Thanks for all the advice. I've used it and now I'm looking at something like this. Anything else?

You will find this running slow unless you get a lucky hand.  First thing is to reduce to 60 cards, next is to play 22-24 lands or you will have serious mana problems. 4 {crumbling necropolis} will be a must IMO.

I would drop 2 {grotesque hybrids} 4 {sins of the past} 4 {choice of damnations} for starters if it were me.  These cards are to slow given the CC.  You should bring back the reanimate cards.  You want to dump creatures in you GY and then reanimate them with {recurring nightmare} or something to that effect.  You do not need a lot of creatures 14 or less is plenty since you will be reanimating the big guys early on.  I am on the fence about the signets....they may not be needed if you rely on reanimating creatures instead of actually casting them.  I use {death} as a cheap reanimate card....it is a double card from the Apocolypse expansion.

I like those ideas but what about disentomb  deaths duet or bone harvest to reanimate stuff
Also a little help trimming it down cuz I'm having a little trouble with it

{disentomb} is not a reanimate card since it just brings it back to your hand.  You want cards like {death} or {recurring nightmare}

Ditto, exact cards I was thinking....just could not remember names.  The goal is to dump Sheoldred and any other nasty creatures in the GY like {demon of death's gate} is good.  Once Sheoldred is in the GY then you {reanimate} her and she then {reanimates} free once a turn.  You would not want to {disentomb} cards cuz this takes away what Sheoldred can put in play.........make sense?

Yea I see what your saying and I worked in some cards but I can't put in demon of deaths gate without a little help trimming it down what should I leave out to make room for it if anything?

I'm a big fan of {Coffin Queen}, if you can get one.  :)

All the signets and {grotesque hybrid}....you can trim the prince down to 2 as well since you will just search the library and dump him in the GY anyway.  I will post my deck for you to look at if I have time.  You do not need multiple creature copies in these decks because you are not relying on drawing them.......{buried alive} and {entomb} makes your own fate.....so to speak.

That's a good point I forgot about that and would adding diabolic tutor help this along a little too?
