This deck idea came from a standard point of view. Back in 2013 I was playing at one of my favorite card shops, I was playing the FNM standard event, I had an esper deck with major control, and a RDW deck, I also had my buddy's deck of his jund, I used his deck. I wanted to see where I placed with a deck I knew nothing about. I landed in 3rd place. Not bad right? but when I was in a match I was up against a guy who I think in my opinion cheats, he played a GB deck with reanimator aspects. I was annoyed with him, he was suppose to call out his cards abilities and never did, He won 1st place with a cash prize of 50 dollars... I was furious about this cheating man, but while playing against him I learned that reanimator decks are cool. Months pass and I was sitting in my room, taking apart my esper deck, It doesnt hold up no more in standard at all neither does RDW since theros came out. I love this block and RTR block. However i dont want to quit with RTR I love this set to pieces, So I wanted to get into EDH/ Commander. I looked up some ideas, till this day i never played a game. but when i do i want it to be good. So with reanimator there is green and black and GB cards to do so, I wanted an esper version of this with control and multiply board wipes, I got a few in hand. I recently got into MTG again in 2012 when RTR was about to come out and I stopped for like 2 months and started playing, MAJORLY and now have this giant collection. I used to play back in 2009/2010 as well when zendikar was around, Zendikar is an amazing block in my opinion. Anyways getting off topic, I wanted some feedback on this deck I also have cards in mind to put into it but are costly cards and idk how to fix this deck to be better. Let me know how this works thanks :)

now i wanted life gain in this deck as well since I think it will be useful so Oloro ageless ascetic gains me life each turn and i can have draw power as well, now i know the importance of mana in edh and how is can be very interesting to see how things play out so here is a crypt ghast to help me stack up mana quickly to get things out. now i have planned several ways to win with this deck. fear not im not just going to kill your creatures, steal them from your graves and use them to attack you and let you board wipe and i just rise of dark realms and bring like 100+ creatures back, no no no. I will also exile your most important cards, I will also gain life and take yours in several ways, I will also have my commander who will become unblockable and untouchable if i get my cards up, I will also board wipe and bring back creatures or cast 4 very tough creatures in one turn then you board wipe then i get back my rise of dark realms and use everything i got from it against you.

So with your guys help i need fixing on this deck and maybe a 4th way to win? since i rely so much on rise of dark realms and other creatures and enchantments to take turns to steal creatures i know its a long shot but i need to stall and make people use their boardwipes quickly. So in the mainboard is what i got at my reach. I dont have the cards in the maybe board. now i need help in a few ways with this deck, another idea to add to win, i also need to know what cards i need to take out to put in, i also need to know which of the cards i need to buy in my maybe board or your suggestions to put into this deck. I dont want to buy everything for like 2k dollars and then end up knowing what i bought doesnt work well in the deck... i think i spent enough money on magic cards now i know emrakul is a staple to prevent milling but yea... what else do i need to switch out?
