Deck Description

I made this deck with the intention to resemble a reanimator deck, the thing is that the only common card played in reanimator is Exhume, and is not the best one compared to Reanimate or Animate Dead (which are Uncommon), then I thought that what reanimator tries to do, is not to bring bombs from the graveyard, but to cheat huge creatures onto the battlefield without paying their real costs, the graveyard is just a way for this.
While this deck plays with the graveyard (I'm not leaving Exhume out of this) it does not bring the huge creatures form there, instead it tries to cheat them from the BF.
See how to play.
I will also note that I have no clue if there is already a similar deck that does this better, I just liked the idea and made a quick recipe.
Any suggestion and critic is welcome as long as it's constructive.

How to Play

The easier way to do the trick is to put a huge creature paying only 3 colorless mana using the morph ability, then use Cloudshift to remove it and bring it back face up.
Other ways to do this is by having Carrion Feeder or Viscera Seer & Angelic Renewal, Unhallowed Pact in the Battlefield or Exhume in your hand, then sacrifice your morphed creature and bring it back using the effects of the latter cards.
Also you could cycle the Yoked Plowbeast and Exhume it.
In the best scenarios your Carrion Feeder should become a creature to be worried about while you do this.
Dark Ritual will allow you to play faster, you could play a morphed creature on your first turn, for say something.
Ebony Charm is here because is versatile, I love cheap versatile spells, you're more likely clearing your opponent graveyard to play a safe Exhume or giving the ability to inspire Fear to your 6/7 biped mammoth (that somehow does not have it built-in) than using the first option, but you could also be hitted for letal reducing your last life and then this charm saves you, or, your opponent could stale the game at 1 life point, who knows.
The sideboard is a Work In Progress (as the complete deck though).
I would appreciate any feedback on the deck testing!

Deck discussion for PAUPER Reanimator B/W

Nice deck! Really funny to face up a Loxodon with Cloudshift.
I would add some removal to the main deck. Oblivion Ring can deal with enemy powerful creatures and even return your creatures from exile if the opponent uses Journey to Nowhere or similar.

Nice! Morph + Cloudshift is a very ingenious combo.
