Do you have what it takes to enter the crypt?

Basically the deck works like this:

• Mill your self out as fast as possible by Dredging or cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable, Hedron Crab and Drown in Filth
• Rely upon discard cards for opponent disruption and more importantly, putting black creatures in your graveyard for later use
• Use Life from the Loam to bring lands back to your hand (never miss a mana drop), dredge also helps you mill yourself
• Get down a Crypt of Agadeem or two/three/four and ramp mana from your black graveyard creatures
• Play ALL unearth creatures from graveyard based with your ramped Agadeem mana
• Alternatively play Immortal Servitude you can tap Agadeem for 6 mana and return ALL of your discarded creatures to the battlefield without needing to exile them due to unearth. The only drawback is that they won't have haste. If they die later you can always call them back in with unearth
• Alternatively #2 can be a go wide strategy with Worm Harvest every turn and have tons of chumps
• You should never need to hard cast the 5-6 CMC creatures with this deck

This list based upon Watanabe Kenji's "Grixis Unearth" deck. I am however making a few changes to ensure a faster or more secure wincon.

Saffron Olive's "Grixis Unearth" deck based upon Watanabe Kenji's list:

This list differs from the original and will continue changing, but still plays quite similar. I've added a few cards to allow for a backup plan to unearth as well as a bit more creature hate. I may very well add more permanent hate as well just so we're given more time to pop for our wincon. Turn 5 seems to be the sweetspot for the deck.

I'm open to any and all suggestions.. There is no budget concern!
