Nobody's got any suggestions, huh?

I'm just biased, but I don't like Crumbling Colossus.

Quicksilver Amulet + fatty -> this I get

the rest, not so much

I wasn't sure about the Colossus, but his interaction with the Sutured Ghoul is pretty awesome. Swing with a 7 trampler that put's itself in the gy to make my ghoul bigger is pretty sweet I think. It may not work exactly like I hope though.

Well it's not necessarily your run of the mill reanimation strategy I guess. And actually Jace's Archavist is supposed to be in the list, I just forgot him. I've got Sheoldred to bring creatures back, or Disentomb to get them back to my hand. With the Amulet bringing them to my hand instead of to play isn't too bad. Here is basically what I want to do with the deck: Throw a bunch of big guys in the GY for the Ghoul and swing with a huge Ghoul hopefully with haste with the Boots. I'm also thinking of putting Fling in the deck so that It can be a 1 turn win (not 1st turn win). Also, the Pharaohs bring themselves back if my opponent want's to attack me, so they are really good in the GY. I don't know you understand the deck better or not. It makes sense in my head, but I don't really know how to explain it. I have a reason in my head for each card in the list, but I think I'm trying to do too much with the deck. For instance, Zombie Infestation. I was thinking it would be good to be able to dump creatures from my hand to either to 1) make the ghoul bigger, or 2) keep the pharaohs in the gy if I need them there against more aggressive decks. But now I'm thinking with the Amulet I would rather just play the creatures instead of throw them away, and if a Pharaoh is in play he accomplishes the same thing without them having to deal damage to me or a planeswalker...

Also I guess I probably shouldn't call it reanimation, since that's not the main focus of the deck. I can do it with the deck, but if the opportunity presents itself, I would much rather win with the Ghoul. I could also add Traumatize for a while to dump more into my gy faster, but since reanimation isn't my main focus, I don't know if I want to mill myself too fast if I can't come back from it and I end up handing my opponent the game because of it. When I get it made, or if I proxy it, I'll try it with or without Traumatize and see what works better.
