Looking for help with a Lavaz deck I want to build. Budget is around $1 per card. Main idea is to play a few (10-12) mill and wheel effects to fill up mine and everyone else's yards, then play reanimation to bring the best creatures back as mine. If Lavaz's around, I get an extra copy of the best creature, and can them reanimate it for 2 copies. It's important that I am playing some good reanimation targets myself, and that my reanimation is versatile in who's graveyard it can hit so it's not too dependant on my opponents' decks, but can still benefit from them.
I don't know how the wipes will work out, so any feedback on those is appreciated. It just seems I need something to do against that annoying Animorphs (animar and morphs) deck in my meta, as well as other aggro/creature-based strategies.
I am NOT willing to go all in on mill or wheel synergies, I just find that boring. I do how ever love wheels and mill is a great way to stock graveyards. Since mill is not my win condition, I should probably cut it, as all it does is stock graveyards. I tried to only include higher impact, repeatable mill, but I should still probably just cut it for more removal and card draw.
Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!
Is that a strict budget, and where are you judging the prices from? Does it not count cards already in your collection? Just because I recently bought a copy of Dismember, it was $3-$4. Same with Gilded Lotus.

Also, Necromantic Selection may go over Decree of Pain, depending on whether you want the reanimation more than the card draw.
