After achieving mixed results with a Rakdos reanimator deck, I decided that I may have more success (and more fun) if I applied the same concept in a deck not limited by color. It was specifically the addition of great Blue cards that pushed me over the edge on moving forward with this idea.

The idea is essentially cheat big stuff out, make life hard for opponents. The Kiki-Jiki + Pestermite combo is in here as a default win con, and the reanimator elements can help it along pretty easily. Lots of other great stuff in here though gives me options if that ends up failing.

Main vulnerabilities are graveyard exile and non-destruction board wipes (like Terminus, Merciless Eviction, etc). I've got some Blue counter spells and leyline of sanctity to help with this, but any suggestions to help with this would be appreciated.
