This is my take on a Reanimator deck, based on the cards that I have. It is a mix of the Graveborn deck, and what I already own.

The breakdown (The cards in these lists will vary. See updates):

Cards that let me throw away creatures (10):

3x Putrid Imp

2x Blackmail

3x Buried Alive

1x Entomb

1x Cabal Therapy

Cards that let me reanimate creatures (12):

4x Exhume

1x Reanimate

1x Dance of the Dead

3x Animate Dead

2x Doomed Necromancer

1x Victimize - To be used with Zombie tokens, Putrid Imp , or maybe Doomed Necromancer

Creatures to reanimate (10):

1x Grave Titan

1x Sphinx of the Steel Wind

1x Stormtide Leviathan

1x It That Betrays

1x Iona, Shield of Emeria

1x Chancellor of the Dross

1x Inkwell Leviathan

1x Simic Sky Swallower

1x Bogardan Hellkite

1x Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur

I've also got my Dark Rituals for first-turn nonsense, and extra mana if needed. Dash Hopes provide some stall tactics, and allow me to slow the game down and wait for the missing piece of my puzzle.

I have also considered going black/blue to use Careful Studys and Rites of Refusals. This would give me better discard options, and I could either counter something or draw cards.

I know that I need 4x Entomb, and maybe even 4x Reanimate, but that won't happen any time soon. Please leave me some constructive feedback, and help me do some tweaking.

It needs work, so please help!
