Thanks for the kind words! I am still trying to get this dialed in. Have made a few changes since your comment. Looking for solid ideas and feedback.

I agree with taking out Thopter Assembly that it is slow. Have you thought about using Myr Battlesphere or Siege-Gang Commander? Both are suitable replacements and give you dudes now! One creature I didn't see on your list is Phraika's Mender. I think she'd be pretty good for the sac/reanimate plan. Also, Heartstone with Sculpting Steel turns your "Ninja" into a machine gun!

I like Heartstone better than Sculpting Steel. What to trade out? and which artifacts I would double would be key to making me jump on that. I just switched out Thran Turbine out for Mycosynth Wellspring

Pharika's Mender looks ok actually as when I started this build my win conditions were light so I decided with Geth and Lim I could just try to use others win condition creatures agaisnt themselves. That being said with Mimic Vat I can still do that, and now I have better win conditions on my side so Pharika's Mender might be a good swap for Geth or Lim Dul. I'll have to think about it. I wish it was an activated ability instead of a one time effect. I have also tried hard to stay away from the token theme, and away from ETB effects and been concentrating on enter the graveyard effects.

Bloodghast has a little bit more reliable return than Bloodsoaked Champion, or at least costs less mana. Up to you though.
Animate Dead is very good and surprisingly not very well known.
Krenko, Mob Boss provides a lot of free sac tokens and can easily spiral out of control if the opponent isn't careful.
Kresh the Bloodbraided is a Shattergang staple.
Pawn of Ulamog is very good because he essentially makes le Shattergang cost 
to activate.

I like Pawn of Ulamog for his mana costs and ability but again thats more of a token theme as well as Krenko, Mob Boss, and I am not running many goblins...Kresh is a BA, but for 5 CMC I just feel he is too expensive and too easy to remove. I love Bloodghast, and would swap him for Brood of Cockroaches, Brood of Cockroaches, or even Sprouting Thrinax. If I went tokens I would swap in Dark Prophecy in and Harvester of Souls, and Grim Haruspex would probably need to go. Thanks for the suggestions!

Animate Dead is so you can steal that one amazing creature sitting in an opponent's graveyard.

Sever the Bloodline, there are no more than one creature with a certain name in commander games.

token hate! I have had serious problems with big token armies who can sac little guys all day. It also allows me to kill off indestructible problem creatures....

Increasing Ambition is a kind of crappy tutor imho, too high CMC. If nothing else, List of EDH Tutor Cards will give some good alternatives.
Tymaret, the Murder King is weak as well, he competes with the Brothers for sac targets and doesn't really have good synergy with anything in particular.
Abrupt Decay is not that good in Commander because most of the combo parts in the EDH meta use >3 mana cards.
If nothing else, you could probably remove a land because your CMC is pretty low and a lot of good EDH decks use 35-38 lands.

I don't have an animate dead yet. Strongly considering, and thanks for chiming in guys!

Animate Dead Krosan Grip in. I don't feel Tymaret, the Murder King is weak in this build as Shattergang gets targeted alot and gets really exspensive to get out. He provides a recurring sac outlet to trigger dictate, grim haruspex, dark prophecy, and the like for 2.

Courser of Kruphix in and Mycosynth Wellspring out

I am thinking lifegain of some kind might be worth looking into to keep me in the game a bit longer. I got worked by a Kalia deck today before I made a bunch of changes. I had too much mana working. The removal of the two lands and the addition of a few more card draw cards and Kruphix should help to keep the lands on the table and reduce dead draws I am hoping.

If you want to keep the comments a little cleaner, you can use the update area up above. That being said, thanks for the updates, I like them.
