a take on BW Reanimator to include T3feri and Faithful mending.

the core of the deck is Unmarked Grave -> Archon of Cruelty -> Persist. The rest of the deck supports this, either through finding combo pieces (Faithful Mending), through protecting the combo (Teferi, Time Raveler, Counterspell, Thoughtseize) or slowing down the opponent (Prismatic Ending, Thoughtseize)
We have a plan B in Lingering Souls, because beating down with 4 spirits also works in a pinch.

T3feri is the main reason to splash blue. Preventing your opponent from playing instants means the combo is uncounterable and protects your Archon from Surgical Extraction.
It also incidentally hates out cascade decks, saving some sideboard slots.
