Zahndrekh goes into the warriors, the immortals go into the night scythes and they act as tank killers and to help out the wraiths or immortals when they can, the wraiths and dlord are my counter for CC units and also act as a distraction unit, the barges are for AA

To make this competitive, you want more wraiths and a destroyer lord. Drop the tomb blades they aren't good in competitive games. Also the more scythes/barges on the field the better so try and get a transport for the footslogg warrior squad. Whether it be a ark of scythe, even if you have to drop them down to 10 guys because they will get picked off otherwise and ou need your scoring troops!

Overall, your list isn't bad - it just needs tweaking.

I would consider swapping out your Overlord with Nemesor Zahndrekh. Being able to remove and add special rules to your units (especially Tank Hunter) can make a huge difference and he'll be 5 points cheaper than your Overlord. Zahndrekh is more of a tactical and strategic HQ than one that you will put on the main front-lines carving a path with a warscythe.

Right now a lot of people recommend Wraithwing which is arguably the most competitive build that Necrons have at the moment; however, I have seen a few people who are doing well by fielding a small scarab farm (1 unit of spyders augmenting 1 unit of 5 scarab bases). Depending on the army, Scarabs + Zahndrekh buffs can be vicious on clearing off objects and forcing your opponent to move armor away from such. If this is the case, then grant Tank Hunter to your Warriors or Annihliation barges and take out vehicles that way :-). Scarabs + Furious Charge is a mean combo as well.

I would remove the tomb blades as well. In a competitive environment, any of the other 3 options in fast attack are actually better.

I would remove the Crypteks too. 12" range isn't going to be as effective anti-tank as the Scythes, ABs, and the fast attack options. A Septernal Weaved Lord tanking for your warriors would arguably give you more traction than the 2 storm-teks since it's another 2+ save and would allow a different character to accept challenges if your Overlord is in the unit as well.
