Depending on how you define upkeep costs, this version of the Necromancer might even be able to use [mwcard=MWSTX2FFC10]Sardonyx, Blight of the Living[/mwcard] without committing suicide...

That's one of the reasons why I think that the new necro needs such an ability.

I think that a good alternate Necromancer would be a Reanimation Master.  One of her special abilities would be that when she directly kills a creatures, she could spend the casting cost of the creature immediately to reanimated it as a Zombie with -(level) Life.  The other special ability would be that she reconstruct one die worth of damage on a Zombie in her zone by paying one mana during the the Upkeep Phase.
