This is my first attempt at making a zombie deck. I was considering making it a dual red/black to put in some burn cards. But for now, this is what it looks like:  

Creatures(18)
3 cemetery reaper
4 diregraf ghoul
3 geralf's messenger
4 gravecrawler
4 hunted ghoul

Instants(8)
4 tragic slip
4 doom blade

Sorceries(11)
2 ghoulcaller's chant
3 moan of the unhallowed
2 Zombie Apocalypse
2 Call to the Grave
2 army of the damned

Lands(23)
23 swamp

Hmm, my concern is that you might never get enough mana for Army of the damned. You might also want to consider Mortarpod for someof your dudes. I also think it would be better toside out doom blade and put in go for the throat , it generally hits more stuff, but as I said, keep DB inyour sideboard for theodd tempered steel deck. maybe re-evaluate hunted ghoul. A 1/2 isn't doing much for you unless you're like 100% sure they're pulling a Stromkirk noble T1.

Hunted Ghoul, Moan of the Unhallowed, Zombie Apocalypse, Call to the Grave and Army of the Damned are all terrible replace them with good cards.
If you just want to go Mono Black that's fine but a blue or red splash offer alot better options imo.
I would probably go something like this for mono black if that's the direction you want to go.

Land
4 x Ghost Quarter
18 x Swamp

Creatures
4 x Diregraf Ghoul
4 x Cemetery Reaper
4 x Gravecrawler
4 x Highborn Ghoul
4 x Geralf's Messenger
2 x Phyrexian Metamorph
3 x Phyrexian Obliterator

Spells
4 x Go for the Throat
4 x Tragic Slip

Artifacts
2 x Mortarpod

Planeswalkers
3 x Liliana of the Veil

I like this. But I'm on a budget and I need to keep the cost low. What would be good to add instead of liliana of the veil and phyrexian obliterator ?

To replace Liliana you could just add some extra removal anfd to replace the obliterators you could add Bloodline Keeper . While not as threatening it is a solid 4 drop.

EDIT: I fogot to mention that Lashwrithe is very good in a mono-black build.
