Grim Backwoods is at least a land that allows me to cast spells – it’s a free splash. As for Chant vs Ghoulraiser: Ghoulraiser is a creature, which is huge in an aggro deck. You can’t just cast card advantage spells like Ghoulcaller’s Chant in your aggro deck if you don’t have enough high-impact creatures to support it. The only high-impact creature is Messenger. Ghoulraiser can be (and often is) played as a 1BB 2/2, which goes a long way to making it better than Chant. It doesn’t sound that great (Grey Ogre is far from impressive), but the body just gives you another option with which to work with.

@Everyone: I ordered a new microphone yesterday, it should arrive in time for the next set of videos.

I also think ghoulraiser is bad in this deck. All you really want to get back with ghoulraiser is the messenger and ghoul callers chant would do that more efficiently.
I liked the video and commentary, just the echo from your mic was kind of annoying.

Also, your voice keeps going in and out.

Why would he suicide off his gravecrawler when he suspects the player has a burn spell for his only other zombie with no other zombies in hand? And yeah trading a 2/1 for a 1/1 doomed traveler that turns into a 3/3 flier with vigilance seems real smart. The crawlers were played well in my opinion.
