Not sure this is the correct choice of cut or even if Epiphany will be good, but it does play into the decks graveyard themes and I got one at the SOI prerelease and want to test it out.
Wake the Dead is also a phenomenal spell if you were to increase the # of creatures that etb-do-stuff. It is limited to an opponents combat, but you can cast it even if the opponent is passing combat, just to rebuy a few etb-triggers.
I like the Djinn, because the deck actually runs quite a lot of 'deceit' cards and he's good to unearth and swap away, but sadly the limitation on non-legendary creatures to exchange has often been a big draw back :(. I'll try to keep the Djinn, but also want to try Thalakos Deceiver (swaps away in a similar way and puts itself into the graveyard the first time), Gilded Drake (on ETB) or even Phyrexian Infiltrator. Finding space in the deck is always an issue.

Yeah seems pretty good. I'll have to look at how much ETB things I have going on.
I avoided Sundial of the Infinite because it doesn't really solve the unearth problem. The creatures don't leave end of turn, but next time they leave they are still exiled. I prefer the flicker effects because they are generally better even outside of an unearth context. Sundial on it's own doesn't do anything good.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions traveling at the moment limits the changes I can make, but I'm going to try and acquire some new cards for this deck in the next week or so.

A couple of cards I want to find for the deck:
Gilded Drake
Thalakos Deceiver
I think in general I need to lower my curve a bit. Perhaps I need another sweeper as well? Massacre Wurm?
U Azami, Lady of Scrolls - Knowledge is Power U [Primer]
R Heartless Hidetsugu - The Art of Ending Games R
GB Ishkanah, Grafwidow - The Cluster HungersBG

I think I'd try Doomed Necromancer before Coffin Queen, because Coffin Queen doesn't interact so well if you unearth her. Feldon of the Third Path could be a strong addition.
