Hey all. I'm making a {Thraximundar} EDH deck based around the reanimator strategy. Could probably use a commander better suited for those needs but this is my first EDH from scratch and that's the only eligible card I have in those colors. Anyway, I have eight reanimator spells but I feel like there's more, and this is where I need help. So far I have {doomed necromancer}, {havengul lich}, {rise from the grave}, {reanimate}, {animate dead}, {zombify}, {dread return}, and {exhume}. Would like to possibly drop {exhume} considering it helps everyone out. Any help is much appreciated!

What is that one guys name that you can pay 3 black and 3 life to bring a creature back?  And {entomb} and {burial}
{Chainer, dementia master}? That's a nice one but I don't know how I feel about his "exile nightmares" ability.

Edit: just noticed it applies to all graveyards. That's not a bad card if I drop in some more kill spells.

{Sedris the Traitor King} isn't bad {Sheoldred Whispering One} is good. {Whip of Erebos} is ok but it helps with pulling good ETB guys out of the gy. Also if you have a sac outlet you won't have to exile. Which is awesome with cards like {Kokusho, Evening Star}. {Mimic Vat} is also a great utility card in a reanimator deck. Along with {Grave Pact}.

Ooh very nice. I think I found a new commander via {sedris the traitor king}. I have the {B}{U}{R} praetors but I hear putting them into an EDH is sort of a Richard move hahah.

Also very nice. I'm so glad I asked about this. I already have a wealth of ideas just from what's been suggested so far.

{Reya Dawnbringer} is perfect, if you can get white.

Awe yes. That is definitely making me think about switching to Esper. That would also give access to {unburial rites}.

That's a whole different style of reanimator lol still fun though. Junk colors are my favorite though.

That's a fun idea.

Also, if you play that, let's not forget the white staple for reanimator. {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite}.

NyghtHawk

{Sheoldred, whispering one}
{Necromancy}
{Dance of the dead}
{Buried alive}
{Beacon of unrest}
{Profane command}
{Diabolic servitude}
{Dread return}
{Entomb}
