I loaded this up on Cockatrice and am really liking it. Fester Creep with Mikaeus out is kinda nuts. I'm surprised you're not running Death Denied and Murder in your list. Both are really solid additions for any MBC list. Death Wind might be an alternative to Disembowel if you encounter a lot creatures with indestructable or regeneration.
I've been looking for DD, I had a foil one from way back but I haven't been able to locate it. Death Wind probably would be a good swap thanks for the heads up. I do still need a Gravedigger for this though, currently Wicked Akuba is a place holder.
Played in a 5-man game on Friday vs. Nicol Bolas, Zedruu, Merieke and Molimo all of which were non-pauper/peasant. Molimo scooped out. I took out Merieke and Nicol Bolas and the Zedruu player used Stranglehold, Nevermore (naming Mikey) and combat taxing effects. Gravedigger was an all star in the deck allowing me to tutor with The Dude 6 times before Stranglehold came down.

Gasp and Map didn't go enough in the deck to be worth inclusion. BC was too awkward and the combo just wasn't great. Spinters, Rite and Harvest many times were dead because I had nothing on board when I had them in hand.
I'm looking for something to replace Heartstabber Mosquito I would like to add another Gravedigger variant in it's place. Pilgrim's Eye has been very solid in testing to ensure land drops or to fuel raven's crime.

Looks like a fun list. I'm surprised you're not running disturbed burial, which IMO is something no black pauper/peasant list should be without, as it facilitates a closed mana/creature resurrection loop. That would definitely be on my docket for a mosquito replacement.
Trying to remember that card has been bugging me for a week. Thank you Dolono.
I do have to say that Veilborn Ghoul and Twisted Abomination are amazing in this deck, they are the only french-vanilla creatures in the deck and they are work horses.
EDITS: Made room for Blood Artist and Falkenrath Noble, working on making room for Soul Snuffers. Noble and Artist make this deck more obnoxious, give me reach and lifegain that I sorely need. Soul Snuffers reset undying from Mikaeus. The only problem I forsee is the limited nature of the combo, I can only pull off the Snuffers 5 times a turn. If only there was a way to keep Mikaeus from getting counters.

List Update: Took out the fetches for swamps, they were only good with Veilborn Ghoul so not worth the trouble. Removed Necromantic Thirst for Bloodflow Connoisseur and Dementia Bat for Skinrender. Cut Akuba for Gravedigger and Nameless Inversion for Death Denied.
