This is the final-ish build of my reanimate deck. It's tournament ready, though a little pricey. Here's the walkthrough: Your opening hand wants to look something like a land, then either Entomb / Buried Alive or Careful Study with at least one creature in hand, and either Exhume / Reanimate . If you cannot get some combination of those cards, then you want your draw spells: Ponder , Brainstorm , Personal Tutor (specifically for buried/reanimate), Ransack the Lab .

Your actual OTK combo really only consists of Urabrask the Hidden and an Impervious Greatwurm , but I've sideboarded them in favor of Iona, Shield of Emeria and Chancellor of the Annex , as both are great for disrupting your opponent as just getting Iona on the field or countering turn one plays is generally enough to snowball a victory. Of course, for true multicolored decks, you can replace Iona and Griselbrand for the OTK included in the sideboard. Getting out Iona, Shield of Emeria turn one/two/three (at the latest) is really the playstyle, and it's best to soft lock your opponent and finish them off with Chancellors or Griselbrand. Use Dark Ritual and Lotus Petal to accomplish the combo faster!

Enjoy, and don't forget to upvote/leave comments/questions/suggestions!
