I made my first Reainmator deck and it could use some work. Opinions/suggestions please?

I don't think you see the beauty in the deck, nor how it works. Red is splashed for Faithless Looting and Wild Guess . Myojin of Infinite Rage can be reanimated T2, then pop the counter off and stall for another couple turns while pounding them for 7. Also, he isn't meant to be cast from the hand lol
I can drop Mirror Gallery down to a 2 or 3 of. Entomb isn't the only way to get creatures in the graveyard.

"comes into play with a divinity counter on it if you played it from your hand" You don't get the counter if you reanimate him. So without the counter it's a slightly larger Craw Wurm .

And what I meant with Entomb was that it's your only source of tutoring. So outside of specifically drawing a to pair with Entomb , you're running 4 cards on the corner case that you might draw a pair of only another 4 cards in the whole deck. Granted there's a fair amount of looting involved here as well, but I just think there are better things you be doing with those card slots.

When my friend played me with his Graveborn deck, he always complained about not being able to discard creatures from his hand. The lootings help not only with discarding creatures but with card draw, something black and red lack.

No doubt, I'm not against that method in the least. It sure beats the usual way of getting guys in the yard by skipping a turn to discard. I just was saying that even with the looting and Entomb that Mirror Gallery is still fairly likely to be irrelevant sometimes.

Hence why I dropped it. Take a look at the new version

Looks nice, really like the Blazing Archon it has potential to blank decks, much like Iona, Shield of Emeria .
A few other classic reanimate creatures to consider (depending on how evil you want the deck to be): Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur , Sphinx of the Steel Wind , Angel of Despair , Sundering Titan , Terastodon

Myojin of Infinite Rage seems way out of place. I don't see you often casting that from hand, especially not off 20 lands - you'd have to have drawn 30 cards on average - and it's pretty unexciting as a vanilla 7/4 to cheat into play. There's so many better and more abusive cards to be reanimating.
I'd also recommend dropping a few, or even all, of the Mirror Gallery . It's useless in doubles and it's already pretty marginally useful with only 4 creatures in the whole deck that care about it. Sure the dream is to blank most decks with double Iona, Shield of Emeria , but even with Entomb that seems pretty corner case for taking up 4 card slots.
