This is a standard deck I came up with after a particularly interesting draft in which I was able to use ever after pretty extensively. I used to believe it was a great reanimation card, now I know it is. The only question was, what is good enough to reanimate? I searched through every standard card and I believe the best target is Dragonlord Kolaghan. Not only does he have haste, but he grants your other reanimation target haste as well. This allows you to potential combo tons of damage. I believe the best cards to reanimate with him are Dragonlord Atarka, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, and Void Winnower. I decided that void winnower was probably the best target because it is likely to stop your opponent from blocking it and it blanks powerful removal in the format like Declaration in Stone. Kozilek is also a great choice as it has menace and can counter any removal provided you have the right cards in hand. Further testing will help me decide which I prefer.
The corrupted grafstone is easy to enable and makes it so that you can reliably get to 6 mana to cast Ever After.The rest of the cards help you fill your graveyard, control the board, and draw into Ever After.
