I've been playing Zombie Karthus on the PBE with the new Eleisa's Miracle.

21/0/9, taking 15% reduced cooldowns for Revive/Teleport. Standard AP Caster runes. HP/lvl Seals for tankiness.

Rush Eleisa's Miracle so you can have it dissapear from your inventory quickly. Since you're rushing Eleisa's Miracle, grab a Rejuvenation Bead, Faerie Charm, and 3 health potions for your starting items. Since boots got nerfed and jungle got harder, you will worry less about jungle ganks. The only negative is -25 movespeed, but at least it's not -50 movespeed like before.

After that, get Homeguard Sorc Boots/RoA. Standard Karthus build from there. Deathcap and then Void Staff. Homeguard boots STACK with Revive speed boost. Both last after a teleport, meaning you can go sonic the hedgehog and chase people down.

This puts Revive at a 378 second cooldown (normally 540 seconds) and Teleport at a 270 second cooldown (normally 300 seconds).

POSITIVES: Revive/Teleport means you pretty much automatically win lategame if your team isn't dumb. Getting there is a whole different story, though. The HP/5 and the MP/5 from the philo rush helps you in lane.

NEGATIVES: Rushing Eleisa's Miracle/Homeguard Boots puts you 1000 gold behind on your Rod of Ages. However, Rod of Ages got cheaper, along with Deathcap. It's not THAT bad to get Eleisa's Miracle. Rushing Eleisa's will cost you damage as well. Don't expect to 1v1 your opponent that easily.
