What are the best activated abilities on creatures available in modern? Preferably abilities that are cheap to activate, such as Griselbrand's Draw Seven.
All input regarding the deck idea is welcome as well

There has never been a land that enters the battlefield untapped unconditionally and taps for two colors unconditionally. That would be strictly better than a basic land
Godsire + Pili-Pala is one of the best I've seen. N lands gives you N-1 8/8 tokens every turn. Add a palladium myr to go infinite.
Cinderhaze Wretch + Shauku, endbringer exiles any number of creatures, but isn't modern legal. Get a [CARD]
Melira, Sylvok Outcast [/CARD] in play, though, and you can mill your opponent's hand and untap all day. Then you can go infinite with Godsire
disclaimer: it's late. some of what i've mentioned might not work like I expect. Actually, with Melira, you might not be able to pay the cinderhaze wretch's cost, so that might be a no-go.

Here are the little self-imposed guidelines I'm working with for the multiplayer decks I've been building:
• Must be cheap. Total price tag < $100, preferably < $50. Ideally ~$30. No one card greater than about ~$6
• Format: Modern (makes getting the cards somewhat easier for the play group, and almost all my cards are Modern-legal)
• Must be relatively interesting in 1:1 games. I don't need to win against Splinter Twin, but I should be able to play duels now and then
• Avoid instant-win combos; they only serve to make me target #1, and then the deck is worse than useless because I get killed first, every time
• Must have a funny name!

Most Necrotic Ooze decks I've seen attempt to go infinite using Morselhoarder/Grim Poppet + Devoted Druid.
EDIT: Civilized Scholar lets you mill you whole deck if you build it properly.

Another possibility would be Doomed Necromancer. Jarard's Orders into Doomed Necromancer+any creature lets you reanimate it.
It's an updated version of Brawl into an epic, new game.
