Notes:
I find that I have an unhealthy obsession with this card since I used it in standard and I had to make an EDH for him. Any advice would be appreciated

I like using Grimgrin with {Sheoldred, Whispering One} and {Grave Pact}. You don't have to care about what you're sacrificing, since it'll come back next turn, and you can start wiping your opponent's field pretty quickly.
I'd put in at least 1 of every dual land. Why not right?
You should try the {Exquisite Blood} and {Sanguine Bond} combo and/or the {Bloodchief Ascension} and {Mindcrank} combo.

$$$ cost and {ruination} effects are both reasons to avoid too many nonbasic lands. That being said, only 2 is an uncommonly low amount of nonbasics. Adding a couple duals or good mana lands like {Dimir Aqueduct} or utility lands like {Rogue's Passage} couldn't hurt.
The deck looks pretty solid! I have to agree about adding Sheoldred - she's a staple in any EDH deck with black, and is even better in your deck when she brings back your sacrifices. You may also want to consider {Hex Parasite} for the insane synergy he holds with {Mikaeus the Unhallowed}.
{gleancrawler} can bring back cards too, albeit to your hand

Good card, but unfortunately it would not be allowed in this deck because of the green in its mana cost.
In reply to some of you, the only reason I don't have more duel lands in is because I am silly to lazy to look them up. Also I like to alphabetize my decks so they are readier to read which would take even more time. I do agree about rouge's passage, however I have problems with its mana cost every turn. I actually have one main concern: {Rooftop Storm}. I know it's a great card, but by the time I have it and the mana to play it I'm normally just top decking which is when I can play all my creatures for mana anyways.
I would keep rooftop storm just for the gravecrawler & grimgrin infinite combo. It's something that needs to be answered every time. And if they can't get rid of the enchantment it's most likely game.
Also don't miss the combo with the new gatecrash guildmage and the mindcrank artifact. :)
You might consider {Nether Traitor}. He is a good sword carrier and he an be easily saved to grimgrin. Between that and gravecrawler and bloodgast you will be set.

Also I'm trying to make another version or a win con with tokes but can't find much that I haven't put in. Any advice?

Back when I had a similar deck, I used to cycle {Gempalm Polluter} after dropping an army of the damned, and usually after a few turns of the Lich Lord of Unx's shenanigans. Pretty hard to lose when you hit them with around 20 damage to the face, even in a 40 life format. And on top of that, you have the Lich's ability to activate too! It draws some angry stares, but can be very effective.
{Thopter Assembly}isn't aweful for the deck. It alwayschakra dudes for grim grin and bounces itself to do it multiple times. Wurmcoild is solid but not a win con. Honestly kicking {Rite of Replication} on the correct target typically gets uou somewhere. Most of the time I feel like you want to put some evasion on grim grin an just get there with enteral damage. {Grafted Exoskeleton} {Whispersilk Cloak} {Mask of Riddles} {Sword of Vengeance} all help you there
Also if u add {Diabolic Revelation} you can just grab {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed} and {Triskelion} and infinite combo damage and kill everyone.
I have a grimgrin edh build that uses zombies and mill and cards like {Undead Alchemist}, {Endless Ranks of the Dead}, {Lich Lord of Unx} and then either just sac and make grimgrin huge, sac the alchemist and swing for life or swing with tokens for decking. It works alright unless they play heaps of wipes. :/
