I think Zareth San, the Trickster is underrated. Just because it's hard to pull off the Rogue-jitsu doesn't make his reanimation ability any less powerful. Gonna throw together a budget-ish list to see what it looks like. No plans to build at the moment.

It's an interesting balance: Rogues and mill vs. having one's own threats.
