Crypt Incursion is kind of horrible, actually. This deck isn't going to win against graveyard decks with 1 copy of Crype Incursion. You should play Commune with Evil for card selection and lifegain. This deck doesn't need Isolation Cell you should play another win condition like Reanimate

Hi there, great looking deck! Some ideas:

• Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead/Reanimate: you're going to be milling so much, you might as well benefit and steal something from an opposing graveyard!
• Dark Ritual: great instant mana-boost that allows you to cast something a bit faster; especially useful during early-game phases.
• Rise of the Dark Realms: casting this after milling a bunch of libraries will lead to straight up armageddon in most cases.
• Urza's Incubator: bit of an expensive addition, I know, but oh it's so worth it!

Goblin Charbelcher has been a conflicting matter for me. My general idea for this deck has been to have a turbo 5c build (turbo rog/si or rog/reyhan would be the standard, as honestly trying to build turbo without Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh is a bit iffy), so the obvious answer is that other win-cons (eg. Destroy the Evidence or Lively Dirge, etc...) would be less mana, and wins the whole game (rather than ousting a player, and making yourself global enemy #1). I tend to think that even citadel is a little better (for the reasons above) even if it needs tons of black pips, but that is much harder to say and more a matter of preference. With that said RIP effects are the true killer for this deck right now, and I don't have a super easy way to get around that in the current list (other than play faster, though that doesn't work against the leyline). Currently my easiest way to win around such effects is tutoring thoracle and hard casting it. RoL effects aren't so much as a hassle - I won't be winning in one turn, but charbelcher wasn't going to anyway. My standard coping mechanism with that is Memory's Journey which I can do on someone else's turn (or my next upkeep if I don't have mana open) to get back Reanimate -> thoracle. The two MDFCs really got the cut just because entering tapped is a big downside when (trying to) go fast. I very much see the appeal of a more staxy battlecruiser-y build (this deck definitely lacks consistency, and dies to stax).

You can't Chord of Calling or Green Sun's Zenith for a Regrowth. Most green decks are built to leverage The Great Henge more than, say, Whirlwind of Thought. That's why Eternal Witness has become massively more popular in EDH than Regrowth ever could. You can Ephemerate, Reanimate, Heat Shimmer or Clone your Eternal Witness, while Regrowth has a lot less ubiquitous synergy pieces.

Weirdly enough, Snapcaster Mage never became as popular, even though the utility is very similar; a 2/1 human creature that grabs something from your graveyard to reuse. I think if Snapcaster were more popular, Regrowth would be as well.

Gol ding it!!! Forgot a few suggestions. Here they are.

Reanimate (mentioned it in comment #2 but forgot to list in comment #3 which is the actual list of suggestions)

Archdruid's Charm*** (can't recommend this enough. It's removal. It's a tutor. It's ramp. It can get any land in the game at instant speed. Very important for getting Glacial ChasmGC consistently and at the exact right moment)

Sowing Mycospawn (You run enough colorless sources to be able use its land destruction ability. It main purpose will be to increase your critical mass of any-land-in-the-game tutors and you don't even need to worry about having colorless for that.

If you add mycospawn and archdruid's along with expedition map while not cutting world map, you'll have a whopping 9 cards capable of getting any land in the game. You've got 6 atm. Definitely add archdruid's if nothing else.

CREATURES:

I like every single creature with the sole exception of the Ancient Adamantoise. Glacial ChasmGC does the same thing but way better and is more on theme for the deck. Also, swapping an 8 drop for a 0 drop MASSIVELY reduces the deck's average cmc. I'd simply cut this. You need to cut two cards regardless AND you'll probably want to make more cuts so that you can add in some of my other upcoming suggestions. These suggestions will be different than my "swap" recommendations in my previous comment.

LANDS:

You are running two of the three karoo lands (Golgari RotFarm, Selesnya Sanctuary) in your colors. I'd reduce this to one. Normally I'd never run any of these cards except in VERY specific decks. That said, necrobloom is one such deck that I would run these in, but I would only run one. These are even slower than a normal tap land and are brutal to have destroyed by a strip mine or something. But in a deck that can recur lands and play more than one per turn, they are worth including one of. Pick one of these and cut the other. You are running 11 basics in a 3 color deck which is pretty high. In order to justify running things like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach you'll only need about 6-7 basics. I speak from experience. Even if you wanna run more than 7, 11 is really high. And again, I will be suggesting a bunch of lands to include, so you'll wanna cut some basics and a karoo anyway.

Last thing regarding lands: your land count of 40 is actually a good number. Normally 40 is way to high, but this is a "lands matter" deck so 40 is a good call here. You could probably get away with 38 or 39 too, but don't worry about that unless you are desperate for cuts.

