If you're looking for mill and a win con. Might want to consider this combo: Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void

Snake Cult Initiation and any cephalid. Cephalid Constable can be dangerous in particular. Ghastlord of Fugue maybe (Lovecraft stuff just seems like it should have unblockable and make people discard cards...). Phyrexian Ingester
I need to make a happy, pretty Dreamlands deck to combat the horrible Elder Gods decks i see...

Thanks for comments :) Cosmic horror has pretty nice flavor but maybe otherwise it is too powerless :/ yeah, I should try helm+leyline combo :) but Helm's art isn't just right, need dark flavor stuff. Oh god, I forgot Ghaslord and Phyrexian Ingester, I definitely put them in!

Snake Cult Initiation is nice :) Cephalids have good things, but artwork is a little pit too colorfull. Guiltfeeder is nice example for tentacles ;)

lol Cosmic Horror sounds like something to Zedruu away! Has anyone made a Horror-tribal deck?

I have been trying to make a deck like this for ages but have never gotten around to it +1

Undead Alchemist? You get some tokens plus you mill from those tokens. +1 for theme.

Yo where's the OG of rituals at? Dark Ritual ? ALSO

I think that rituals are useless in edh :/ I can only use them once. Only ritual which I might use is Midnight Ritual. Lorthos has great flavor, but its so high cmc. I have problems with my mana-curve and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth is must have in this deck when I get it so curve will rise even more... :/

Yeah I thought rituals were worthless too until I played with them a lot :P Dark Ritual at least may be worth a try, you can use it to get out your big guys and that flavor is spot on! also you could maybe add Nykthos, shrine to nix it fits flavorwise and can help you with mana

what about Chainer, Dementia Master, Bloodchief Ascension, Wake the Dead, and Necropotence?

As a major HP Lovecraft fanboy (his quotes are inked into my arms) I gotta say I love this deck! It would be amazing to repaint Lazav as the man himself.... Get to it!

OK, so Great Cthulhu= Wrexial, the Risen Deep. Yog-Sothoth= It That Betrays (in 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward', he is the Mythos deity invoked to return the dead). Azathoth= Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre (destroys things, indestructible). Nyarlathotep (Human Form)= Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker Herbert West, Re-Animator= Stitcher Geralf Nyarlathotep (Crawling Chaos Form)= Kozilek, Butcher of Truth. Shub-Niggurath, The Black Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young= Chasm Skulker (because tokens...) Hmmm....I'd suggest adding Expedition Map to aid you in summoning Marit Lage.

No Unspeakable Symbol or Dimir Signet to be the Elder Sign?
Myojin of Night's Reach is a powerful card that has a creepy otherworldly feel to it.
Nezumi Graverobber is a powerful gravehate / reanimation card that digs up bodies for living.
If you don't like rituals representing all those cultist's activities how bout some more altars? Altar of Shadows Altar of the Brood Altar of the Lost
Since you're having problems with ramp I've always thought Eldrazi Spawn and Migo were really similar Dread Drone Pawn of Ulamog Skittering Invasion Spawnsire of Ulamog
And lastly you said this was mill and reanimator, and I'm not seeing too much reanimator. Hell's Caretaker Animate Dead Diabolic Servitude and Zombify would be the best fits thematically, while Patriarch's Bidding is a potential powerhouse.

Come to think of it, you could also use Rise from the Grave, Body Double, Sepulchral Primordial and Geth, Lord of the Vault for reanimator effects, and Mindslicer and Syphon Mind are both powerful effects that are on point thematically.

Thank you for all suggestions :) Flavor is not the only thing what I looking for, cards must do stuff 'cause this is EDH, for example Nihilith has great artwork in here but it's not the best card in edh. So Unspeakable Symbol, Altar of Shadows (it's too slow) and Altar of the Lost (It doesn't do anything). Ramp is the problem and I have consired all eldrazi spawn producers, but I don't have any of those yet, some of them definitely goes in. And what comes reanimator, it's just "sideboard" effect, Mill and overpower creatures are wincon. I have Hell's Caretaker with old artwork and I don't like it, so when I get 9 edition I will make room for him, cause it's horror and reanimator and last on is Patriarch's Bidding very nice card, artwork is great and it can take all horror cards back. Only I need to figured out what I gonna discard away in this deck to make room better ones.
