I made it yesterday and so far against my group of friends it has gone 4-1 but much more testing will take place.

I would suggest adding 3 more land, mana dorks and Farseek are optimal when you are accelerating your mana with them, to do this you still have to keep hitting land drops. In the early game when you're casting mana dorks or Farseek and don't have a normal land drop along with you've essentially cast Time Walk targeting your opponent.

Also having a low land count allows your deck to fall prey to what other decks love to do against reanimator (well aside from super aggro... most of the time) and that is to run cheap removal for mana dorks and Acidic Slime s to blow up lands (popular reanimator especially loves to slime, enough so to run 4 post board).

The description story though was good, aside from acting like Obzedat is a single entity... and making them cheerful and not greedy ghosts.

@demarge Thank you for your insight. I know the land count seems really low. With 24 I kept getting land flooded. So i took out 2 lands in favor of Ready / Willing (Card is extremely good) and after some games i still got land flooded so i took out 2 more lands. So far it has not worked out so i will probably go back up to 22 or 23 as you suggested.

P.S. That story is going to change i just came up with that within a couple of minutes. I will change it once i feel like it. :P

having 2 Vault of the Archangel will be mighty fun.

that 1 selesnya charm will most likely do nothing, might as well trade it in with some other things for 2/3 Orzhov Charm or something. You'll have enough life to use it anyways

Selesnya Charm is good for a number of things, like hitting a bloodrushed creature, thragtusk, Obzedat, though Orzhov Charm might work better here. I really like this idea though I don't know what to recommend at this time due to curve. Might look at Vampire Nighthawk , Rhox Faithmender is overkill but would be cool, but hits that 4th mana slot and kinda redundant with Trostani in here. If you play this at FNM let me know how it goes.

That one Selesnya Charm has changed a lot of games to my favor in fact i should find room for 1-2 more. As for Vampire Nighthawk i think it would have a great spot in fact it may be better then Centaur Healer in the sideboard, which i will consider. Orzhov Charm was in the main at one point but i never used 2 of the abilities so Putrefy has taken its spot because of the regenerate clause and no drawback. Rhox Faithmender feels to much overkill. Trostani does basicly the same thing....kinda and trostani makes more creatures. Vault of the Archangel feels really good. I forgot about that. I will definitely add it. Thank you guys for giving me more options (:

I'm still new to some of this, Farseek works on special lands?

brokendwarf Indeed it does. Since Farseek says plains island swamp or mountain i can search for any of the "shock" lands since they say plains or island or swamp or mountain.
