Idea of the deck:

1) Try to cheat something big into graveyard with caltrips or enablers

2) Bring it back with reanimation

3) ...

4) Profit - Win

Step one Show

Buried Alive - I would go for Anger + It That Betrays plus any other big guy / Jin, Sheoldred, Pathrazer of Ulamog, or for combo.

Step two Show

Reanimation of fatty. With Anger in graveyard can swing with It That Betrays + Pathrazer of Ulamog and steal 2-5 permanents round 3 - opening hand of Buried Alive + Sol Ring , two reanimation and mountain + 2 B mana.

Or I can combo out.

Step three Show

Later on I can hardcast anything or just dump it into graveyard an bring it back. Or bring everything back with mass revive.

General's Unearth ability is nearly useless until Warstorm Surge or combo for victory.

Combos:

Necrotic Ooze + Phyrexian Devourer + Triskelion (have around 250 cmc in whole deck)

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion

Exsanguinate + Worldgorger Dragon with revive enchantments.

Step four Show

Have a nice bottle of cold beer and don't play endless combo too often ;)

Ideas Show

I started to thing about adding Archaeomancer + Peregrine Drake + Wake the Dead combination for ultimate harass. But it would have need a lot of card swap to really work (Kokusho, the Evening Star, Butcher of Malakir, etc.).

Added sideboard for more control play. I can counter or return pesky enchantments with it so I can combo-off or deny opponent's combo. I would have switch some creatures for it (Bloodgift Demon, Hellkite Tyrant or Stormtide Leviathan) or Warstorm Surge .

Conclusion:

I run a lot of tutors so I don't have to fear about consistency. This deck can win at turn 2 with perfect hand and can bring havoc and opponent's tears with slight disruption.It is susceptible to GY hate.

I will be grateful for all comments and +1s also feel free to ask anything about this deck.

There is also non-infinite, friendly but still tasty version: EDH reanimator - light non-infinite version

And version with more zombies and dimir color scheme: EDH zombie Mill
