With a card like Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver or Headless Rider you can win next turn by attacking with infinite zombies.

The second Inf combo is more complicated and requires you to have Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, Headless Rider, Gravespawn Sovereign, a sac outlet such as Grimgrin, Corpse-Born or Ashnod's Altar, a zombie with amass such as Gleaming Overseer or Eternal Skylord, a burn zombie such as Plague Belcher or Diregraf Captain, along with 1-2 untapped zombies (they can be decayed tokens). The way the combo works is you have all of the zombies on the board except for the amass zombie then you either play the amass (Gleaming Overseer) or from the graveyard by tapping 5 untapped zombies using Gravespawn Sovereign. Then after Gleaming Overseer ETB and creates the zombie army sacrifice Gleaming Overseer to your sac outlet. This will create 2 more untapped zombies. 1 decayed zombie from Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver and 1 regular untapped zombie from Headless Rider. Then tap those 3 zombies (the zombie army, the decayed zombie and the regular zombie) along with the 2 extra zombies you have on board to with Gravespawn Sovereign's ability to bring back Gleaming Overseer from the graveyard to the battlefield but before it ETB sacrifice the regular zombie you tapped and the zombie army. This will create 2 untapped decayed zombies. Then after Gleaming Overseer creates the army sacrifice him again to create another decayed and a regular zombie from Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver and Headless Rider respectively. That creates the 5 zombies you need to tap to get Gleaming Overseer from the graveyard with Gravespawn Sovereign again. Remember before Gleaming Overseer etb you need to at lease sac the zombie army and the tapped regular zombie so that you can create enough zombies to get him out of graveyard again. Just repeat that infinitly with a burn card on the battlefield to burn all your oponents to death. If you don't have a burn card you can wait till next turn to swing with infinite decayed zombies after they untap and loose summon sickness
