Where's {animate dead}, and what does your mana base look like.

How much are you looking to spend on this deck? Do you want it to be competitive or just for fun? You can add fetch lands, and {force of will}, {spell pierce}, {underground sea}

Duals and fetches and fow will be a problem. Is {foil} a good sub for fow do you think? I have a list of the cheaper cards that I still need. And I'm planning on taking this to local tourneys. So at least semi competitive

Fetches are probably more important than duals starting off.

{foil} isn't bad, you can discard one of your creatures to it so you can pull it out of gy later. Play around with it, see how it does in those tourneys and you will see if it needs work or not.

The u/b fetch is a little pricey too. I can slowly aquire those though. In the meantime what do you guys think about some of the zendikar fetches? No sure which ones I would use considering they're enemy colors. Watery grave might also be an option to substitute the underground seas? I'll have to play around with it. Thanks for all the input!

I like the zendikar fetch lands, I use {scalding tarn}

The fetch count for a legacy reanimate deck is: 4 deltas and 2 blue and 2 black.

I only have 1 delta so I increased each.
