Ok, so I pulled an Avacyn recently and I pulled an Iona a while ago, and I've wanted to build a Reanimator deck since then. I could really use some suggestions or ideas. Going into building this deck a tad blind. I've just been wanting to use them haha.

There are probably better creatures then {Avacyn, Angel of Hope} to use {reanimate} on. Like maybe Hexproof angel, maybe {Griselbrand}.
I'm not planning on just using {Reanimate}, btw. I'm just wanting to build a deck that throws stuff in the graveyard to put back on the field. I am actually in the process of getting a Griselbrand. I'm just looking for suggestions on what to use to get creatures out of the graveyard, and what creatures I should put in the graveyard to begin with.
T1 {dark ritual}
{entomb} a {griselbrand} {reanimate} = profit?

Yeah, those too. I actually need a couple {Entomb}s :(
Check the decklist for the Premium Deck Series: Graveborn.
{Craterhoof Behemoth} is excellent for a reanimate deck if you're playing with {Geist Honored Monk} as well.
IMHO, you want a toolbox of reanimator targets based on what you need to win at the time, which is something that I really likes about the Graveborn deck. Some of the fatties in my current iteration are {Sheoldred, Whispering One} + {It That Betrays}, {Reya Dawnbringer}, {Avacyn, Angel of Hope} + {Magus of the Disk}, {Drogskol Reaver}.
Don't forget your {Buried Alive}s, {Zombie Infestation}s, and {Dread Return}s. Let me tell you, T1: {Dark Ritual}, {Buried Alive} for Sheoldred, I.T.B., and Avacyn followed by a T2: {Exhume} Sheoldred is a great way to lose friends. ;) Especially with T3 It That Betrays.

I'm actually planning on buying one, then taking it apart and using all the stuff I need haha. And that is why I want to build a deck like this. There are so many possibilities for an amazing deck that'll win in a few turns. I just need to get the cards haha. I honestly didn't think of It That Betrays, though. That's a pretty awesome little combo.
I have actually seen a couple deck lists that utilize Craterhoof and Geist Honored Monk. I just need to find the best way to run this deck! Haha
