MTG Combo: Phyrexian Altar + Retribution of the Ancients

Razulghul on Is Mono-Black Reanimator really viable?

Some good tips here. Thanks everyone!

@SaberTech I ran both Triskelion and the new Crystalline Crawler when I had Mikaeus, the Unhallowed at commander. I didn't consider putting them in the yard and winning via instant Wake the Dead though. I'll reconsider that for sure, as well as Necrotic Ooze. I'm running both Phyrexian Altar + Retribution of the Ancients which allows any undying creature to go infinite (Geralf's Messenger or any creature with Mikaeus out) do you think this is a strong enough combo to focus a black deck on or should I stick to creature only combos since they are easier to recur?

@PhotogenicParasympathetic Thats a good point about Grave Titan, I passed on him when I cut Nim Deathmantle but I'll reconsider I think.

If I decide to go with Chainer, Dementia Master/Sheoldred, Whispering One/Mikaeus, the Unhallowed or replace Erebos, God of the Dead at general should I cut creatures in favor of draw like Sign in Blood, Night's Whisper and/or shoot for 8 or 9 tutors?
