Started it with a crazy idea and way too much idealism, endend with a classical but not unpleasant Mill-Reanimator build.

The main mechanics are very simple : milling myself and my opponents to get fat graveyards, thus allowing targeted or mass reanimation. Both mechanics let Konrad ping the table slowly but surely, or very fast when the stars align correctly. I added a few board wipes for control and/or huge ping packs, a few protection stuff for Konrad and of course, a few wincons with massive ping allowance like Morality Shift, Mindcrank, Mesmeric Orb or Memory Jar. There's a lot of ramps, probably too few drawing mechanisms and a few useful things like infect with Phyresis and lifelink with Whip of Erebos.

I'll drop a more detailed description in a few days.

Still wondering if adding more protective spells for the Syr? Or if it is necessary to lower the mana curve a bit? And finally, I'm pretty sure I could use way more draw mechanics but I'm still hesitating on which I could add and, more painful, what they would replace.

Any help about these issues (or other unnoticed ones) is welcome.
