 {Vizkopa Guildmage} is amazing with lifegain. He turns it into a double whammy

Use  {Vizkopa Guildmage} in my side board but I think I should put them in instead of  {Deathpact Angel}

Cremate is not standard
{Cremate} is reprinted in return to ravnica therefore making it standard

May I suggest  {Dutiful Thrull}, he is an awesome blocker as well as can set up combos for you. I'd also so  {Crypt Ghast} would do wonders. Maybe  {Kingpin's Pet}, {Blind Obedience}?

My bad, I don't play with bad cards so I didn't realize it was

 {Exquisite Blood} is a must!!!

I agree with  {Dutiful Thrull} a one drop with a cheap regenerate. I want to put in  {Crypt Ghast} but I feel like it would be better in a mono black deck. I didn't want to put in  {Kingpin's Pet} because I have  {Vampire Nighthawk}. Maybe up in the  {Dutiful Thrull} and another  {Blind Obedience}. Thanks for the recommendations.

Cremate isn't bad at all. Albeit it's not the best mainboard but people play have it sideboard all the time. Specifically for reanimate decks (not to mention it's black draw power without the normal cost of paying life or saccing a creature). It's cheap, especially since the best 1 drop graveyard targeting mechanic card ( {Deathrite Shaman} ) is over ten bucks a pop and rising. But shaman is no good in this deck anyway, seeing as he has no green mana; making cremate a very good and viable black grave removal/draw power.

Agreed I use cremate and distress in my sideboard. I found it particularly effective against undying creatures like  {Geralf's Messenger} and reanimate creatures like  {Gravecrawler}.

Yeah... There's this thing, called rest in peace
