Hello all. I built a Teneb reanimator deck awhile ago and I've been making some cuts and changes. As of now, I am currently six cards over 100 and I honestly have no idea what I should cut. He's the decklist:
Abyssal Gatekeeper seems pretty weak compared to Fleshbag Marauder. You shouldn't have to wait until it dies for that kind of effect...your opponents could easily find a way to nullify it or use it to their advantage.
I recently cut Necrotic Sliver from my Karador deck. A six-mana Vindicate is pretty bad when you can get a leftover 5/5 flyer for one more mana, or just play the original Vindicate for three less mana.
Hell's Caretaker has the unfortunate setback of only being active on your upkeep. That's too big of a limit for me.
I also cut Attrition because the "non-black" clause became a real issue.
Finally, if I had to make one more cut, I'd go with Sorin Markov. He's not a bad card, but he has absolutely no synergy with the rest of your deck.
My first gut instincts are Lotus Cobra (it's kinda meh in general), Exhume (better with fast discard and early game before opponents have scary things also), Witchbane Orb (I get that it is to help prevent gy hate but it's just overall weak), Academy Rector (what is so necessary to tutor?), and Abyssal Gatekeeper (it is worse than fleshbag). You may also consider Diabolic Servitude as repeatable recursion.

I've never been in love with Lotus Cobra in multiplayer. He has to stick around to generate value. Granted, he can generate a lot of value, but there's no guarantee.
Worldly tutor is kinda "meh" with access to all of :symg:'s other creature tutors, not to mention :symb:'s everything tutors. I LOOOOVE cheap tutors, and EOT shenanigans can always be nice, but it's definitely one of the weaker tutors with what you have access to in your colors.
Witchbane Orb. I've never found this a necessary effect. YMMV.
