So I've been wanting to make something tick with Immortal Servitude sense the first day I've seen it in the Gatecrash spoilers and I think I've finally found another card to make it worthwhile; Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch
My deck idea is Necromancer;the idea is to stall out till turn 7-8 at which point I would reanimate and unleash every creature I have dead in the graveyard. My issue is making it flow, and I feel like my numbers are, well, off.
It smells like a reanimator deck, I just didn't want to add green but I'm open to the idea if there's a card base worth it that I'm not familiar with.

Sounds like you are mixing two very different styles of play, Rakdos Aggro and Black Control/Reanimator. I think you're likely to get very frustrated with all of your small unleash creatures trying to be aggressive and the overall strategy not supporting that style of play.
Also be very careful because when you play Immortal Servitude with X = 3 you only get things that are CMC 3 EXACTLY, not CMC 3 or less. Its a big difference.

@Celryn Ah I didn't actually see that exception, I was running under the assumption that it was X or less for some reason. Yeah this doesn't seem like it'll function all that well, I suppose I could move towards Grimoire of the Dead , though that restores all creatures. Thanks for pointing that out man lol

I know your feel. Always watch out for those clauses, it seems magic very rarely has an "X or less" card and usually does "exactly X".

All Creatures Cost One (Please Comment) Is a good example of a deck that actually abuses CMC 1 creatures and Immortal Servitude
