The basic premise is simple: Card advantage everywhere. Anything put into graveyards is fair game. My graveyard is basically a 2nd hand, so I don't care how much goes in there. In fact, more often than not, half your cards are sitting in your graveyard. The single Elixir seems to be enough to prevent accidental decking of yourself. Filling my graveyard means more stuff to use and abuse. But it isn't as if you ever run out of cards in hand, anyway. Rarely do I have less than a full grip, and often I'm overfull, discarding at end of turn, which again, really just means putting them somewhere I can get to them easier, later.
.................................
Cards on the chopping block: Artisan of Kozilek - never quite pans out the way I want it to. I've cast him many times, and always gotten a back-up friend with it. But it really needs to be swapped for a Legendary Eldrazi. However, I'm hesitant to do so, simply because shuffling my graveyard back into my library can actually hurt me at times. The debate rages on.
Mortivore - Its a classic lhurgoyf, but it never seems to pull its weight. Giving The Mimeoplasm regen is nice, but I'm usually wishing it did something more.
Butcher of Malakir - Honestly don't know what I'll put in its place. Big body + deterrent should equal good, but again, I've always just wished he was something different when I'm holding him in hand or deciding on him as a reanimation target. He may just get cut in favor of just more utility things.
