MTG Combo: Life from the Loam + Raven's Crime

you need to choose the style of dredge your playing first. as this deck seems a little confused.
example
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is great if you have creatures on the board, less so by herself. and Life from the Loam + Raven's Crime can be fantastic hand disruption
some examples of deck builds are
1) Unburial Rites/reanimate win con (example: dredge ooze, Legacy manaless dredge)
2) resurrection (example: dredgevine)
3) tokens (example: hyper dredge)

reanimate win con tends to be slower but generally non interactive. most popular in legacy due to Dread Return

resurrection is all about ignoring removal (save exile) and using your graveyard as an extra hand to hold as many options as possible creatures like Bloodghast and Gravecrawler tend to be in the majority of builds.

finally token dredge is only just beginning to see play and is heavily influenced by the release of shadows over innistrad block and is mostly untested but is having fun with Bridge from Below and Prized Amalgam.

here are some links to useful decks

If you're milling yourself some cards with Retrace and Dredge would be good additions. Life from the Loam + Raven's Crime is a nice combo.

Life from the Loam + Raven's Crime is very very good.

Also I highly recommend using Smallpox and then setting up your lands so that you will always have access to on turn 2. This can be done by elimenating all lands that don't produce .

Basically for shocks I would want nothing but Overgrown Tomb and Godless Shrine. If you throw in 4x your 4x Verdant Catacombs and 3x Marsh Flats give you an artificial 11 sources this way which should be adequate.
