Comparison list: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/toshiro-umezawa-snapcaster/

Toshiro Umezawa deck, focused on reanimation as a wincon, also splashing a bunch of draw and utility. Secondary win-con is to ramp up and rip a fat Exsanguinate. This deck also contains a few tutors, to help pieces and wincons fall in place.

You generally want to tutor for the following (in order of gametime // importance):

1. Necropotence (should be the first to be tutored up every time, if possible)
2. Reliquary Tower (skip if you don't have Necropotence / Necrologia)
3. Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
4. Liliana of the Dark Realms
5. (Board Wipes, if needed)
6. Big Mana (Caged Sun / Crypt Ghast / Nykthos / Deserted Temple)
7. Wincons (Reanimators (such as Grave Betrayal / Chainer / Sheoldred) // Exsanguinate)

Considering cutting: (They are different from the comparison list):

• 1-2 Removal !!
• Necropotence
• Dismember
• Reckless Spite
• Ultimate Price
• Decree of Pain
• Animate Dead
• Necromancy
• Sangromancer
• Harvester of Souls
