You need the reanimate spell to be instant, so you can get around emrakuls triggered ability when he hits the graveyard, try shallow grave or goryo's revenge.

That was a mistake, woops!
Because I'm a mean person.
i originally had arcane melee in there but took it out for other things, didn't see it being too necesarry with the ramp and late game mana base. also archmage actually works rather well with the amount of card draw in this deck, and if any other deck has group-hug card draw.
Wrexial the Risen Deep, Lazav Dimir Mastermind, gravecrawler, havengul lich would all be great additions to this deck
thanks for the thoughts! after seeing how popular this deck is (and relatively cheap too) i figured i might throw one together that is consistent. any more sideboard options are welcome!
Primevil Titan is banned in EDH.
honestly, i havent given any thought to a sideboard for this deck since it's more-or-less just something i would throw together with cards laying around.
I strongly recommend making it 3x sphinx and 2x psychic to make room for 3 think twice. draw power in a control deck is essential and i just dont see enough here.
Any suggestions? the idea was more so a game of attrition, keep things off the field while i extort and make a pathway for flyers to get in or gideon
oh, and mana fix since a lot of your creatures are specific (i run 4 shock and 4 multi lands in my golgari deck)
all i have to say is gravecrawler!
I say take out nature's blessing and put in increasing savagery-less mana, and more counters later although without the miracle cost. also, instead of arbor elf maybe put in young wolf, hes a /1/ undying so he can be sac'd twice for ooze
Parallel lives would do wonders here in place of seance
haha woops you are correct, thanks for pointing that out!
Wow i didn't even think of that, thanks for the idea!
ashmouth is actually handy like that more often than you'd think. with 5 mana and geralf and blood artist on the field, play ashmouth, sac geralf, bonesplinters ashmouth to destroy a creature, he comes back and sac geralf again. ill take the consideration of taking out vraska but idk if ill need more land 21 seems to work fine.
