Looking for some advice on additions/cuts for my Teneb reanimator.

I'll get round to writing a proper deck tech at somepoint but essentially it locks down the board with grave pact effects and abuses ETB effects by reanimating. My metas fairly casual so I've tried to avoid any infinite loops or dickish plays...

 {Dance of the Dead} and  {Obzedat's Aid}

What do you do against graveyard hate?

This. I'd recommend {Reclamation Sage} for sure as you always get something out of it. Maybe {Keening Apparition} or {Silverchase Fox} as well.

I also feel like you need some discard to get your creatures in the GY. {Zombie Infestation}, {Liliana Vess} and {Grimiore of the Dead} would work. {Unburial Rites} is a Reanimator staple.

{Karador Ghost Cheiftan} seems like a better general

Cheers for the suggestions all.

I'm running {reclamation sage} {quasali pridemage} {acidic slime} {bane of progress}  for enchantment/artifact removal. They're less specific than the apparition or fox. {ashen rider} also works. {grimore of the dead} and vess are good shouts. The deck does run a bit slow at times and struggle for GY targets. {jarad's orders} could do well but I'm aiming for everything to be reusable from GY. {unburial rites} works quite nicely. I'll put it in for the artwork.

There's not a lot of GY hate besides the odd  {bojuka bog} in the meta but the plan is to reanimate the removal creatures. I'm trying to find the balance between enough GY targets and not putting all the eggs in one basket... Karador would probably be a better suitor, but I prefer the flavour of teneb and try not to run the mainstream generals. Plus when all else fails, 3 hits and they're usually dead on cmd damage!

MommaB: Obzedats aid looks good, shame it's not reusable but could save me in a tight spot! I prefer {animate dead} but I'm having second thoughts these days...

Any suggestions on cuts?
