New Twist on Old Archetype

Standard forum

I've made a similar post before, but the following cards together in a deck can set up some insane things:

Faithless Looting Unburial Rites Heartless Summoning Havengul Lich

Why hasn't this been exploited yet? Can I get some good suggestions on the cards that break this? (particularly looking for some kind of combo-ing out/reanimator thing)

why not just use Reanimate or Exhume instead of Unburial Rites?

Keeping it within the standard format, otherwise I would. I also found that Travis Woo made some dimir high-tide-ish deck that seems both similar and fun.

5-Color Rites seems like a rough build to make. I think it hasn't been used because Junk Rites gets a lot done with Thragtusk and Restoration Angel, while staying at only three colors.

Human Reanimator is the current go-to build if you're playing more than four colors in Reanimator.
