I like the reanimator strategy, and I'm interested in which cards from AVR will be added to the lists, I'm afraid you're being a bit ambitious with adding Killing WaveMTG Card: Killing Wave, I can't believe giving the opponent a choice of whether they want to lose life or creatures is good, it's sadly neither a FireballMTG Card: Fireball nor a Wrath of GodMTG Card: Wrath of God, I don't know enough about reanimator to say much else, though GriselbrandMTG Card: Griselbrand looks like a fun reanimation target... and I believe you won't be hardcasting any of your creatures apart from Vexing DevilMTG Card: Vexing Devil and this deck looks like it can use some more card draw and/or self-mill

Great deck, but i think that you need more than Faithless LootingMTG Card: Faithless Looting to get reanimation targets and fill up you graveyard. Maybe splashing some blue for mill?

I think you should remove Reassembling SkeletonMTG Card: Reassembling Skeleton all together, and add another Lingering SoulsMTG Card: Lingering Souls for sure. Id also maybe remove a couple WhipflareMTG Card: Whipflare and put 2 in your SB...

Your on the right track; however, you really do need extra and more consistent discard outlets. If you can find them, even if just the red ones, you may be able to run off colour fatties. Either way, for the time being; you'll still be needing Elesh Norn.

It's alright, but it's definitely slow. Maybe go the Frites route and main Green for mana dorks like Birds of ParadiseMTG Card: Birds of Paradise and Avacyn's PilgrimMTG Card: Avacyn's Pilgrim? I like your reanimation targets though. Gonna wreak some havoc. :]

Play tested a few time and had a good amount of trouble with land, need more, 24 maybe 25 IMO. Also black red duals would be good.

Liliana of the veil for discard would help. If adding green mulch and tracker instincts are helpful. Also mutigenic regrowth to refetch the defy deaths.

I have a similar deck in mind after AVR rolls in. Have you considered entreat the angels as a toke. Source for chumps?

I really like this idea, although you need cards to get rid of Grafdigger's CageMTG Card: Grafdigger's Cage, right now if they cast it you will probably lose. I would say Mental MisstepMTG Card: Mental Misstep or Ancient GrudgeMTG Card: Ancient Grudge.

+1 from me!

I don't like GriselbrandMTG Card: Griselbrand in your list as it's basically impossible to hardcast him with so few black sources. A good Frites deck should be able to hardcast its bombs if necessary in order to play around Grafdigger's CageMTG Card: Grafdigger's Cage, Nihil SpellbombMTG Card: Nihil Spellbomb and Surgical ExtractionMTG Card: Surgical Extraction. Some more creature ramp would support this nicely, i.e. a few Avacyn's PilgrimMTG Card: Avacyn's Pilgrim or Somberwald SageMTG Card: Somberwald Sage.

take out the doomed travelers. You already have lingering souls for chump blockers. Add in an elesh you if you can afford it. Same goes for wurmcoil and maybe the black paredator. Also the new somberwald sage could give u come great ramp if it survives the turn. Try testing a few of her out.I'd say altogether..+1 faithless looting-4 doomed traveler+1-2 elesh+1-2 wurmcoil engine-1 day of judgement+1 unburial rites (why not 4?)-1-3 defy death (not as good as unburial. Unburial is easier to cast, and u dont have to have it sit in your hand)

maybe somberwald sage too.

Seems like the point is turn 4-5 you start dropping bombs.

Feel free to shoot me down, but what is the green really doing for you in this deck? None of your bigs are green and not a whole lot of gain from the birds IMO(good cause of multi color, but you aren't really planning on hard casting until super late game).

I think you can go 3 color r/w/b and drop the greens, add more reanimation with the Defy DeathMTG Card: Defy Deathx2 Unburial RitesMTG Card: Unburial Ritesx1 and maybe some other biggins like Elesh Norn, Grand CenobiteMTG Card: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

I would also fill in maybe with some early removal rather then Doomed TravelerMTG Card: Doomed Traveler

Green gives you access to selfmill in form of MulchMTG Card: Mulch and Tracker's InstinctsMTG Card: Tracker's Instincts which is very relevant here to get your bombs and Unburial RitesMTG Card: Unburial Rites in the graveyard quickly. Creature ramp, i.e. Birds of ParadiseMTG Card: Birds of Paradise, Avacyn's PilgrimMTG Card: Avacyn's Pilgrim or Somberwald SageMTG Card: Somberwald Sage, and the ability to flashback Ancient GrudgeMTG Card: Ancient Grudge are also extremly helpful.

This is the exact type of deck I've been looking for. +1 from me.
