Saw someone's post on the ban list about some good t1 stuff so threw this reanimator list together. Can't screw with mana base too much simply because I don't have the expensive lands. I do like this list tho.

I don't think  {Soul Spike} Is good enough, honestly.  Needs more fetch lands but that's something you can work on. Some cards to consider:
{Chrome Mox}
{Goryo's Vengeance} (or  {Necromancy} For a slightly slower instant speed alternative)
{Thoughtseize} (another way to bin your fatties)
{Duress} (you need a way to protect your combo since you're not running blue/counters)
{Silence} (see above, for times you can't go off turn 1)

I'll revisit this if I think of other suggestions.

[Falcon182]

Oh, less lands. Maybe 18-20.

How do you reanimate emrakul? I've found t2 {sire of insanity} insane

Also why  {Goryo's Vengeance} or {Necromancy} is a good addition to the deck.

Is Emrakul worth it? I mean if they counter Vengeance/Necro/Shallow you still have to entomb again whereas with something else you don't lose it I'm a fan of Iona and maybe another one personally

Reanimator straight up is a different deck than this. That's why the discard and/or silence are critical.

Is this better guys?

I'd play {gin gitaxis} over {sire of insanity}

{Jin-Gitaxis, Core Augur}

{Jin-Gitaxis, Core Augur}

Problem with that is you're all legendary creature base is wicked soft to  {Karakas}. I like  {Grave Titan} as my non legendary reanimate target. Leaves behind value the turn its played.

The difference is you give your opponent a chance to answer in their opening 7 and draw with Jin. Sire puts them into top deck mode instantly and the have to hit a land drop

I don't know all that much about legacy. I was just posting taysby's card in an easy to understand format for others.

Drop white, add blue. This deck just folds to countermagic and hate, you need your own countermagic to force through combo. It also gives you access to fixing like BS and Ponder. Jin Gitaxias is better b/c he draws you into countermagic and more reanimation if he is plowed.

This is the "real" Tin Fins deck:

separately, going b/w and discard/silence route is possible. Not having the blue cards makes it less consistent but I think it's still possible to have a reasonable deck.
