I would recommend scrapping your idea to play rites and build a RDW, RG Aggro or Naya Blitz
Naya blitz is what i already have... It's boring.

Your kidding right? Junk rites is the
Best deck if
You beat someone playing it there probably bad at it.

Also you want to craterhoof when you have enough to do damage, the best part
Though, he gives your creatures trample, so just add there life total and the toughness of the creatures blocking(some creatures may very) If you can do the same
Ammount of damage or
More play him.

Normally you want to reanimate serenity first To save you, and then hoof to win you

The difference between a good junk reanimator and a great one is {Séance}. This card makes the difference. How many you run depends but definitely more than one.

Another thing that junk reanimator needs to be great is a splash of red. Not a lot, just enough to:
- hard cast {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} late game if you have to (she saves you against the aggro matchup, definitely run her.)
- run {Slayer's Stronghold} (VERY helpful card. Hasted {Trostani, Selesnya's Voice}, or even hasted {Deathrite Shaman} is extemely useful.
- run {Slaughter Games} in the sideboard.

Some good cards are:
{Craterhoof Behemoth}
{Thragtusk}
{Deathrite Shaman}
{Trostani, Selesnya's Voice}
{Obzedat, Ghost Council}
{Disciple of Bolas}
{Angel of Serenity}

Disciple of bolas is such a good card. Especially with Séance! Séance in a disciple and sac your {Thragtusk}, or séance in a thrag to and cast disciple! Séance plus trostani can let you populate anything. Craterhoof tokens. Thrag tokens. Angel tokens.

I know all this because although I don't run reanimator, my friend does. He almost always wins FNM. Without Séance, the deck would not be near as good. Some people put in resto angels instead, but test it. Resto angels help you gain value, but séance makes you win when you have a craterhoof in the yard and no rites left. And it gains you a ton of value in the meantime.

I haven't tested seance in mine I run 3 resto, IMO resto is better against aggro
But if your meta is control and midrange go with seance

Lol true dat

Really good stuff guys, now do you have any of it for trade XD?

Again, I may ask about {treasure find}. I love this card in a reanimator deck. Use your reanimate spell to get what you want. Then use treasure find to put it back on top your library.
Not a 4 of. But I always run 2

My point is if you're asking how to play the deck, go with something simpler.
I already went through simpler, and it's boring. I'm experienced enough to take on a harder playstyle.

If its simpler and easier for you, it will be much less stressful to play over 7 or 8 rounds.

When you're playing that amount of magic in a day, it need to be second nature if you want to be successful, and I think at this conjecture if knowing how to play the deck isn't instinctive, it's a mistake to bring it to a GP and expect to be successful.
Well i'm gonna have a lot of playtest on it at multiple fnms, so i will have it at second nature level.
Plus i like the stressful rounds, hardcore spike player type here.
