I've been looking for cards in the Modern card pool similar to Recurring Nightmare and Meren of Clan Nel Toth for a grindy BUG Creature Toolbox deck. But so far I've only found cards that seem too weak (Undertaker) or come down too late (Sheoldred, Whispering One). It's likely that sheoldred goes in the deck either way but something less costly would be nice (cmc-wise). Am I sort of stuck with these options?
For at-least-2-shot creature recursion, the most common one I've seen is sadly Liliana, the Last Hope. It tends to be sideboard-only or a one-of in Jund.
Grim harvest, nissa vital force, shirei, skeleton shard, soul of innistrad, sword of light and shadow, or whip of erebos are all repeatable to some extent.
Outside of bug, alesha, enduring renewal, and proclamation of rebirth may or may not do what you need.
I think using liliana planeswalkers and one shot effects (pulse of murasa, eternal witness, etc) is likely your best bet.
Lol, what you are asking for does not exist in modern. Reacurring Nightmare is one of the most insane cards ever printed.
All of the suggestions above are good.
Some cards have been mentioned already. You can also add the package cryptic command, snapcaster mage and koligan's command to rebuying snapcaster mage. That works quite well.
Glissa, the Traitor i a creature that could fit your plan quite well. Acadamy Ruins do a good impression of Volrath's Stronghold. If you go this route throw some wurmcoil engines into your deck.
The deck I hav actually played that coes crazy with creature resurection is Kiki-Chord with Revelarks and Eternal Witness. The funn never stops. You can also flicker Revelark with Restoration Angel and get 2 creature back. Kiki-Jiki also works with all of those creatures.
While generally to slow for modern, gifts ungiven into Unburial Rite is the premium resurection strategy.
Mimic vat can do some cool tricks.
Also look into the Eternal Command deck. It has a lot of fun with the gravyard, although not so big creatures.

I have dyslexia, no I am not going to spell check for you, yes you have to live with the horrors of it.
Its only repeatable with splice, and it only works on legendary creatures, but it is something.
Cryptic command + eternal witness + kolaghan's command is "better" than snapcaster because you don't exile the spell.
Thanks guys. Yeah I realize nothing in Modern even comes close to what you can pull with the Legacy cardpool, but as we see here there's plenty of interesting interactions to play around with in this format as well.
Just realized I missed doomed necromancer. Its not the best, obviously, but there is certainly value to be had, especially if paired with something like reveillark
Hell's Caretaker is probably the closest you will come to nightmare.
You can possibly run The survival of the fittest green guy to a similar effect by getting 4 from the deck, but that doesn't bring them into play.

Oh boy if Meren were legal in Modern Chord and Coco decks would have a field day.
