When Commander 2013 came out, I instantly fell in love with Mind Seize. That deck has gone through several iterations - at one point being split into two decks, with Jeleva in one and Nekusar in the other - but over time, I've swapped out so many cards that the deck became pretty much a "good stuff" deck.

At this point, I've decided to take the deck in a reanimator direction, since it's a concept that intrigues me. I've put together a decklist that includes a lot of cards that I own and adds some new ones, and I'm hoping for some feedback before I sink the money in. I'm on somewhat of a budget, so I'd like to keep he cost from getting too out of hand (I plan to splurge for Kiki-Jiki, and don't really want to go over $5 per card otherwise).

The maybeboard is a list of cards I'm removing, for my own reference.
