This is my second attempt at a Reanimator combo deck for Nethroi.

The main goal is to obviously fill your yard as fast as possible by tutoring out Hermit Druid or Mesmeric Orb within the first two turns. There are only (3) basic lands in the deck so you need to be aware of that when activating his ability but it should net about 35 cards milled per activation.

Combos:

Solemnity + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Sac Outlet

Solemnity + Luminous Broodmoth + Sac Outlet

Solemnity + Lesser Masticore + Sac Outlet

Solemnity + Kitchen Finks + Sac Outlet

Karmic Guide + Reveillark + Sac Outlet

Saffi Eriksdotter + Sun Titan + Sac Outlet

Saffi Eriksdotter + Reveillark + Sac outlet

Saffi Eriksdotter + Karmic Guide + Sac outlet

Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Lesser Masticore + Sac outlet

Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Kitchen Finks + Sac Outlet

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Walking Ballista + Sac Outlet

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Lesser Masticore + Sac outlet

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Kitchen Finks + Sac Outlet

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Spike Feeder

Renegade Rallier + Saffi Eriksdotter + Sac Outlet

Harder to set up but, Sun Titan + Karmic Guide + Recursion Enchantment in the Graveryard (Necromancy, Dance of the Dead, Animate Dead) + Sac Outlet

Combine any of these with the Blood Artist or Cruel Celebrant for infinite damage, Mike and Ballista is self contained infinite damage. If the Sac Outlet is Phyrexian Altar, unlimited Mana, same if you have Pitiless Plunderer or Pawn of Ulamog If the sac outlet is Altar of Dementia, Unlimited Mill Use Midnight Reaper or Grim Haruspex to draw into your answers.

Wincons with a fat graveyard include Living Death, and Nethroi, Apex of Death of course.
