So I want to build a Standard-legal reanimator deck, but I've never done this before. I think I've got the requisites nailed down well: splash red for hand fixers like Faithless Looting  and Wild Guess  ; run white and black for Unburial Rites  and Defy Death  , as well as various forms of removal; and drop in a small fistful of monstrosities like Griselbrand  , Utvara Hellkite  , and Angel of Serenity  . What I don't have a good concept for is what "filler" creatures I ought to run for the early game, since I probably won't be reanimating much until turn 4 or 5. I don't want anyone to build the deck for me or anything, but I'd love to hear your suggestions as well as the reasons you prefer them. Thanks in advance, if anyone responds.
To whom it may concern: it's getting really old, being unable to see the top half of anything autocarded in the first post of each thread. Fixplz,kthx.

Wild guess is a bit too red heavy, utvara hellkite just doesn't have the "I win" factor of other cards, because if they kill it immediately you get no value. I'm afraid they don't really belong in this deck.
I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine. Catpoints: Spoiler:

What are catpoints?
A way of measuring how much I love you.
How do I get catpoints?
1: participate in my forum games/contests.
2: make awesome posts.
3: destroy Carthage.
What can I do with catpoints?
You can ask favors of me. I may or may not agree to your favor, depending on how big the favor is and how many catpoints you have.
Who has how many catpoints?

I suppose I could see myself replacing both Wild Guess and the Hellkite with something else entirely, but unfortunately I can't afford copies of its scarier cousin  . (In fairness, the "dies to removal" argument holds just as true for Grizzy as it does for the dragon.) That said, the bigger question is still what to play during the early game. Any suggestions there?

maybe look at a few of the good reanimator lists before diving in. again junk color (WGB) are the most popular and most well rounded decks, but there are a new breed of UWR and UWRG human reanimator decks that focus on angel of glory's rise which are definitely more combo than the typical value reanimator lists that have been most common throughout the existing metagame.
Blue is the best color ever. How do you deal?

Yeah, Wynzerman; even as I was waiting for replies to this thread I was exploring current reanimator builds and noticing that they almost all seem to be running Mulch  . It kind of sucks to feel forced to splash both R and G in an otherwise WB deck, but it's manageable with the current Standard mana fixing. I think I'll end up going that route.

you don't need red, and in fact, most of the value lists to which you're referring have stopped running the red and just focusing on junk colors. that being said, you can't just be all in on reanimator since there is so much graveryard hate out there. playing a solid beatdown deck like junk which happens to have a reanimator plan is solid for this reason.
but again, the human reanimator lists are more centered on the combo and thus more suseptible to hate.

Again, I'm always two steps behind on the forum. I've nixed Red from the mix, and I'm predominantly running BG now, with W for Lingering Souls  and Divine Reckoning  . I think I'm getting somewhere, but I'd hardly assume this to be tournament worthy (though that was never the expectation).

I like the Angel of Glory's Rise route for now. Check out those lists.

I'll reference lists for ideas and commonalities, but I'll never be caught dead replicating one. If 50% of one of my decks mirrors someone else's, it's by coincidence—not design.
