Since I didn't find a real thread for Reanimator and representative decklists, I thought it would be useful to simply start a new thread.
I'm currently rocking UGB Reanimator, but I'm still not really sure about it and/or some cardchoices.
My list looks like this:
1 Underground Sea
1 Tropical Island
1 Bayou
1 Breeding Pool
1 Overgrown Tomb
1 Watery Grave
1 Underground River
1 Yavimaya Coast
1 Llanowar Wastes
1 Island
1 Snow-Covered Island
1 Forest
1 Snow-Covered Forest
1 Swamp
1 Snow-Covered Swamp
1 Flooded Strand
1 Polluted Delta
1 Misty Rainforest
1 Scalding Tarn
1 Verdant Catacombs
1 Marsh Flats
1 Bloodstained Mire
1 Windswept Heath
1 Wooded Foothills
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Tolaria West
1 Maze of Ith
1 Bazaar of Baghdad
1 Wasteland
1 City of Brass
1 Reflecting Pool
1 Forbidden Orchard
1 Enclave Cryptologist
1 Merfolk Looter
1 Thought Courier
1 Looter il-Kor
1 Hermit Druid
1 Wild Mongrel
1 Oona's Prowler
1 Psychatog
1 Eternal Witness
1 Iona, Shield of Emeria
1 Terastodon
1 Woodfall Primus
1 Angel of Despair
1 Sundering Titan
1 Pelakka Wurm
1 Sphinx of the Steel Wind
1 Phantom Nishoba
1 Wurmcoil Engine
1 Blazing Archon
1 Stormtide Leviathan
1 Empyrial Archangel
1 Inkwell Leviathan
1 Simic Sky Swallower
1 Duress
1 Thoughtseize
1 Inquisition of Kozilek
1 Mental Misstep
1 Daze
1 Mana Leak
1 Mana Drain
1 Circular Logic
1 Misdirection
1 Force of Will
1 Pernicious Deed
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Sylvan Library
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Brainstorm
1 Preordain
1 Ponder
1 Tainted Pact
1 Crop Rotation
1 Sylvan Scrying
1 Intuition
1 Gifts Ungiven
1 Fact or Fiction
1 Buried Alive
1 Careful Study
1 Frantic Search
1 Thirst for Knowledge
1 Regrowth
1 Reanimate
1 Dance of the Dead
1 Animate Dead
1 Necromancy
1 Exhume
1 Stitch Together
1 Recurring Nightmare
1 Makeshift Mannequin
1 Diabolic Servitude
1 Living Death
1 Show and Tell
1 Oath of Druids
1 Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur
1 Life // Death
1 Bogardan Hellkite
I think my list os pretty okay. At least that's the best you can do after it got all the brokeness banned out of it (Life from the Loam, Entomb, Library of Alex).
However, I still fail to make that build as streamlined as possible. There are cards that often clog up my hand over and over again: Deed, EE, Sylvan Scrying, Tolaria West and Crop Rotation (however, Crop Rotation being very good to setup Living Death).
Due to Oath I wanted to keep the small-creature-count as low as possible, there have been like 6 games lifetime where I fully relied on Oath and flipped creatures liek Waterfront Bouncer, Birds of Paradise, Squee and Noble Hierarch. I prefer to have a solid Oath instead of accelerating into nowhere (although taht might make sense with Diabolic Servitude and Makeshift Mannequin).
Due to the unbanning of Buried Alive it would also be possible to play the Necrotic Ooze-Phyrexian Devourer-Triskelion Combo. Worldgorger Dragon can also combo with Animate Dead, Necromancy and Dance of the Dead.
I'm also thinking about adding an Elesh-Norn because I can see it tearing decks like White Weenie apart
I hope I can get some good advice and maybe someone has got some sample lists I can steal ideas from. :>
