With Haruspex, whenever one of your creatures dies, you get to draw a card, no life loss at all
They provide ideal targets for Lagorin, Soul of Alacrias ability while also going wide to maximize the impact of Veteran Beastrider
Cards from those sets with the following names are basic lands and have received errata in the Oracle card reference accordingly: Forest, Island, Mountain, Plains, Swamp, Snow-Covered Forest, Snow-Covered Island, Snow-Covered Mountain, Snow-Covered Plains, and Snow-Covered Swamp
They have Fable of the Mirror-Breaker and planeswalkers that generate a lot of value, so you have to be aggressive, but your deck is not the most well-equipped to do that
It wasn't terrible but it just didn't do what you wanted it to
Looting and making a Treasure for two mana seems great in a reanimation or graveyard deck where you can pitch your Atraxa or Titan of Industry and ramp toward your reanimation spell a turn earlier
