I like the deck!

Have you considered Dakmor Salvage? This seems like a great engine to be utilizing - discard it, dredge it on next draw (possibly getting even more lands in the yard), repeat.

Grave Pact effects & company also may be of good use here with your many creatures & tokens.

Perhaps another sac outlet or two? Priest of Forgotten Gods and/or Carrion Feeder may go far here, especially with Grave Pact type effects. Not sure if they are needed if that type of effect isn't included though.

Of course the hardest part will be making cuts if necessary, and I don't have any direct suggestions there aside from maybe Pile On? That card has unimpressive when I have tried it; it is great when you have a huge board state, but quite inefficient when behind or need to keep up blockers.

Best of luck and happy brewing!

Not a deathtoucher, but Kitesail Freebooter does have flying and can keep your opponent off their best card, at least for a while. Assassin Initiate and Covert Cutpurse  ^Flip will do the job but at a steep mana cost. I'd personally like to have a sac outlet more repeatable than Village Rites to recycle Bloodsoaked Champion for more lifedrain and Xathrid triggers, especially during a board stall. Carrion Feeder would be my first choice as a beater that can get out of hand while also sticking to the zombie them. Keeping it to only humans, Dockside Chef is also an option. Speaking of zombie beaters, Champion of the Perished is also potentially powerful, although, like many cards already in the deck, it makes a lot less sense when you don't draw a Necromancer.

Also consider dropping 2 lands, Mind Stone, Bloodflow Connisuer, Wayfarer Bauble, and Sword of the Animist for your Talisman of Creativity, all Rakdos Signet, Izzet Signet, Dimir Signet, Viscera Seer, and Carrion Feeder.

I think there may be a few issues with the combos you are proposing.

Blood Artist + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar does not combo as Gravecrawler requires you to control a zombie to be cast from the graveyard and Blood Artist is a vampire.

Nantuko Husk/Phyrexian Ghoul/Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar also does not combo. In this instance you can continually sac and re-cast Gravecrawler but this will not trigger the abilities of Nantuko Husk/Phyrexian Ghoul/Carrion Feeder (they require their own sacrifice).

In: Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate (a solid recursion option), Ali from Cairo (this is a ripcord to pull when you're looking at lethal, I've found myself in this position a few times and since this deck is very good at dialing up answers, I've slotted good 'ol Ali into the deck, Callous Bloodmage (this is a needed answer for decks that also rely on graveyard recursion), Carrion Feeder (I needed a creature based sac-oulet, which would be easier to tutor and would allow infinite combos), Dolmen Gate (chose over Legion's Initiative and Reconnaissance -both of which I love and are good alternatives -I'm testing out the gate to see which one I like more), Goblin Bombardment (free sac outlet, can go infinite), Pinnacle Monk  ^Flip (back into the main and out from the maybe; the one game I didn't have it I found the game stretching with lots of juicy targets accumulating in the graveyard and no way to get them back; I like options), Swamp (up to 5 total, better hitting land drops), Viscera Seer (another more optimal free sac-outlet).

Out: Aether Vial (I love this card and it's done good work mid-game, but I think there is better value), Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit (I decided to remove the infinite combo with Murderous Redcap for more resiliency and interaction potential), Baton of Morale (I really want to showcase the power of banding and think this could be a good way to direct damage to the creatures you want to die/recur, but am testing Dolmen Gate as an alternative way to do it), Cauldron of Souls (good for ETB recursion and wraths but I wanted to bring down the CMC, tough call), Claws of Gix (replaced for better options), Denethor, Ruling Steward (better options), Legion's Initiative (I love this card and it lets me get an extra ETB trigger, but am trying Dolmen Gate as an alternative), Murderous Redcap (took out the infinite damage trigger with Anafeza), Sword of Light and Shadow (I really like swords, but felt there are better options).

Beebles - No worries; always liked Carrion Feeder dropping in at 1cmc to explode triggers is all. Only reason I mentioned the "wipe" was for if someone gets off the ground 1st (Gruul tricks, Animar, Selesnya, etc); as Grave Pact seems to be the "go-to" for that here.

Have you ever considered evasion? I've been chumped many a time with "go-wide, then go-tall" decks, and it feels bad when your 15/15s get shutdown by just good-ol' Avenger of Zendikar (or doubler decks, cough Rhys the Redeemed cough). Ever consider: Song of Freyalise - (elf) Bramblewood Paragon/Tuskguard Captain - or the new Sandstorm Salvager? Suddenly, the snowball is an avalanche ;)

Beebles - I'm jealous. ;D Golgari is my favorite Guild, and this is one of the most tuned for cost-v-effect I've seen! =O That said, Carrion Feeder is nearly always underestimated. Mortuary Mire is your new replacement over Woodland Chasm. And if you're ever NOT the problem ;) - Blasphemous Edict could easily be a win-con with how wide this goes. Keep up the wicked min-maxing! 8D

Some thoughts:

• Ghoulcaller's Chant is really bad and should either be Unearth or Chthonian Nightmare

• Tragic Slip is also very weak and should likely be Fatal Push.

• Grave Titan has too high a mana cost to ever be worth playing imo, i’d suggest ditching it.

• Undead Augur is a better version of Midnight Reaper

• this deck really feels like it wants a playset of Carrion Feeder

• Relentless Dead feels too weak to play at-all. And personally i’d never run more than 2 copies of Death Baron because most of the time it’ll just be bad (it’s only situationally good in grindy games where both players have amassed a wide boardstate… which almost never happens).
