Is Simic Sky Swallower or Inkwell Leviathan better?

Commander Deck Help forum

I'm currently working on Tasigur, the Golden Fang EDH, and I'm getting fatties for reanimation. So what's better:

Simic Sky Swallower, Inkwell Leviathan or Both?

Any other good reanimation or reanimation targets you guys know, too?

The answer is probably Yes. Inkwell helps hurt other blue decks, while SSS is just hard to deal with period.

By yes do you mean both?

Yes, you should probably run both. That's generally how the dialogue of "Should I do X or Y?" -> "Yes." means :)

FAMOUSWATERMELON - That was purely unintentional, but it's still funny now that I've seen it that way.

i think there are probably better things to be reanimating in a tasigur edh deck. Sheoldred, the Whispering One or Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur are both insane. sheoldred works well with a self-mill strategy which you are probably using if you are reanimating and jin-gitaxis just doesnt let your opponent play the game

Interesting... Any other advise for good reanimate on targets? Vorinclex? Terastodon? Woodfall Primus?

Any ideas for good reanimation spells, too?

vorinclex is also insane but from experience people will hate you off of the table for playing it. terrastodon is also really good. You can also just reanimate value creatures to basically use your graveyard as your hand so make sure you play Consecrated Sphinx, Prophet of Kruphix, etc.

As far as reanimation spells, you can't go wrong with the classics: Reanimate, Exhume, Makeshift Mannequin, and don't forget Oversold Cemetery. And your enablers Entomb and Buried Alive.
