Greetings,

 

I need help with my U/B reanimator toolbox that's in progress. My deck can deal with a lot of deck types. Let me explain the reanimated creatures. Akroma beats down, the Avatar is my creature removal, the Titan can really kill my opponent's tempo and is always a good way to nuke oppposing dual lands, the Nishoba is to deal with mass creature swarm i.e. goblins, Razia is my not-as-potent Akroma, Verdant Force is to deal with edicts and the tokens can serve as chump blockers, Platinum Angel is my answer to decks I can't deal with easily, and Arcanis is great against control decks and refills my hand. I'm considering adding Crosis, the Purger since it's a Persecute with legs and is a 6/6 flyer. My deck runs smoothly right now, but some help would really be appreciated.

 

Here's the decklist-

 

Creatures(12):

 

Akroma, Angel of Wrath-1

Avatar of Woe-1

Sundering Titan-1

Phantom Nishoba-1

Razia, Boros Archangel-1

Verdant Force-1

Platinum Angel-1

Arcanis the Omnipotent-1

Putrid Imp-4

 

Non-creatures(30):

 

Duress-4

Buried Alive-4

Impulse-4

Careful Study-4

Exhume-4

Reanimate-4

Lotus Petal-4

Demonic Tutor-1

Yawgmoth's Will-1

 

Lands(18):

 

Island-5

Swamp-9

Underground River-4

 

Thanks,

 

Mr. Anderson

Next, the cards with which you do the actual reanimating.  Exhume looks fine, provided your opponent doesn't have something scary in his graveyard.  Reanimate, on the other hand, worries me.  If you want to target, say, Verdant Force with it, you lose seven life.  That's about a third of what you had when you started.  Can you really afford to pay that much life?  I doubt it.  So, replace Reanimate with something.  The best options I can find are Zombify, Beacon of Unrest, Animate Dead, and Doomed Necromancer, but there are still other options open if you can find them.
