My Adun Oakenshield EDH originally started as a Stax deck, but I've recently overhauled it to be a creature toolbox deck with a reanimator win-condition. The deck has a touch of dredge elements, and I've included cards like Mindslicer and Sire Of Insanity to play to this deck's strengths while simultaneously draining one of my opponents' resources (their hands). With Adun Oakenshield as my general, it doesn't matter if I have a hand, because most of the cards I will be pitching to the graveyard will be creatures. It can also win via the infamous melira-pod combo, although I've included that solely as a way to end games that have gone on far too long.

Beyond graveyard hate, Torpor Orb and Humility are the biggest threats to shut down this creature-heavy iteration. Depending on how often I'm matched against those cards, I can always adjust the list to include some cards along the lines of Abrupt Decay, Krosan Grip, Nature's Claim, and Deglamer. If blue mages are a problem, Vexing Shusher a good card to include as well.

Cards like Leyline of the Void, Tormod's Crypt, Scavenging Ooze, and Sepulchral Primordial are needed to break the symmetry of Living Death, Reforge the Soul, and Wheel of Fortune.

Update: Decided against the Melira-Persist combo route. Opponents are too afraid of combos that win on-the-spot, so they will just attack me out of fear without actually reading the boardstate.

Going to test the effectiveness of cards like Destructive Flow and Ruination. If I'm playing from the graveyard and reanimating creatures, I don't really care about mana or cards-in-hand. By attacking my opponents' resources (hand size and lands), it makes the dredge/re-animator strategy that much stronger.
