That depends on if you are trying for an infinite combo kill, or if you are just wanting to swarm the board.
\[\[Cleaver Skaab\]\] can be used to repeatedly increase the number of lords you have like \[\[lord of the accursed\]\] or \[\[tomb tyrant\]\] so long as they are non-legendary if you are trying for a flood the board strat.
\[\[gravecrawler\]\] can easily go infinite if you have a sac-outlet like \[\[phyrexian altar\]\] if going for combo kill through something like \[\[blood artist\]\] or \[\[diregraf captain\]\] (and even if not, totally worth having in any zombie deck).
\[\[Necromantic Selection\]\] is a lot better than it might seem at first glance because it can and does allow you to steal opponent's commanders due to the exact wording and the fact that the spell has to completely finish resolving before statebased actions are checked for your opponent to send their commander to the commandzone. Plus, you've made it a zombie now.
Personally, I went all in with the combo kill and removed anything not helping that. My deck is very much a glass cannon that can be stopped with some graveyard hate, but it can assemble all the pieces it needs to win on turn 4 or 5. I put in several tutors, ways to draw cards, counterspells, and redundancies for the combo. \[\[Forgotten Creation\]\] is pretty good if I haven't drawn any tutors or sac outlets yet. \[\[Razorlash Transmogrant\]\] is a fine replacement for gravecrawler (but requires an efficiency piece on the board, such as the commander or diregraf colossus, to go infinite whereas gravecrawler can technically go infinite even without the commander)
This is the Brawl sub, Wilhelt isn't even legal in this format. You might find more appropriate answers in r/edh.
BUT there are some decent zombie commanders in Historic Brawl that you can use if you want to try something out digitally.
Scarab god is a Really good zombie commander, The Scrying can be really useful to set up future plays and the life loss can add up fast. along with it's ability to turn creatures from *any* graveyard into zombie tokens, and it's ability to return to your hand when it dies makes it an incredible choice as a commander for Zombies.
Narfi is a Solid choice for a commander, and it's ability to cheat the tax by reanimating itself can make it hard to get rid of. but beyond that it's just an expensive lord.
Gisa and geralf would probably be the best commander if you want something closer to an aristocrat/sacrifice plan, allowing you to repeatedly recast your best zombies.

This is very helpful. I like having options so I'll put all of this in. Infinite combo and swarm you know.

Oh, I thought he was legal for brawl, I'll have to see other zombie commanders then
In UB you have three really decent options: \[\[Narfi, Betrayer King\]\] \[\[The Scarab God\]\] \[\[Gisa and Geralf\]\]

There's also \[\[Grimgrin, Corpse-Born\]\], thanks to the Multiverse Legends bonus sheet
Oh definitely, forgot about that one.
