Testing out some new cards:
Tayam, Luminous Enigma in the place of Reveillark. Lark was primarily for recursion or for looping combos with sub power 2 creatures in and out of Hulk combos. Reveillark wasn't explicitly needed for Hulk lines, as Karmic Guide + Viscera Seer/Carrion Feeder, then Saffi Eriksdotter + Blood Artist + Grand Abolisher still does the same job since you can use Saffi to return Guide, and Guide to return Saffi. Tayam can return destroyed Altars, Earthcraft, etc., and during Ghave lines can be used to dig directly into things like Corpse Knight to end the game. Similarly, Tayam has some lines that can be used here, as an Undying creature, another creature of any typo, plus Tayam and Ashnod's Altar can go infinite and dig to Blood Artist all the while. Carrion Feeder + Earthcraft + an Undying creature + Tayam also goes infinite, and there are several other lines that can be naturally utilized that overlap with existing Ghave combos, but due to Tayam's ability to recur necessary combo pieces, ability to dig to an immediate win during other Ghave lines, and ability to combo itself, Tayam is taking Reveillark's place at this time. Perhaps if I shell out $70 for an Allosaurus Shepherd then Devoted Druid, it, and Tayam would make a compact infinite line.
Testing Toski, Bearer of Secrets in the place of Yawgmoth. Simply swinging tokens/etc., seems more reliable than expending resources to draw a la Yawgmoth, though Yawgmoth can function as removal against mana dorks and low toughness Commanders.
Squirrel Nest was re-added, Sanctum Weaver is being tested in place of Priest of Titania.
This deck is still straddling the line of "high power," but still aiming to be a fun and combo-filled Ghave with loads of resilience.
