Sacrifice White Lotus, Q: Add three mana of any one color to your mana pool. Answering a simple puzzle to unleash legendary power
Well, kind of kidding. I wanted to make a specter deck once but realized there is such a thing as too many specters. Once the opponent's hand is empty they become a lot less powerful. I do think, though, that Guul Draz Specter might be a nice addition or replacement for one of those other smaller guys. Just having a beefy 5/5 flier is nice.
I'd definetly recommend increasing your land count to 24. I'd drop the playset of Demonic Dread for the extra 4 lands.
Creature-wise, I'd aim for "specters" that have evasion so you don't need to waste slots on cards that grant evasion. I'd add a playset of Blizzard Specter. (EDIT: Bustin beat me to it) Aside from being an uncommon "specter", he also has that bounce ability that could be helpful in certain situations.

EDH: It's like a pillow fight, except occasionally someone pulls out a chainsaw.
If you suggest a card to add to a deck, suggest one to take out as well.
Also, when hit early, a lot of people will discard their high mana creatures. It may be a good idea to have a couple Animate Deads to steal their fatties.
I would highly recommend Blizzard Specter. The card allows you to actually do something once they run out of a hand by bouncing a permanent. The tempo loss for your opponent when they're already behind on cards is huge. Personally I'd take out the Pilferers for them. I'd probably take out Demonic Dread and replace it with Consult the Necrosages or Recoil. The cascade from it just seems to random to really be all that beneficial. Plus, you could use some more discard in here besides just some random creatures. Recoil allows you to permanently get rid of something if they have no cards in hand, while Necrosages can force both discard early on or give you late game draw. Rise/Fall is pretty decent and somewhat in strategy too.
recoil is a real good idea. maybe ill swap for terminate.
