Deck Description

Here is my second shot at Reanimator. I have recieved tips on other cards to use and to include blue but a lot of those cards I either didn't like and/or thought was unnecessary or would be a bit more of a risk to play. I didn't throw in blue yet, possibly in the future.

The deck is very fast, well balanced out. Obvious threats are grave hate and exile.
Any tips welcome!

This site is saying this deck is not legal, I'm looking the cards up and I'm not seeing what is illegal. I know the sideboard is illegal (I aim for legacy)

I figured it out. I hovered the mouse over "Not legal in Legacy" and it's claiming the swamp is illegal

How to Play

Potential turn 1 screw over: Turn 1 - Swamp > Dark Rit > Entomb (Iona) > (Reanimate/Exhume)

The Painter's Servant is a newish addition. As it goes hand in hand with Iona to completely disable each opponent.

Serum Powder is my newest addition. It is in there mainly for the replacement ability to redraw your hand without drawing down. Obviously you wouldn't want to do it with a card you absolutely need in hand but chances are you wont. This card helped greatly make this deck more reliable.

Griselbrand for lifegain or draw power. I chose this over Jin-Gitaxias because if against the right deck you can easily draw out.

I was tipped not to use It That Betrays because of summoning sickness and being slow because of it. I'm really not worried about that. You can easily get one out turn 2 or 3 possibly 4 and that early in the game that Annihilator ability will royally mess up the opponent. Plus give you lands or what they sac.

I wasn't sure what to put in the last slot so I put in Glistening Oil, even though it doesn't play much in this deck. It does go great with It that Betrays, especially with Sheoldred on the field to bring him back.

Exhume is great when bringing back Sheoldred, once it's their turn their saccing that creature anyway.

I hope you like, any suggestions I'm all ears! Let me know what you think
