Could anyone give me input to make a competitive mardu or grixis gearhulk reanimator deck. I love the idea and would like constructive input. THANKS!

Is it too clunky or slow for the current meta do you think?

Well the Gearhulk reanimator deck is more of a midrange deck, which usually has a good matchup against all the aggro decks going around like zombies and humans. You have access to pretty good removal spells if you play red and black, like Fatal Push and Disintegrate. You also have Release the Gremlins for the Marvel matchup. I would think that the UR control would be the worst matchup, but you can board in hand disruption and some recursion to fight against that.

Honestly as absurd as this sounds, you could totally make yore reanimator work fine with aether hub and spire of industry. Though mardu would be better than grixis for reanimator. The only really killer component for blue would be torrential gearhulk or maybe saheeli if you could make that work, and torrential gearhulk would only be effective if you were running a control shell. Unliscenced disintegration, fatal push, anguished unmaking, and the like. Could work phenomenally or just end up as a really expensive and clunky mess. I would love to help more, could you link a decklist to look at?

Also Nahiri, the Harbinger is pretty much a given in gearhulk reanimator. Does everything you want to do. Cycles through cards, drops your fatties in the graveyard, searches them out of your deck with the ultimate. Has some available removal. If you can afford it it is an auto include

This deck is in the works right now.. once I head to my lgs and pick up the pieces, I will link a decklist. There are many ways to build it and I think there will be something great in the grixis control shell, especially with the new ugin that I will jam in there lol and I think you are correct, either very powerful or very clunky.. I think ever after will be OK enough to replace refurbish especially if you can jam a deaths majesty in there.. the counter magic and UD will be just fine with yahennis expertise and sweltering suns. Combustible gearhulk is great card advantage and I think this can work

Bolas is going to be phenomenal, but I don't know that a reanimator is the right deck for him. I'd say he's probably best suited for the top of the curve in a grixis control deck. Probably as a wincon of it. I think in reanimator he might just water it down. Just my thought

I have built a Mardu Reanimator Deck myself.
Mainly for fun, but it performs pretty decent.
Here is a link: Mardu Reanimator
It went 2-1 last standard showdown and i will continue to post updates

You will definitely need Cathartic Reunion and Refurbish. Liliana, Death's Majesty and Ever After are good options too.
