Deck discussion for First attempt at Zombies.

Hi there.
With about 200$ I'm not sure on what kind of budget you play.

Green does work very nicely for Zombies as Lotleth Troll is such a nice card. I keep it 2 colored for now.

Vedalken Ghoul is not my favourit Zombie as he is a 1/1 for cmc2. A Butcher Ghoul or Blood Scrivener do so much more for their mana and work with the cost reduction of Undead Warchief.
Never found Ghoulcaller's Chant to be usefull. Early it works as a delayed Undying Evil, late you have the mana to play better cards...

Compelling Deterrence has Zombie in his text but if you think about it, its a removal spell if your opponent has no cards in hand otherwise its a bounce spell for 2. Your creatures have deathtouch, do something else with that mana ;)

Do those 2 planeswalkers work so far?
With 5 mana you could give your entire team +1/1 flying, indestructable with Eldrazi Monument compare that to a Jayce card draw...

Form my experience with linear Zombie decks the early game is crutial. Your 1 mana Zombie can't block and the 2 mana zombie should have a 3rd mana available. 3and4 mana are very strong and 5 (see above) should win you the game more or less instantly.
-> More early power
Festering Goblin/Shambling Goblin could fit that spot.

If you want to see a different approach to Zombies feel free to check out my latest deck :P
