I think I will put it to test. It's definitely very dangerous to play this deck against Deception, because it can basically leave you with no zombies to cover the damage The Rotted One does to you, but it still looks pretty cool.
Hope you have some fun with it!
I tried The Rotted One + Over the Line + An Empire Reborn 🙂 I could make epic wins but performance wasn't great (in my case).
Less aggro scenarios with An Empire Reborn can be potentially competitive. Like, casting it on Netherswarm Lord to get 2 that will buff each other at the end of turn - this alone makes AER worth having in a zombie deck.
Having one or two Bone Rollers is interesting too. If you tempt-fate ward for a crowd of zombies+, Magic can do nothing and usually loses. At the same time, when you cast AER, you get 2 blitz Bone Rollers ready to attack enemy creatures (although you won't have their Roar, of course). AER also can turn an enemy buffed creature into 2 basic copies which can be useful in case of Nature/War buffers. So, unlike Over the Line, you can use it for taking control of the board.
This is my last version, just a zombie deck with AER and Necronomics (I should add one more big creature - what I have isn't enough for AER):
With Necronomics, you can drop a Rhino and cast AER on it on turn 4 + pip, for example. Or you can drop Obelisks and, then, add a Necroscepter on turn 3 + pip.
I like it but agree with your self-critiques. To that, I'd add that I think OTL is the more valuable card. If I decide to drop a card, it would be 1x AER before I dropped 1x OTL. 2 creatures on board can still be slept or ordered or stalled with frontline. OTL is an excellent finisher because it avoids this. AER is a nice supportive/flavor spell.
That 32 damage in just one turn is insane.
Yup! It's a lot of fun when it works.
10 damage is a lot to take against aggro decks and the deck is a little light on early game and has no board wipes. Not sure if the zombies are enough to stay on board.

I am glad to make you consider The Rotted One, althought the merit of including An Empire Reborn is yours and yours alone. Not a S tier deck, but a fun one for sure! Keep on rockin'! 😄
A good trident in the death deck.👍👍👍
