I think that most countries have a law on the books that states "you must play the maximum number of on-color cycling cards in every deck that runs {Life from the Loam}". LftL becomes a serious engine when you can recur 2-3 cycling lands.

Other than that, the deck looks really good. The creature count feels a little light. I might try to find some creature-based replacements for a couple of your non-creature spells.

I got confused by your post about laws.....
But yes crearure count is a tad bit low.
Any suggestions? Id like creatures from all colors but white seems to fall short.

Looks pretty good and flavorful :) so far. 
{Karmic Guide} is good for creature based resurrection and you could always let it go back to the yard. 
What about creature sac outlets?  {High Market} , {Phyrexian Tower} , {Grim Backwoods} etc plus creature based ones like {Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter} or {Nantuko Husk}.  If you wanted to add more come into play trigger creatures you could recycle them pretty nicely after saccing.  I see you don't have much in the way of mana ramp so the following might not be that well received without a way to accelerate but I've enjoyed them in my Teneb deck.
{Avenger of Zendikar}
{Sword of Body and Mind}
{Corpse Dance}
{Disturbed Burial} Instant-tastic :)
{Angel of Despair}
{Duplicant}
{Stonecloaker}
{Sakura-Tribe Elder}
{Solemn Simulacrum}
