Hi guys! So I am looking to build myself a deck built around the Whip of Erebos. I have been playing a Golgari deck for the longest time and am looking to spice it up a bit by adding blue. Here is the deck Sidsi Whip My Dudes Any and all suggestions would be very much so appreciated. In addition, my budget isn't super big right now, so, cards that don't exceed $10 would be great. Thanks!

DevoidMage Oh yes! Sorry, I forgot to change the deck to modern after publishing it -
Thank you for your suggestions as well! I do like Sultai Ascendancy just because I can choose what goes into the graveyard, however, during play testing I have found it very slow. So Grisly Salvage does seem like a more viable option. (I run it in my golgari deck actually) Animate Dead is a card I will definitely put into the deck as I forgot it existed, actually. I don't run exhume just because I don't like other people bringing back what I killed off already :/Furtherfore, I love the idea of adding some off-color dudes into the deck! Magister of Worth and Terastodon would be hilarious for sure XD
Thank you again for suggestion! You have been an incredible help!!! :D

@ Potential future commenters, this is a casual deck, just happens to be a thread in the modern forum.
So with whip decks, or any other graveyard reanimation strategy, you are likely going to want the most efficient ways to dump stuff in your yard. wayfinder is fine, but I feel like the ascendancy and some number of nyx weaver could be replaced with Grisly Salvage.
While whip is a fine reanimator, it only hits one thing per turn once pur turn, and it goes away at the end of things. I'd recommend Animate Dead and / or Exhume in addition to the whips to help with consistency.
Your threats are fine, but it could definitely be more fun to add in a couple of off-color duders with devastating ETB effects. Ashen Rider, Terastodon, Cataclysmic Gearhulk, Combustible Gearhulk, Magister of Worth. Because you're not casting these things it doesn't matter what color they are.
And lastly the mana base, Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse just to help with consistency. Opulent Palace and Drownyard Temple ,ay or may not also be helpful.
