As much as I dislike planeswalkers for more than one go around, thoughts on Sorin to just throw someone to ten? Also LVess over Grim Tutor? I dunno if you have $150 cards laying around, but I don't! And possible reusability.
Oh nope! You already thought about vess. In that case, Yawgmoth's Will?

Yeah, I have Grim and a Seal. May as well put them to use.
Not going to mark this as a primer? Im wracking my mind trying to come up with some sort of suggestion for this but not much is coming to me. Maybe Necropotence or Sorin Markov?

Every rarity gets good cards. That means that some mythic rares will be tournament quality as will some commons, some uncommons and some rares. My promise wasn't that mythic rares wouldn't get good cards but that we wouldn't limit the good cards to only being mythic rare.
Bear this in mind the next time a powerful mythic rare is spoiled

This does seem like the sort of deck that wants Necropotence. Hmm.
Also, I forgot to address the YawgWin suggestion above. I guess the obvious problem is that it prevents me from going off the same turn I cast it, which is incredibly awkward.

I just noticed that you don't have Grave Titan on the list. He could pump out a lot of tokens very quickly thatll all be 3/3 or more plus hes a good guy to have around in general

Cinderhaze wretch is baws in this...that is just quite sick actually, especially with boots or greaves out.
Hmm...isn't there a card that can utilize you're +1/+1 counters, by removing them, so that you can trigger undying again?
...everything in the section titled "Creatures that like Mikaeus?" This is a straight combo list.
And a pretty scary one at that. Props to viper for another great list. I couldn't come up with any suggestions right offhand, other than Tatterkite if you really needed another creature to sac repeatedly. Doesn't seem like much of an issue, though.

Black sun's zenith might also deserve a look to reset your dudes.
That's a bit awkward, they can't have +1/+1 counters on them and you cant go above 4.
Mikaues isn't exactly fragile though, and you don't need to wait a turn to start doing shenanigans. There's not so much that can be done to protect the combo pieces other than what he has, boots, recursion. Other than that, there's sundial, black's "counterspells", defense grid. Hmm, not sure, the pieces feel safe to me, imo.

I'm a little confused by what you mean...I just found it useful since it is a reusable wrath effect that can be used to remove +1/+1 counters in a pinch

I'm going to resort to my favourite refrain in the Ghave thread: not broken enough. I could be spamming 3/3s, or I could be winning the game.

Tatterkite is a good one, actually, and one I completely forgot about. I'll get it right in there.
Also, as u-579 said, look into shriekmaw? Evoke for a kill spell AND a 4/2?
Tempting. The problem, I guess, is that it only does that once Mikaeus is out, at which point I'd like to think I'm doing more ridiculous things than this. I'll see once I actually get a chance to use the deck.
I feel like I need more ramp. Any good suggestions? My brain is a bit frazzled right now, so I'm sure I missed some obvious stuff.
Mana Vault and Grim Monolith? Your list looks like hitting Mickey and comboing off in the same turn would be ideal, and those both work as a ritual without burning a card when you're inevitably disrupted. A good chunk of your sac fodder and outlets are colorless as well.

Well if you kill the things with undying with BSZ, at the same time they have the +1/+1 counters the -1/-1 counters don't cancel them out before they die. That's what I'm trying to say, but I feel you knew this the entire time.

Hmm, he does seem good! Have to find one. Cauldron's absence was a CTRL-V error, fixed now.

Power conduit maybe?
since the kill is on ETB you actually get to kill two things and a 4/2 for 1B

Mikeaus + Creature that ETB with -1/-1 (Carnifex Demon) + Disciple of Grislebrand for 1: Gain X Life.
Just a thought on the sac outlet thing.
