I've got a stockpile of cards here, and no deck to build. So we're gonna throw it out there.

Round 1 will consist of picking a Commander. Majority rules (always bested by Common sense however).
Results: {Grenzo, Dungeon Warden}
Prize: Artist signed {Oppression} (7th Edition)
Winner: FlickerYourOwnIdentity

Round 2 will consist of choosing an archetype. Similar to the first round.
Results: Reanimator
Prize: Artist signed {Propaganda} (Tempest)
Winner: InfinitiveDivinity

Round 3 will consist of card selection
• Each person picks 8 card for the theme.
• Card choices are accompanied by a little write-up as to why it was selected. To be included in the deck tech.
• Each user will be credited for their choice.
Prize: 3 Antiquities Urzatron Lands! {Urza's Tower}. {Urza's Mine} and an artist signed {Urza's Power Plant} (Mark Tedin)
Winner(s):

Round 4 will be optimization and final cuts.



Phase 3 we will now be taking 3 card suggestions per user

4 contributors will be selected for a set of Antiquities Urzatron lands! Each user will receive a different style of artwork then each other. The {Urza's Power Plant} are all signed by Mark Tedin!

Dudecore

4 contributors will selected at Random to receive one of 4 prizes in this round! Contributors to the previous round will have their name entered TWICE into the random drawing. You're twice as likely to win one of these 4 prizes!

Contribute 3 cards that will help our theme of Grenzo reanimate to be eligible!

 {Ashenmoor Liege}, {Deathbringer Thoctar}, and {Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch}

Exava can give haste to all of the creatures that Liege gives +1/+1 counters to, then death ringer can buff himself if your creatures die (ie. Creatures that can be reanimated) then get ping people later, or attack :3

Too bad liege gives a static +1/1.  What he gives is not a +1/1 counter like you think. :(

Munchlax

{Reito Lantern} {Cellar Door} {Purphoros God of the Forge}.
Lantern seems self explanatory simply because your general pulls from the bottom of your library. It can shove your dead creatures to the bottom quite easily. Cellar door is bottom of the library filtering as well as giving you zombies when you hit a creature. Purphoros is just a good, solid red card for most decks

Cuts and optimization happen in the next round. If a suboptimal card is suggested we cut it in the next round. :)

Vindog

 {Arcbound Crusher} ,  {Arcbound Overseer},  {Arcbound Ravager} you could take the modular approach and no matter what hehe always puts them into play for free because they all have a p/t of 0

griffin131

{Living End} because if we're going to flood out graveyard with creatures, let's get them all out.
{Necropotence} because Card Draw is awesome.
{Cabal Coffers} because mana is awesome - and with {Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth} it's lots of mana.
{Blood Artist} for some life gain.

Need a good Sac Outlet.

Edit to add: 
{Opal Palace} for more +1 counters.
{Skull Rend} because it's just good in EDH.
{Rakdos Charm} because EDH token hordes are a thing.
{Coffin Queen} for reanimate shenanigans.
{Attrition} as a sac outlet/removal
{Whip of Erebos} for life gain and reanimate shenanigans.

{Sol Ring}. Like really, why did no one say that yet? Also, {Terminate} because of really good creature removal and  {Rakdos Charm} because  destroying artifacts is important and the other modes give you some flexibility. {Master of Cruelties} is a win con in a card, reanimate it, cheat it in with Grenzo, it works. {Demonic Tutor} because it's better then Vampiric Tutor, and tutors are always good. {Gamble} for the best Tutor in the game if it works. {Wild Ricochet} saves butts, probably ours, no one expects a counterspell in Rakdos. And how about {Shriekmaw} for that utility creature POWAH.

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

{Living Death} mass reanimation, {Life's Finale} cool board wipe and the ability can be used to grab reanimation targets, and {Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni} because it is cool and on theme.

MuggyWuggy

{Strands of Night}
Pump out those creatures in your GY for low price each

{Flayer of the Hatebound}
Damage opponents or threats when reanimating

{Crucible of Worlds}
Card #1 doesn't hurt your mana base so badly anymore ;)

{Sire of Insanity}
Rakdos Flavor, you can reanimate, they won't have answers anymore except what they deck

{whip of ErebOs} life gain and an attack is just fun, then you get the Flayer of the hate bound damage also

{malignus} - whip him back with Flayer on the field, flash in {dictate of twin gods} - that's pretty much game over. Damage cannot be prevented from Flayer proc!

{dictate of the twin gods} - because flash double damage is sweet

{avatar of woe} because he's so damn good

These are my crazy 8(8)s


theravenseye

I'd say {Morgue Burst}, {Seething Song} and {Buried Alive}. The bust because it's a reanimator/burn effect. The Seething Song because the deck needs acceleration to work at optimal efficiency. And buried alive so that there are more things to reanimate.

DimirOverlord1300

{Reanimate}, {Animate Dead} - Seriously people voted reanimator and didn't suggest these yet?

{Entomb} - We need our fatties in the grave to reanimate em!

Oh.  But they are still decent...I think

{bladewing the risen} - dragon sub theme, maybe?

{drakestown forgotten} - huge creature

{corpse connoisseur} - getting specific things (maybe utility creatures) into the graveyard for reanimation

To continue with the dragon theme

{steel hellkite}
{bogardan hillkite}
{sarkhan the mad}
{moonveil dragon}