SORCERIES:

These are all very good except for two. I'd cut Regrowth. If you still want this effect (you already have Eternal Witness) then run Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip. It's an MDFC land so it's awesome and synergies further with your deck. I'd also cut Dread Return. This card is actually VERY good and even saw some cEDH play when Flash/Hulk was still around. The flashback cost is also really good fro your deck. However, the initial cost of 4 is too slow. Consider Reanimate. This is the best reanimation spell in the game and this card is the reason reanimator decks are called reanimator. Also, with reanimate, you lower your deck's CMC more AND you can grab opponents' creatures with it.

INSTANTS:

I already recommended swapping Overkill for Swords to Plowshares. Other than that, I'd cut Reprieve. It's not terribly great (I know you want a pseudo counterspell, but this is meh). Cut it for NecropotenceGC and that way you still preserve and actually upgrade the card draw in the deck.

ARTIFACTS:

As mentioned before, you should still try to keep world map if you can. Endstone should be cut. It's VERY powerful, but it's both expensive and risky. NecropotenceGC is much better for drawing cards.

ENCHANTMENTS:

I like every single one of these with the sole exception of Spelunking. Sure it ramps you once (can wiff although VERY unlikely in your deck) but its 3 mana and theres a ton of two mana ramp you can run that's land based. Also you run 0 caves. The entering untapped IS nice, but swapping this card entirely for another card that let's you play more than one land per turn is going to be much stronger and also kinda negates the tapped lands as you're gonna be able to get more out which negates the slowness to an extent.

I saw your post asking for help with cuts to the deck. Mimeoplasm decks are fun and there's all sorts of interactions to play around with so I get how it's tough to trim the list down.

I don't know what exactly you personally consider fun to play and what cards you are more inclined to keep in, so I think that it might be easier to just highlight what looks to be the core of the deck and try to build outwards from there.

Win-Cons:

• Necrotic Ooze + Phyrexian Devourer: I'm not sure when the change happened, but on Oracle the errata's text for the Devourer's activated exile ability now reads "Remove the top card of your library from the game: Put X +1/+1 counters on Phyrexian Devourer, where X is the removed card's converted mana cost. If Phyrexian Devourer's power is 7 or greater, sacrifice it." Before, you never had to worry about the sacrifice part because it was a triggered ability so the Ooze didn't copy it. Now that the self-sacrifice effect is built into the activated ability it means that the Ooze will kill itself if it activates the ability and ends up going to 7+ power. I don't think this combo is feasible anymore and that you can cut it.

• Blightsteel Colossus: You don't have a way to reanimate or copy this at instant speed in response to its shuffle trigger when it is put in your graveyard, so your only way for it to stick on the board is if you hard-cast it. I don't think that it's worth the effort. And I think that most games will end before you risk decking yourself and needing the Colossus to keep shuffling itself into your library. I'd cut it from the deck.

• Blighted Agent/Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon + big creatures under Mimeoplasm: This is what I would consider your main means of knocking players out. Death's Shadow, Impervious Greatwurm, Lord of Extinction, Titanoth Rex, and Yargle and Multani are your main targets to remove for counters on Mimeoplasm, so these are 7 cards that should definitely be staying.

• Jin-Gitaxias, Core AugurGC: Reanimating this early in the game and getting it to stick is a backup win condition. Buried Alive, Entomb, Fauna Shaman, and Frantic Search are your best ways to try to get Jin into the graveyard. Animate Dead, Necromancy, Reanimate are your best ways to reanimate Jin early. So that's 8 cards you should definitely keep. Victimize helps too but it is a little unreliable early due to needing 2 targets in your graveyard. Still worth running in my opinion.

So that's 16 card + your commander that you know that you want to run to help you win. From there you can mark out the slots for land, ramp, draw, and interaction. What slots are left goes to what best supports you reaching your win conditions. You'll need to really consider which cards help you reach your win conditions and which are there more for fun.

Looking at your list, some things that I can note are:

• You shouldn't count thinks like Conduit of Worlds as ramp since they don't help you get ahead in mana. They just help make your land drop each turn. Matzalantli, the Great Door  ^Flip and Aftermath Analyst also don't help ramp you in the early game. So on the whole your deck is actually suffering from a pretty notable lack of cheap ramp.

• Cards that mill opponents but not you like Mindcrank, Psychic Corrosion, and Ruin Crab do technically help you by getting cards into your opponent's graveyards that you can reanimate or exile with Mimeoplasm. However, they are less useful to you overall than cards that can also mill you because you know that milling yourself helps you reach your deck's build-in win conditions while milling opponents is a gamble.

• Memory Plunder can be fun but you might be better off running a card you are pretty certain that you can use than gamble on useful opponents' cards ending up in the graveyard in a timely manner.

• Archon of Cruelty isn't as impactful in multiplayer games as it is in 1v1. It's still an ok reanimation target if you don't currently have anything better.

Rad Rat Build yooo. I think some cheap graveyard pieces like Reanimate and Takenuma, Abandoned Mire would just help the deck feel good to play. Withering Torment or Feed the Swarm are useful and unique in mono black,
