Notes
 
Here's the plan, flood the playing field with quick and angry white creatures and get out the Xahtrid Necromancer turn 3 if able. This makes every creature respawnable to an extent. Each time a human dies out comes a Zombie which in several cases is even more durable than the original creature. If there are multiple Xathrid Necromancers out I get more than one zombie per human that dies.

Brimaz added simply for the creature size and the token spawning.

Banisher priests allow me to also exile some of my opponents creatures as well, helping to keep my creatures alive. I think this is pretty well rounded to perform well.

    My deck worked great for me today won the tournament 3 rounds undefeated. First round was against a red agrro deck I won 2-1, and the second round was against a Simic deck again I won 2-1, 3rd round was against mono-black again 2-1. It played very well and I ended up winning 18 Born of the Gods Boosters since it was a small tournament.

      Awesome dude! I'm a sucker for white weenie, so this looks sick.

    It seems pretty good!. One thought. What is your intent for Orzhov Charm? Its a really mediocre kill spell, so it must be for the Reanimate effect. If it's purely for the Reanimate effect, I would suggest Immortal Servitude. for for 4 mana it Orzhov Charms all of your 1-drops back, and is even flexible in the range @ which you cast it. I would humbly suggest breaking up the Orzhov Charms into 2 Immortal Servitudes, and 2 Ultimate Price.

      The Orzhov gives me choices I can destroy an enemies creature or return my own creature prior to it dying and the auras upon it. It proved very useful in the rounds.
