[NillaWafers]

Classic Reanimator 81 cards, 15 sideboard 16 {Swamp} 16 lands 3 {Charnelhoard Wurm} 2 {Sphinx of the Steel Wind} 4 {Putrid Imp} 1 {Akroma, Angel of Wrath} 1 {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} 2 {Spellbound Dragon} 3 {Maelstrom Archangel} 16 creatures 3 {Shallow Grave} 4 {Memory Sluice} 4 {Entomb} 4 {Dark Ritual} 4 {Animate Dead} 4 {Skull Fracture} 3 {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} 4 {Force of Will} 4 {Exhume} 34 other spells Sideboard 1 {Maelstrom Archangel} 4 {Dimir Doppelganger} 3 {Nacatl War-Pride} 3 {Kokusho, the Evening Star} 4 {Underground Sea} 15 sideboard cards

The sideboard is impractical I know. But funny enough I think.

Should the Nicol Bolas be the dragon?  How would you cast it?

[NillaWafers]

{Maelstrom Archangel} silly! =P Bolas first turn is pretty devastating. Oh, did you want that first land you just played? I'm sorry but it really must go!

It's also Force fodder if necessary.

I would not want to run into this deck in a dark alley. Pray I get to play first and manage to draw a {Grafdigger's Cage}. Otherwise I'd totally get mugged! 🔫

[NillaWafers]

I would have to make sure to have a {Force of Will} in my starting hand when the second round starts because otherwise there is nothing I can do about that!! So touché mon ami.

This took me a few years of tweaking and I think this is it's meanest reincarnation yet. =)

It shows!  Is it 1 on 1 or multiplayer?

[NillaWafers]

Well, both I guess? I mean its fast enough to be 1-on-1 because it lands a bomb first turn and that's what it was first created as. But this specific version was created out of necessity in multiplayer. My current Meta liked to gang up and get rid of me as quickly as possible. Well they still do, but especially so whenever they see the pink sleeves (this deck)  .  I used to poke fun of them for ganging up on a  girl but it really didn't phase them. Eventually there came a point where no matter how fast the deck was, I couldn't handle them all so it became necessary to change tactics. So by changing things to have a blue flair, {Force of Will} became possible.    It handles itself well in either format I think.

So in answer to your question: Yes. 

[BlackJester]

Awesome!  Sometimes I'll change up my sleeves, just to keep'em guessing. I'm proud when the boys "pick on" me 'cause that means theyre afraid. 😁

I typically tune a deck to a certain point then record it and dismantle. Off to the next idea.

[NillaWafers]

Wow, you just summed up my weekly routine! And iMTG just made my life so much easier in that respect. I think it was the funniest thing ever when I switched  my Infect deck in the anime space girl sleeves. Their faces were priceless. Oh the confusion.  But these days; to save on money, I chose to just buy purple matte sleeves. So everything is all in the same sleeves. Yay cost effectiveness!

👍👏👏👏💪
Lately, my ratio of new decks to games played mean that I sometimes retire a deck after only two or three games. The guys never know what to expect from me. Heehehe

[NillaWafers]

Well keep it up.... and lets wreak some havoc!! Woohoo!

In my reanimater deck I used {Necrotic Ooze} + {Phyrexian Devourer} + {Triskelion} combo. Possible turn 1 kill with this combo.

[cltrn81]

My fav reanimator combo is.  {Sheoldred, whispering one} + {It that betrays}....said it b4 and I say it again

I took the deck apart because it just becomes unfun when you T1 {dark ritual}, {entomb}, {animate dead} Sheoldred or some other big nasty.....the game us pretty well sewed up

That's what I'm making my edh all about. well that and {Debtor's Knell} and {Emeria the Sky Ruin} and {Reya Dawnbringer} etc.  But yea, first turn Eldrazi god hits the field is never really fun for either player.
