Less: Boneyard Wurm , Golgari Grave-Troll , Lotleth Giant , Stitcher's Supplier , Glowspore Shaman , Mycoloth , Skirge Familiar , Birthing Pod , Forever Young , Vigor Mortis

And the reason Eternal is showing as illegal is cause' all of the MH2 stuff isn't out yet.

My reasoning is less efficient cards that happen to be insects make for more Grist, and if you've got a certain insect density, you don't really need other dredge sources.

Have you ever heard of Skirge Familiar ? I run a Yawgmoth deck of my own, and the Familiar is an absolute unit in it!

Looks good! +1 upvote from me.

You could consider adding some of the new Kaldheim cards. There is a good amount of zombie tribal support in that set (like Rise of the Dread Marn & Narfi, Betrayer King for example).

Other card suggestions are Living Death , which could combo with your Scarab God (You can exile any good creatures in your opponent's graveyards and then Living Death to get all the good stuff on your board). Another good option could be Ashnod's Altar to use with all of the tokens you're making. Skirge Familiar can also get some of your reanimation targets like Jin and Sheoldred into your graveyard for the Scarab God to make tokens of. As for your mana rock package, I would consider adding in Coalition Relic since it is a great little mana rock that will do a lot more for you than some of the rocks you already have at 3 cmc like Chromatic Lantern . Finally I would consider adding Night's Whisper to go with your Sign in Blood . You could either replace the Sign in Blood with it or just run both depending.

Hopefully those suggestions are helpful. Happy brewing!

Thermopod might be a decent consideration to go with the sacrifice theme. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is also a good option though a bit more tough on the budget. You could also add in Animate Dead and Dance of the Dead to add to your reanimator value stuff (if you lean more into that angle then Skirge Familiar becomes a pretty good option as well). You also probably know about these cards but Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar are always awesome in a sac deck. Additionally, to go with your lands sacrifice theme Harrow is a great option for ramp. Lastly as a little throw in a bit of a pet card for me that goes great in a sacrifice deck is Rankle, Master of Pranks .

I hope my suggestions are helpful! I like where you're going with this list, +1 upvote from me.

Faith of the Devoted can go infinite with Skirge Familiar if you’re into combos. Has decent general value during cleanup step too

Skirge Familiar is a great discard outlet that provides ramp in return; ditch 5 creatures for 5, or however much to cast that reanimate spell. Lotleth Troll lets you ditch creatures, and is low on the mana curve - great in the early game to get the discard started. I run both in my Kathril deck for filling the yard. Zombie Infestation lets you discard while establishing a board state early on.

1. Pay 4{C}2{B} to cast Demonlord Belzenlok .

2. Exile any black card not necessary to the combo to cast Unmask on yourself discarding Phantasmagorian .

3. Discard Skirge Familiar , Dread Return , and any other non-combo card to return Phantasmagorian hand.

4. Cast Deepwood Legate for free. If none of your opponents control a Forest , you will need: one extra {B} and two additional activations of Phantasmagorian 's ability (discarding 6 non-combo cards) to be able to fully delve into Sibsig Muckdraggers . Sibsig Muckdraggers ’s trigger requires an additional creature be present in your graveyard in order to avoid returning Skirge Familiar to your hand. Dross Golem can also be used here in place of Deepwood Legate .

5. Cast Hollow One for free.

6. Flashback Dread Return by sacrificing Demonlord Belzenlok , Hollow One and Deepwood Legate to return Skirge Familiar to the battlefield.

7. Use Skirge Familiar 's ability to discard Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon , Lotus Guardian , Endling , Cinderhaze Wretch , and Dread to add 5{B}. -- Skirge Familiar can generate mana to cast Meteor Golem to deal with direct threats to the win condition.

8. Pay to cast Necrotic Ooze . If Necrotic Ooze gets countered, return it using Makeshift Mannequin or Sibsig Muckdraggers .

9. Pay to give Necrotic Ooze haste (courtesy of Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon ).

10. Tap Necrotic Ooze to add {B} (courtesy of Lotus Guardian ).

11. Pay to give Necrotic Ooze undying (courtesy of Endling ).

12. Alternate between Lotus Guardian 's and Cinderhaze Wretch 's abilities until Necrotic Ooze dies to add 2{B}. Once Necrotic Ooze comes back with a +1/+1 counter via undying, pay to give it haste and undying (again) then continue to alternate between Lotus Guardian 's and Cinderhaze Wretch 's abilities until Necrotic Ooze dies to add 4{B}. Repeat this process until you have infinite {B}.

--- Optional: Give Necrotic Ooze infinite +1/+1, haste, undying, menace, and deathtouch from Deepwood Legate , Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon , and Endling . Then use both of Cinderhaze Wretch 's abilities to make all your opponents discard their hands.

Finally, use the infinite {B} mana to cast Syr Konrad, the Grim , continue generating infinite mana with Necrotic Ooze , Cinderhaze Wretch , and Lotus Guardian , and bleed out all of your opponents from the infinite undying triggers. Syr Konrad, the Grim 's ability can also be used to mill everybody else at the table. Dread hitting the graveyard and immediately leaving will also trigger damage.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion can also be discarded with Skirge Familiar and then reanimated using Living Death for an alternate win condition.

I recently added Lotleth Troll to my list, for some more focused creature discarding. Skirge Familiar is also great for this.
