Need help with reanimator!

[Thetrufflehunter]

Hey guys, building a netdeck (5c craterhoof reanimator) which was originally from pre-RtR, and I need help finding cards to take the place of outdated cards. I unfortunately bought a play set of {birds of paradise} for $20 (it was store credit so it's not as bad), so I need a standard-legal replacement for that. Switching {blade Splicer} for {gather the townsfolk}, unless I should use something else?

The Splicer (foil) and 4 BoP are up for trade, in case you are wondering.

Have you considered Deathrite Shaman instead of BoP's?

Or if you run a lot of the shock lands (forest ones) Arbor elf is a good alternative.

Deathrites might work but they are expensive and don't fix mana..

I have 4 overgrown tombs, and if I come across other shocks I will nab them.

If youre running {grisly salvage} (which you should be if youre playing BG reanimator,) {deathrite shaman} can be an excellent mana fixer. Even more so if you throw in {Borborygmos enraged} and {mulch}.

Totally forgot about the shamen's first ability. What should I take out for grisly salvage? And if anyone has shamens, I need 3 of them (I have 1 already).

Well 4 hoofs is way tooo risky with all
The Aggro!  I run 1-2 in my build.   Place top 4 every week.  Luck out and get 1st every 3rd week.

Care to post a decklist?

[Calebestes]

Yeah I'll bump it.

[Thetrufflehunter]

My deck is built around craterhoof with tokens, while yours isn't..

[Calebestes]

Mines built to win.  Lol if crater hoof is your only win con, then good luck. 

[Thetrufflehunter]

Point taken. This IS built solely around craterhoof, and is directly from daily mtg though... Is there a way to keep the craterhoof aspect yet make it standard worthy?

[Calebestes]

Yeah.  My build.  You can run as many hoofs as you want.  But you don't want all te tokens.  They can be killed so easy. 

[Mothaelon]

There isn't anything wrong with tokens.

Any card can be answered or taken care of easily. Dismissing them because you feel they can be answered is silly.

I can answer craterhoof too. So is this person not allowed to use it now? Because that's the attitude you gave off.

Don't push yourself and ideas on someone else to inflate your ego.

[Thetrufflehunter]

Not sure which cards to take out for some {grisly salvage}s, and I want to stick a {borborygmos enraged} in here somewhere. Also, what should make up my sideboard?

[Calebestes]

Right.....ego.  He asked for my opinion.  So I gave.  Then you get all mad when I gave it.  Been playing reanimator for months and been play testing different builds for months.  So far, mine does best in my meta.   Sorry it places top 3 every Sunday.  I must be doing something right.
