Added Darkest Hour to facilitate infinite sacrifice loops using my sac outlets. Considering replacing Dread with Avacyn, Angel of Hope, good idea or bad? Added more draw cards Phyrexian Arena, Staff of Nin, and Bloodgift Demon

I would recommend Grave Betrayal . Not a huge fan of Stormfront Riders it is just too conditional, lacks true power. Since the deck looks like it needs more sac outlets I would recommend card:Ashnod's Altar, Attrition or Altar of Dementia (since it looks like you are running graveyard shenanigans). Carrion Beetles don't add that much at all to the deck as a whole. Mortician Beetle is a more fun replacement.

Elder Cathar is another one of those cards who is just mediocre, I would recommend spot removal spell or board wipe in his place. Selfless Cathar only helps once, but I feel it could be better replace with Blood Artist .

You could remove some of the cards which only remove creature from graveyards but do nothing else for something like card:Necromancer's Covenant. Also Geth, Lord of the Vault could come in handy for getting more sac outlets.

I was already looking at getting grave betrayal . I took out stormfront riders, selfless cathar, elder cather, and carrion beetles and replaced them with oblivion ring, cellar door, path to exile, and thoughtpicker witch. I am thinking about adding a lilliana of the veil.

What is your budget for this deck because I also recommend Grave Titan and Beacon of Unrest . Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter would also work in this decks them fairly well.

Luminarch Ascension could also work well to creature strong tokens for either attack or using as a sac outlet.

My brother sent me all four EDH playable titans through the mail so I should be getting a grave titan soon. I just ordered geth, both alters and grave betrayal. My budget is kind of low since I am in collage. The most I can pay for a card is around 5 dollars with a few exceptions

I am also getting Liliana Vess and Leyline of the void. Would you advise adding the leyline?

Hmmm Leyline of the Void is a hard card for me to judge, since it really depends on the decks which you commonly play against. Do they use a lot of graveyard tactics?

Along with that Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is absolutely wonderful in a graveyard deck.

The main problem with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed in my deck is that he only protects non humans. I ran this deck before then broke it down but my brother liked it so I remade it adding some new cards that I had. Advice on my Riku deck would be appreciated also if you can.

Why Elspeth, Knight-Errant and not Elspeth Tirel ? Hoping for the ultimate?

You could also consider such cards as Thraben Doomsayer , Geist-Honored Monk , Requiem Angel , Knight-Captain of Eos and Captain of the Watch .

And if you wanna nerf people before they go nuclear, play Identity Crisis . Sure, it's a one-off, but if timed properly it makes a player lose.

As far as Elspeths goes I only own the one and I do have Geist-Honored Monk but the others I do not have and might consider getting. I was mainly considering Requiem Angel for its ability to produce tokens.
