Looks like i got the core of the list - version 2 —Jan. 5, 2019
I decided to ditch Steel Leaf Champion in favour of Knight of the Reliquary. Its slightly slower.
However, its much better on the defense, thanks to being able to get +3/+3 via fetching for Ghost Quarter, boost the whole team (even as a combat trick) with Gavony Township, or it can act as a pseudo Mother of Runes by getting Sejiri Steppe either protecting cards like Iona, Shield of Emeria from removal (like pesky Cryptic Command), or allow creatures to push those lasts points of damage through a sea of blockers.
I also cut some number of sideboard cards that didn't preform as well as expected, stuff like Mitotic Slime. I didn't really need Obstinate Baloth in the burn matchup - which was slightly unexpected.
Aaaand sadly Thrun, the Last Troll does very little in the control matcup, when it somehow would need to survive against Settle the Wreckage & Terminus.
I don't think i have much use for those cards.
Budget reanimator decks use Footsteps of the Goryo to reanimate them, and that is where cards like Ashen Rider shine. If i would want a "FINISH HIM" bomb of the top of eldritch evolution, i wouldn't run Moldgraf Monstrosity as even cards like Terastodon (destroying my own lands) are better options - probably i would go for something like Avenger of Zendikar or Liege of the Tangle...
(and i have no clue why would i want to play terastodon...)
To me (at least) Void Winnower look like a more fun, but ultimately more easily removed Iona, Shield of Emeria

I saw your forum post and figured I'd stop by. Budget reanimator builds frequently use Ashen Rider, Terastodon, Moldgraf Monstrosity or Void Winnower. Polymorph, Eldritch Evolution and Unburial Rites style decks are all essentially creature toolboxes, perhaps you can borrow ideas from those other decks. Hope this helps and good luck with your brew.
