That is an awesome idea. I would suggest running darkblasts and life from the loams in your build also. I think I would end up with something like this:
EDIT The decklist I made when thinking for some reason that dredge put the card on top of the library. Please ignore this. /EDIT
I'm glad you like it, but I can't take credit. My friend built this ages ago when it was Standard legal. Now we are collaborating to port it to Legacy, and I was warming up by making a Modern version. I actually think it may be well positioned, since the Modern curve is not terribly different than Legacy.
As for your list, there are some things I like, and some things I really don't. Most importantly is that you took out the most important card: Golgari Thug. His ability is how you consistently fix Counterbalance triggers. Get a bunch of critters in the yard, sac Thug, put something specific on top.
You also took out Bridge, which I am considering going to 4-of, because it's that important. In the early game, it provides ridiculous Zombies, lategame you either swing or Scry for a billion, setting up CB perfectly and making your topdecks brilliant.
Darkblast would be great if not for killing Bridges. Sure, Bob is unpleasant, but he's easy to hit with CB before he drops, dies to any chump blocker I have after he lands, and isn't much of a clock if I need to ignore him for a bit.
I do believe Unburial Rites and Remand could easily find homes here, and I definitely need some self mill and or card draw. I prefer here either Drowned Rusalka, or Magus of the Bazaar. The former is another sac outlet, while the latter is easier to use and digs much faster.

The reason for the low land count is really because of life from the loam, which is a very powerful enabler.
The use of fetchlands make bloodghast much better.
I wanted to have a 1 2 and 3 drop available to dredge up, so thats what determined my dredge spells.
I like remand better than mana leak because it allows you to draw a card (and by doing so resetting the top of your library.)
Have you thought about running drowned rusalka, remand, or darkblast?
Anyways, thats just my opinion. I really like your idea.
