You aren't very specific. Are you looking for feedback with a deck (in which case this post is in the wrong forum), comments on a popular existing archetype, or comments on an archetype you think should exist?

There's a link to a modern reanimator deck. It's barely an archetype in modern because, quite frankly, everything that makes reanimator a deck in legacy is absent. Careful Study and Reanimate and Entomb, all gone.

You can hit a turn 2 win fairly often with glass cannon. T1 Faithless Looting pitching Griselbrand and something else. T2 Goryo's Vengeance into Griselbrand to draw your deck and attack multiple times with Fury of the Horde. The deck sees only fringe play because as the title suggests, it is very weak to any kind of disruption.

just curious if it is a doable thing or if its mainly Legacy and Standard!

Exhume is legacy as well, modern re-animator doesn't seem all that viable.

...and Animate Dead.

The problem with modern reanimator is people already run graveyard hate and Tarmogoyf. The risk doesn't outweigh the reward. You aren't dropping ridiculous things into play on turn one like in legacy, and the format is too fast for you to run the Unburial Rites package.

Most people in modern will splash reanimator cards in their decks, but it's not a strong enough archetype to base a deck around.
