Sefris of the Hidden Ways Esper Reanimation/Value EDH. Complete Lost Mine of Phandelver. It is the most efficient. Dungeon of the Mad Mage is too long. DO NOT complete Tomb of Annihilation, it will make Acererak the Archlich actually stay on the battlefield if he is cast.

The main plan is to dive into a dungeon, and when almost complete, bring our commander out to get a big creature, like Archon of Cruelty out of the grave. Angel of the Ruins provides a big body and etb, and can cycle for any Plains card. Archon of Cruelty and Sun Titan are value beaters.

Obsessive Stitcher and Merfolk Looter are good ways of putting big mana cost creatures into the graveyard for reanimation later, and general card selection. Both can trigger Sefris on opponent's turns too.

Acererak the Archlich and Radiant Solar can complete Lost Mine of Phandelver in two casts of Acererak. Pair this with Sefris, and you can reanimate too.

The best dungeon to go through is The Lost Mine of Phandelver. It's efficient, provides mana, and card draw. It is also the quickest to complete.

Card recommendations/suggestions are always appreciated!
