You're totally right, the Sun Titan brought back an Animate Dead which targeted the Karmic Guide. My mistake, I lost myself in all the card-linking haha. And I feel the same, once you take the G-way there is no going back
I've been thinking about trying Entomb in my deck. Have you ever run it?
I don't run it, because the reanimation cards I have are simply to re-use creatures that were destroyed by opponents. I am not purposely trying to get cards into my graveyards and attacking from that position.
What are your thoughts on Archangel Avacyn? Seems cheap enough to actually get some use out of the flash. And although she kills Kaalia if she flips, nearly any other creature you run will remain alive.

Hello!
Archangel Avacyn is not my first pick. If I wanted instant-based indestructibility, I would choose Boros Charm first. As a creature, Archangel Avacyn isn't as strong as other creatures in the 5 CMC slot. In my multiplayer games, I don't expect to have many creatures out, so I don't have much to protect via Archangel Avacyn. At most, I have 3 creatures, including Kaalia, at any given moment. Since I don't have much to protect, Archangel Avacyn's flipped side will not trigger often. Even if she does flip, her 3 damage is OK, but I have Balefire Dragon and Steel Hellkite to clean up the board, even if they cost more to hardcast. Balefire Dragon is something I want to launch from Kaalia's ability.
For my deck, I am going for the long game, so every creature needs to have a significant effect on the battlefield. I don't think Archangel Avacyn is good enough to meet my multiplayer needs.

Fair points. So then if you were to add more creatures to your list, which ones would you be looking into? I'm currently looking to add some more to mine.
Great list by the way, Definitely inspired some card choices in my own.

If you look at my post on the first page, I have a section called "Viable Secondary Cards" and there is a creature sub-section with a small list of creatures that I sometimes will use. Normally, I just swap creatures from my main list for creatures in the secondary list, as I don't want too many creatures. However, if you want a larger number of creatures for your deck, you should start with that list.
Retired Lists: Ghave - Hanna - Thrun - Zur
Pauper: Crypt Rats
