Legacy 16 land Reanimator deck. Has more utility creatures than the usual Griselbrand-focused deck. I never liked playing the four Careful Studies because I'd always end up getting stuck with them. I replaced it with something, but forgot what it was so I slammed a Breakthrough in there for a laugh, and Herbert West– was born.

This version of Reanimator lacks the game against some of the more fair decks that some other's do in my experience due to less Gdaddies to grind out combat. But the dig, disruption, and more focussed creature options makes it work well in a combo-heavy environment. Was great against Elves pre-DRS ban, and eats its lunch now. It has great game against Storm too. Eldrazi is mixed, but slamming Elesh Norn ASAP works well, especially if followed up with any other target.
