After a lot of tweaking, here is the first iteration of my Tariel, Reckoner of Souls reanimator deck!. Do you like big expensive flying angels? Do you like cheating out big expensive flying angels on turn 2? Do you like wiping the board 3 or 4 times only to have your own big expensive flying angels keep coming back? Then this deck might be for you. Here are the cards of note:

Buried Alive / Entomb: Reanimator staples, shouldnt need much of an introduction. Search for the angel(s) you most need at the given time. I tend to prioritize Avacyn, Gisela, and Aurelia for pure damage output potential, but take what you need given the situation.

Patriarch's Bidding: More often than not, this is my game- ender. Even just a few angels in the graveyard hasted out with Anger will take 1 or two opponents out of the game. The three angels listed above will net 64 damage in one turn with this combo, which can be activated as early as turn 3.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope: Another card that needs little introduction, this is typically my first go to angel.

Land Tax: Long time commander staple, with a nice twist for this deck specifically. Flooding out your hand with land allows you to discard big angels into the graveyard, and provides fuel for Demonic Collusion

Sneak Attack: Probably my favorite card in the deck. Allows for instant speed angels with etb effects, which get sent to the graveyard afterward as a bonus. Combos well with Ghostway.

Wrath of God: This along with other board wipes ensure you make it to late game and are able to send as many creatures to graveyards as possible while getting yours back.

Any and all recommendations are welcome, as long as recommended cards are priced within reason.
