This is a reanimation-themed deck that started out using Ertai, the Corrupted as the commander, mainly for the colors. I needed to make the deck more consistent, though. When I first started playing EDH, I built Budget Ertai, the Corrupted - EDH / Commander, and I liked playing it. I love reanimator (anyone here that has seen any of my decks realizes its one of my favorite themes), and so I tried my hand at reworking it a little. Now that I've grown in my EDH savvy a little bit, I want to try to improve it more.

This list will be changing over time, I hope, and make the deck roll a bit smoother. I think I'll try to work in a pillowfort package with cards like Propaganda, Ghostly Prison, and Koskun Falls, and some others to help me stay safe while the reanimation package can get set up.

I've changed the commander of the deck to Oloro, Ageless Ascetic. Ertai would often just hang out in the command zone, and I found myself rarely casting him. To me, that's no fun. If I'm going to play commander, then I want my commander to do something than other be a color banner. At least Oloro gains life while he's in the command zone, and once out, he turns into card advantage.

I'll update this page more as I go along, but for right now, the deck is set better than it was. As always, I'm looking for any suggestions.
