-2 ghoulraiser, -2 mimic vat, +4 gravecrawler. Works better with your endless ranks of the dead and if you decided to add it, haakon, stromgald scourge.
Personally I use the vats and ghoulraisers to recur any lords that I lost in case I don't have a Lord of the Undead. I'd maybe remove the ghoulraisers and two swamps for the gravecrawlers, I'd just need to get my hands on four first.

Why don't you join me at the Table? I'm always up for a game.
To be honest, your list looks clunky/slow. What I mean is that your average CMC is hovering around 3, which is high in a "fast" (i hope I don't draw flames from saying that) format. Naturally, you'll be prey to good tempo decks that essentially trade spells 1 for 1 every turn until their efficiency is greater than yours. The solution? Have more quick spells.
If you're playing zombies, you NEED gravecrawlers. It gives you some ongoing pressure, and some card advantage. It keeps you going in the late game. If they path the gravecrawlers, you get more mana to play with, thus relieving your clunkiness.
Withered wretch is actually a really good card to consider. It's inexpensive and can do a lot of things for you right now: "Counter" snapcaster mage, unburial rites for elesh norn etc, and kitchen finks (persist/undying). These 3 are plaguing modern right now. Besides that, you'll have hate against dredge, vengevines and other random things that you're likely to run into.
If you can get them, you should also get 4x Geralf's messengers. They put a major clock on your opponents. I don't need to say much else.
The key card that I would say that you should strive to obtain is: Aether Vial. This is your greatest solution to degenerate 2 and 3 drop creatures.
Some other cards that will be good in general are: Inquisition of Kozilek and Smother. Smother takes care of just about everthing used in the format right now, and is less clunky than unmake. It's also usually better than GFTT since you don't want to have dead cards against affinity either.
Replace 2 endless ranks of the dead and 2 mimic vat with 4x aether vial. It is awesome in creature heavy strategies, plus it annoys control. This adjustment alone will give you a LOT more speed.

I've had some pretty good luck with this deck. If anybody has any constructive criticism I would love to hear it.

Withered wretch is an option for graveyard hate.
I see up to 8 lords. Where are your mutavaults?
Credit to DolZero for this awesome sig!
I use Cemetery Reaper for most of my graveyard hate, but I can see where the Withered Wretch would help.

All these cards are either too clunky or cute IMHO. Hope this helps
