Deck discussion for NEED HELP, Return from Grave

Nifty deck idea. First thing i thought of when looking at the deck list is cards with Dredge. Golgari Grave-Troll is amazing if you have creatures in your graveyard and Golgari Brownscale would combo with Lotleth Troll. Nether Traitor is pretty nifty with shadow, haste, its low mana cost, and its effect. Masked Admirers can return from your graveyard to your hand whenever you play a creature. And then Sheoldred, Whispering One is also great with graveyards though a bit pricy for this deck especially if your only running 20 lands. That said with Animate Dead in your deck you may want more large creatures that would end games to cast Animate dead on. As it is now I wouldn't target any of your creatures with Animate Dead if i was you.

You may also want to consider Blood Artist if you plan on having creatures dying often. Other then that look into Dredge, Persist, Undying, and perhaps Scavange. :o

I feel like the mana used to cast that spell isn't within the abilities of this deck without some kind of mana ramp.

Your overlooking the entire deck Dragon. x] He gets It That Betrays in the graveyard with Buried Alive and brings it back with Animate Dead.

yea i think the mission is to put out low cost creatures, and use dredge to mill, than spells to animate, nothing should cost alot of mana.

I think the deck could possibly use more defining. First define the goal of the deck, does it want to bring back large game winning creatures from the grave or does it want to have all the creatures just not stay dead? I do think there is some overlap between the two but with Animate Dead in there it starts to become more like the Graveborn premium deck. If you want to bring back large creatures from the grave to cheat them into play perhaps more cards with Animate Dead effects like Dread Return, Reanimate. Also regardless of which route you take id opt for Buried Alive over Entomb. What makes Entomb nice though is it doesn't specify creature so you can get spells with flashback into your grave and play them that way, otherwise Burried alive gets you 3 creatures in the grave for 3 mana.

4x entomb, best card in any gravecycle deck. exhume for sure, and reanimate. You don't really need all the double lands either, because you wont be summoning them the "normal" way. i love reanimate decks, they have always been my favorite. i'd throw in a couple fatties for support, because with the ability to summon whatever monster on turn 2 there is no need for the low drops. i do like this deck, but like vandheer said there is some overlap.
