Since you're open to spot removal I'd recommend Water Wings, Turn Aside or even Counterspell. Since you're playing pauper you might as well play something like Brainstorm or Ponder over Otherworldly Gaze.

Welcome to the club, jaliqai!

If you're aiming for Reanimator, you have a pretty solid base. For specific card suggestions, the main upgrade I see are for speed and efficiency. I suggest filling out the playset of Otherworldly Gazes, which let you dig deeper and faster than Dreams of Laguna. Think Twice isn't especially efficient here, so I would replace that with something else that lets you discard a big creature that's stuck in your hand, like Chart a Course or Macabre Waltz. Six reanimate cards is on the low side, so consider a couple more of those. And finally, Sephiroth's Intervention and Refute are pretty slow as removal/control. Look for more lower-cost options that do one thing well, instead of doing two things kind of okay.

But I can see the shape of this deck, and it looks pretty good. Above all, have fun!

I had the opportunity to run a few games today(and won 1!) with this deck and I definitively agree surveil is a great keyword to focus on for this deck, often couldn't stay on curve into Narset's engine on curve without one or two bigger spells already in the graveyard to cast for free.

Below changes made:

Curate> Preordain

Otherworldly Gaze > Serum Visions

Faithless Looting > Stormchaser's Talent (Maybe I'm missing something here, but this deck doesn't much care for recursion to hand and upgrading it doesn't trigger prowess/mage craft. Too expensive for a mediocre synergy)

Unauthorized Exit > Swords to Plowshares

Excise the Imperfect > Wear / Tear

Wheel of Fate > Lock and Load (Fantastic call, Lock and Load is a little slower and honestly is not an efficient finisher for the CMC slot it fills)

I like the cuts you made but it hurts to see Faithless Looting out. Made for this strategy.

Forbid > Counterspell

Curate > Preordain

Otherworldly Gaze > Serum Visions

Excise the Imperfect > Wear / Tear

Unauthorized Exit > Swords to Plowshares

I see that Inevitable Betrayal 0 CMC tech... No Wheel of Fate!?

I definitely agree that the counterspells feel out of place in the list. I think those are getting cut for more card selection/mill likely in the form of Otherworldly Gaze as its felt really good in testing. I think i could cut 2 slimes pretty easily but this is definitely meant to lean into the gimmick as much as possible so id like to avoid cutting any if i can. As for lands i think it could potentially use one or two more but you only ever need 3 mana and with the full set of Simic Growth Chamber, we hit 3 land drops pretty easily.

I definitely thought Otherworldly Gaze was a little weak to include at first but its honestly been killing it in an unrelated standard list of mine so you may be onto something Dogeatingchicken, ill have to do some testing with it in thislist because it certainly has great synergy with this deck.

You should try out Otherworldly Gaze! Seems like it'd fit amazing in the deck.

Some thoughts:

• the deck really needs the playset of Hedron Crab to help get the engine going - there’s a reason thus archtype is most-often called “crabvine”.

• you need the full playset of Stinkweed Imp.

• Rotting Rats, Grisly Salvage, Life from the Loam and Raven's Crime are all fairly bad here in that they’re relatively slow/clumsy for the deck (and a lot of them don’t proc the Vengevine reanimation triggers). Good replacements for those cards include the full playset of Satyr Wayfinder, as well as Merfolk Secretkeeper, Otherworldly Gaze, and maybe The Ancient One
