Reanimator is one of my favorite archetypes in Magic so I decided to work on a deck centered around that style of gameplay. Karador enables you to always have a card to take advantage of your yard even when your draws aren't lining up with what you are wanting, and almost always costs 3 mana.

I have built my deck to take advantage of Birthing Pod alongside regular reanimation to allow the deck to function as a toolbox. I have tried to incorporate creatures to do the work needed as much as possible to keep the focus on the reanimation ability and interactions with other creatures. While I have not tried to under-power the deck I have tried to avoid any combo involving just two cards to instantly win the game. That being said I have gone back and forth on my opinion to include Mikaeus, the Unhallowed so his inclusion will be determined on future playtesting.

I am open to any suggestion! Feel free to comment on something you think is out of place or a card that has slipped my mind for inclusion. Thank you for taking a look at my Karador Reanimator EDH deck!
