This is my take on a Legacy Budget Reanimator. Any and all suggestions are welcome. A good hand has at least 1 Dark Ritual, some graveyard fill like Entomb and Buried Alive, and some form of reanimation like Animate Dead, Exhume, or Reanimate. Some basic combos:

Griselbrand + Platinum Angel : Continue to draw, and get more of your creatures into the graveyard.

Iona, Shield of Emeria + Painter's Servant : First you want to get Iona on the field and name one of the big colors your opponent is using. Then, cast Painter's Servant and name the same color. They cant cast spells and watch as you beat them down.

Cabal Therapy: To get your combo pieces into the graveyard if you have drawn into them with Griselbrand , along with some disruption.

I built this with a budget and I would like to see it stay that way.
