This is a list I've been playing with for a little bit. A lot of the inspiration comes from thesetwo awesome Primers from Dies_to_Doom_Blade and razzliox. I plan to discuss more the choices and keep the deck updated as I play it more. Any suggestions are welcome. As I have more time I'll write more!
Any reason you took out It that Betrays?
While it's not as impactful late game in my experience when you're controlling the board more in your kind of deck it seems more solid.
However you have 3 different combos so it may not be needed.
Looking good so far though

Hey guys so I've actually moved on from commander on to 60 card decks so I don't have any commander decks.
Anyway I've started my own gameplay channel in which I play games (Magic also)
I'm thinking of putting him back in, but mostly I feel like I'm trying to dig or protect in this deck and he seems awkward with his combat trigger. But perhaps I'm underestimating his value.
I had a couple games the other night and was very fortunate to have performed well.
Second game I was the early target and found myself digging for Necromancy and Kederekt Leviathan to reset Arcum's crazy board. I was able to get control again and reanimated Karador's Iona naming Blue and closed it out. Felt good, but I NEEDED Leviathan.
I really like the list, as it incorporates a lot of my favorite things. I would play something similar if I didn't miss the ability the splash offers to deal with hate more easily. With that in mind I would consider adding more bounce, Chain of Vapor for example, Cyclonic Rift and Venser alone may not be enough to deal with a resolved noncreature permanent that locks your graveyard.
How as Necro been for you? It stops you from discarding creatures to reanimate but I guess it can let you draw all your combo pieces and hardcast them.
Consider adding a Nephalia to your manabase for additional ways to kill with Chron/Deadeye.
Commandeer, good enough?
I like that you can make infinite colored mana with Tyrant using the signet. Cool.

Well, Buried Alive and Entomb still work I believe. Truly it's been incredible. It feels sort of like Griselbrand after it lands. I just go nuts.
Not sure on Commandeer yet. Dralnu can be really nice coming in and letting me recast reanimation or tutors. Usually it's when I'm not doing as hot though

I had a couple games the other night and was very fortunate to have performed well.
First game I had careful study into Consecrated Sphinx with Reanimate and an early "Dragons" Monastery Siege. I was able to draw into Buried Alive and counter back up.
Second game I was the early target and found myself digging for Necromancy and Kederekt Leviathan to reset Arcum's crazy board. I was able to get control again and reanimated Karador's Iona naming Blue and closed it out. Felt good, but I NEEDED Leviathan.

Has Dralnu been useful?

Ha, yeah he's super good.
