Greetings everyone, this is my first post on these boards as well as my first EDH deck. I am currently at 109 cards and need help reducing the deck. Please note that I know the lands I use are generally not the best but I haven't really felt like spending $50 on shock, pain and the Lorowyn signet lands quite yet. Any other part of the deck that you can critique and offer advice is welcomely received.
I would recommend Hell's Caretaker with possibly Thornbite Staff. With a creature in your graveyard and another in play you can sac one to bring the other one back, then repeat over and over to pump Thraximundar up infinitely.

That's a pretty neat little combo, I might just find room for it in the deck somewhere.
Read the Runes (Fills your graveyard for Patriarch's Bidding/Oversold Cemetary/Balthor, plus it's just good at digging for answers or threats)
Also, Darksteel Ingot is strictly better than Obelisk of Grixis.
I really like Balthor the Defiled as a recursion engine don't know why I forgot about him. Didn't know about Noxious Ghoul or Read the Runes. If I ever get either I will throw them in.
I meant to have Darksteel Ingot in the deck. Guess I forgot to put it there. I am noticing that the most important part of playing a Thraximundar deck is getting him out early before other people can build up.
