I know this deck would be better with Doom Blade and other spells in standard. I wish I could use them, but the only reason I put this together is because my area is running a bunch of Innistrad Block only tournaments in the next coming weeks, and I had to have something legal to play.
The deck is BG and exploits the morbid mechanic.

That makes a bit more sense. In that case, I like where this is going. I'd look at the mana base first. Are you sure you have enough swamps and duals to reliably be able to cast Reaper from the Abyss ?

That's what Caravan Vigil is for. Between that and Woodland Cemetery I've been able to get him out in every game I've had him in.

Good. You know your deck better than I do. It just seemed a bit low. I might replace Village Cannibals simply because, without Humans of your own, it's going to be a dead drop against quite a few decks. Not so bad in an Innistrad only format, but still worth noting. I might look at Morkrut Banshee instead, though she's two CMC higher.

I've been thinking about losing Village Cannibals for Disciple of Griselbrand . . . maybe keep them as a sideboard cards for people who use GW humans.

That might be better, though a lot of your creatures are pretty low on toughness.

I think you're not getting any responses because you haven't told us what it is you're trying to accomplish with this deck. That's the important question you need to answer which will guide all your deckbuilding. Let us know what the answer is.
Also, you're doing yourself a disservice just sticking to Innistrad cards. Look at the cards from M12 and Scars block too.
