When using cards cards like Pestilence, I find the filter lands come in handy: Twilight Mire.

Now you have a few options to upgrade Llanowar Dead: Ornithopter of Paradise, Llanowar Loamspeaker, Sanctum Weaver, Sylvan Caryatid, and Biophagus.

I think that Llanowar Dead would be a nice reprint for this set.

Also, the fact that WotC is reprinting many new cards in the older frame style annoys me, since there are numerous cards in the old frame that have not yet been reprinted in the new frame.

May I suggest Llanowar Dead As a zombie player, this was a cool find

At last, there is a card of Nevinyrral, and he is very impressive, as he should be! I like how he has synergy with his own disk, which makes sense.

Juri now has a card, as well, but I wonder why WotC waited until now to give her a card, instead of making Judith and Exava in the previous Ravnica blocks.

Necrotic hex is a flavor fail; it makes each player sacrifice six creatures and then creates six tokens, but it costs 7 mana to cast.

I am glad to see Generous Gift being reprinted in this set, and I hope that this means that WotC will never again reprint Beast Within, since the latter card is a color pie break.

Elvish dreadlord is a very nasty card, and I know that I will not wish to be on the receiving end of its effect, but its name sounds like something from Warcaft.

Llanowar abomination is amazing, and any elf deck that contains the colors black and green will want it, but I do wish that it has been a Lorwyn/Shadowmoor elf, since the dark and creepy atmosphere of the card would work better on that plane.

On that subject, I really would like to see a reprint of Llanowar Dead, since that card has never been reprinted, before.

Araumi is very nice, with how he or she (the name sounds feminine) can grant encore to creatures, which will be best with creatures that have abilities that trigger when they enter the battlefield.

Skull Prophet would diversify your mana base slightly more than Llanowar Dead. It would help you play a Ripjaw Raptor if you only had one green land.

Sporeweb Weaver is interesting, too. It works well with Rite of Passage. Even without it, you can make a single chump blocker every turn. Reach is a nice bonus.

This deck isn't modern legal due to Llanowar Dead and Wellwisher. Also, what is the strategy of the deck? Savra, Queen of the Golgari works in a sacrifice deck, but you only have 2 cards that actually sacrifice creatures.

multimedia, I could replace two copies of Deathrite Shaman with Llanowar Dead, but I still like the shaman, since its other abilities are very useful, and there is also the mana curve of my deck to consider, since replacing the shaman with the dead will increase the mana curve of this deck.

Cutting Leyline of Vitality is a good choice. 28 lands is a lot of lands. This amount is what a control deck would use and those decks have card draw and filtering. This is a midrange deck, 25 lands seems good enough especially if you play mana dorks and keep the mana curve lower.

Play Deathrite and Llanowar Dead? This gives you more chances to ramp into turn three Liege. 4x Llanowar and 3-4x Deathrite are numbers to consider playtesting. Llanowar seems better here than Deathrite because Llanowar is consistent ramp where as Deathrite isn't. You want to build around the idea of getting lands into your graveyard to use Deathrite as ramp. Unfortunately, not taking enough advantage of self-mill or Fetch lands for Deathrite to be a consistent ramp source. Adding 4x Grisly Salvage and 4x Evolving Wilds or another Fetch land would help.
