First time posting here, so if this in the wrong spot my bad in advance.

I've always wanted to build a reanimator, and I've tried and well heck i prolly suck at it, but anyway here my take with it.

20 swamp

4 dark ritual
4 duress
4 diabolic edict

3 entomb
4 exhume
4 buried alive
3 reanimate
2 drain life

2 reya dawnbringer
2 avatar of woe
1 wayward angel
1 devouring strossus
2 penumbra wurm
1 braids cabal minion
3 apprentice necromancer

even to me the deck seems to be almost slopped together.

im looking at cutting back the renaimates, but as long as you dont go crazy, they work fine. the drain life is to counteract that loss.

i like the combination of using reya with braids.

if you get it off real early you can throw an opponent into lock if you can get out another creature, preferably p. wurm. that way you create a creature token thats 6/6 every turn.

the apprentice necromancer. yeah you gotta sack him and that bites, but with reya out its not really a big deal. lay him out, tap a black, tap him sac him, pull out a strossus, swing for 9, sac the srossus, pull out the necromancer with reya next upkeep. it goes on from there.

to me this doesnt semm like the traditional build, more of a type 2 deck with substituted cards that make it type 1.5.

wow it kinda sucks that im allready trashing my deck without ans posts, oh well let the rippings begin
