So the first EDH deck I put together was my Grimgrin, Cropse-Born deck. It is a lot of fun and I enjoy playing it, but I can't help but feel that a lot of time it's either the deck goes off with Rooftop Storm or it just kinda stalls. I'm looking for any help / suggestions for cards that people think would help improve it. This is more of a "slow grow" project for me, so I don't mind spending some money on cards. That being said, it's the most "casual" of my decks, so I'm not really looking to drop $50+ on any one card.
I took out infinite damage from the deck, and nobody in my play group enjoyed it, including myself. Diregraf Captian was replace with Fatesticher. I left in infinite Grimgrin counters with Rooftop Storm and Gravecrawler however, since you actually have to connect with Grimgrin for it to work, and he's easily killed/chumped.
I also plan on adding some of the more "essential" mana rocks (Sol Ring, Coalition Relic, maybe Darksteel Ingot/ Mana Vault), as well non-basic land (Strip Mine, Homeward Path)
One of my buddy play infinite Grimgrin. We believe that his deck will be much more powerful if he cut the less powerful zombie and focus more on control respect.
I can't see how can Dimir Aqueduct be an upgrade from Drowned Catacombs or Levitation from Wonder.

I'm sorry this post is so long, I didn't have time to make it shorter.
Did I format it wrong? I mean that Drowned Catacombs is going in and Dimir Aqueduct is going out, and the same for Wonder/Levitation
I see... The "X -> Y" format is quite confusing in my opinion because you can either read it as I will replace X by Y or I will replace Y by X. However, I tend to see it as the first read.

A few notes:
I took out infinite damage from the deck, and nobody in my play group enjoyed it, including myself. Diregraf Captian was replace with Fatesticher. I left in infinite Grimgrin counters with Rooftop Storm and Gravecrawler however, since you actually have to connect with Grimgrin for it to work, and he's easily killed/chumped.
Some swaps I'm planning on/thinking of:
-Drowned Catacombs--> Dimir Aqueduct, once the new set comes out and they aren't so expensive :/
-Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth --> Swamp
-Damnation --> Plague Winds
-Wonder --> Levitation? Not sure on this one.
-Secrets of the Dead has never worked for me. Thinking of taking it out, though not sure for what.
Anyway, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
I can't see how can Dimir Aqueduct be an upgrade from Drowned Catacombs or Levitation from Wonder.
