why do you only have 1 or 2 copies of so many cards?

this is a basic zombie tokens deck archetype, i advise you to do something along these lines.

Creatures
4x Cemetery Reaper
4x Armored Skaab
4x Diregraf Ghoul
4x Havengul Runebinder
4x Gravecrawler
4x Diregraf Captain

Land
4x Darkslick Shores
4x Drowned Catacomb
8x Island
8x Swamp

Planeswalkers
2x Liliana of the Veil

Spells
2x Go for the Throat
2x Despise
2x Doom Blade
4x Dream Twist

and this is alternative idea, white.

Creatures
4x Cemetery Reaper
4x Diregraf Ghoul
4x Endless Ranks of the Dead
4x Gravecrawler
4x Diregraf Captain

Land
4x Isolated Chapel
4x Darkslick Shores
4x Seachrome Coast
8x Swamp

Planeswalkers
2x Liliana of the Veil

Spells
3x Go for the Throat
3x Despise
4x Doom Blade

Enchantments
4x Intangible Virtue

In a token deck, zombie apocalypse is almost useless. You will never play army of the damned and if you do it's because you haven't won quicker with the cards you would take out to put it in. and though i agree that unbreathing hoard is a good card, zombies are 3-heavy, with diregraf captain, cemetery reaper and Lili.

also endless ranks of the dead, which i accidentally put in the creatures, and i forgot to put in Moan of the Unhallowed. is your deck on some sort of extreme budget?
