Sedris was the second EDH/Commander Deck that I made. It started off as a goofy big janky creature reanimation deck. However, after playing many games with the deck, I would reanimate the goofy creatures less and just combo with kiki-jiki and pestermite more. Currently, that is the deck's main focus: get kiki-jiki combo online as fast as possible. I am always looking to learn of cards that can make the deck more competitive and consistent. Feedback is always welcome as is reasonable criticism.
*Note - my playgroup just agreed to sideboards so I am looking for suggestions here*
I feel that you have too much reanimation spells and not enough stuff to reanimate. Perhaps you should cut some of the CMC 5 ones such as Torrent of Souls and Beacon of Unrest. On the same point, All Hallow's Eve don't seem so powerful in your deck.
It's still not colorless, and has no color. That's a paradox. So either you're a Zen master or an idiot, I'll assume the Zen master for sake of argument. This card will have no paradoxes because it has a clear paradox. Deep stuff man.
I will 100% agree the deck is very fragile to non-basic land loss effects. I do think creeping tar pit can be cut. As for the other lands that produce all three colors, i want to try them out a little first; if they don't do as much as i hoped or make reflecting pool worthwhile then i will cut them. Would it be as good to cut the shadowmoor filter lands?
zealous conscript is a good addition; i will have to pick a copy up. can never have too much of a one-trick pony deck.
you are probably correct about there being too many reanimation effects and not enough creatures. i think the order i will cut them would be all hollow's eve, torrent of souls and beacon.
i've been relying mostly on capsize to deal with the kinds of problem cards you mention or goblin bombardment/altar of dementia. crosis's charm is really powerful though, so i think that would be a great add. thanks.
Personally, I don't really like the filter lands in your deck since you do have plenty of colourless mana source in you deck, and you don't really need to curve double black into triple red for instance. I would suggest for you to include Signets in your deck however, to filter the colourless mana into coloured mana.

i took out 2 of the filter lands and added in basics; i kept graven cairns as i have a lot of double black spells. I also like the art (future sight version).

also, retooled the decklist to be in alphabetical order under each card type section for ease of reading/making changes.
removed desperate ravings. The cheap card draw was awesome but the random discard was just slightly too disruptive for me. i feel steam augury will be allow more control over this.
only need a couple specific ones to win. if for some reason you can't get there with reanimate spells/casting them normally.. sedris comes in and unearths them, as a last minute resort.

Why not add Rune-Scarred Demon and Sphinx of Lost Truth to give your reanimation spells more utility? Also, Zealous Conscript gives you more redundancy with the Splinter-twin combo. Crosis Charm is pretty useful to deal with Moat, Ghostly Prison and other cards that can interfere with your main combo.
