The basic idea is control the early game through discard, path, counters until you can set up some amount of amalgams in the yard. The command and sticky threats like gravecrawler or bloodghast bring back my amalgams turn after turn with little effort and let's me turn the corner.
Jace is my early discard outlet, digs me to answers as needed, can be bought back End of opponents main phase with command to recur amalgams during end step, and let's me further reuse the yard. Buying back a supreme verdict seems so juicy in this deck.
If I run snapcaster Mage then a command on snapcaster into buying back a path seems particularly strong with amalgams in the yard if I time correctly.
Thinking esper charm to protect myself from someone riding out graveyard hate in enchantment form.
I need a strong discard outlet that isn't a ton of mana in these colors and I just can't come up with anything that's worthwhile outside of Jace. zombie infestation just doesn't look appealing to me because it's a steep cost and I'm looking to devote ~8 slots to recurring creatures.
Thoughts/help? Looting feels like it's where I want to be but I don't see many cheap options for it, preferably at instant speed. I.e. artificer's epiphany .

So far I'm thinking control with something like the following creature suite thrown in:
4 prized amalgam
3-4 Jace, vryn's prodigy
2-4 bloodghast
0-2 gravecrawler
2-4 ojutai's command
