Deck Description

Final version of my Hellraisers deck. Hoping to take this to some FNM's. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COMMENT! Want to make this deck even better!

COMBOS:
Skirsdag High Priest + Stitcher's Apprentice
Stitcher's Apprentice + Reassembling Skeleton
Vengeful Pharaoh + Forbidden Alchemy
Necrotic Ooze + Forbidden Alchemy
Any Kill or Sac + Reaper from the Abyss

NOTE TO COMMENTERS: I would very much like to build a decent sideboard and help to improve this deck. Questions I'm considering:
a) Should I include Jace, Memory-Adept in here? If so, how many, and what should I replace?
b) Know any good cards to make this deck run faster and smoother?
c) Should I replace Reaper with Massacre Wurm?
d) Any good ideas for graveyard return? (Forbidden Alchemist has the potential to really screw me over)

Please help!

Royal Assassin is a good one. Bonehoard would be obscene.

I haven't played with your deck at all, so maybe I'm off in this remark, but it seems to me like this deck is likely to be too slow or fragile (too slow vs. aggro and too fragile vs. control) to be "tournament quality." I have playtested with Reassembling Skeletons before and found they tended to be too inefficient mana-wise even though they seem great for card advantage, for instance.

If you just want to build a combo deck (rather than seriously trying to win tournaments), have you considered trying to build a deck around the Necrotic Ooze + Grimgrin + Bloodline Keeper combo?
