My Reanimator/Voltron Kathril deck that started from the Symbiotic Swarm precon.

General strategy is to fill up the graveyard and make a huge Kathril, or cast Living Death with a bunch of powerful creatures in your graveyard.

The dream is casting Buried Alive and finding Bassara Tower Archer , Kunoros, Hound of Athreos and Zetalpa, Primal Dawn . This will give Kathril 9 +1/+1 counters and Flying, Double Strike, Vigilance, Trample, Indestructible, Menace, Lifelink, Hexproof and Reach! As long as no one has something like Merciless Eviction , Cyclonic Rift or Grave Pact , you should be able to start taking out your opponents one by one with an incredibly difficult to remove monster.

Since you are dumping some very powerful creatures in your graveyard, reanimation spells like Animate Dead and Reanimate can bring back some cool creatures for cheap.

There's also some Angel tribal synergies that just kind of happened by accident, since white has several Angels with relevant keywords.

Let me know what you think and what I could change.
