So which do i drop?

First and foremost, decktags or cards tag works wonders to help us help you. (to do them, type [deck][/deck] or [cards][/cards] around your list to hyperlink em.

Second. you have SO many 1 of's, i'm assuming you dont have a large card pool due to the number of 1 ofs, so let's refine the idea.

- skull fracture + raven's crime (better overall, as it always costs 1 B (and occasionally a land, but your curve seems to top at 7 with bolas, who could be dropped in favor of something less costly cmc wise, and a better choice...

Although i dont know what your card pool looks like, it'd definitely help

Charmbreakers dont play it from the GY, so they could go. Prince of Thralls doesn't really help your point, so he can go, along with his servant Demon's Herald. If you really want to abuse the whole aspect of playing things from the GY, i suggest a persist enabler to taper with your undying triggers (and an undying enabler to taper with your persisters)

Cauldron Haze and Mikaues, the Unhallowed work well, for this, or you can use Cauldron of Souls

First of all, I agree with pretty much everything Ravarshi said, except for the Persist, which is not in Extended. Also, Skull Fracture and Raven's Crime aren't in Extended, so that should be dropped.

This deck feels like Burning Vengeance + Aggro, which doesn't seem particularly consistent to me. It has a very demanding schedule and it needs exactly the right lands at exactly the right time. This is true of pretty much any three colour deck, but when you're running four copies of Fire-Field Ogre next to a single copy of Geralf's Messenger, what does your mana base look like?

I don't mean that as a rhetorical question; I'd actually like to see your mana base. Are you running Crumbling Necropolis or Terramorphic Expanse or do you have a bunch of rare lands?

I'd consider making this a Modern deck. It would open the door to Retrace and Persist.

Charm Breaker Devils definitely needs to go if you are playing flashbacks.
