Looking for a Skeleton List for Reanimator

TL;DR:
I need help building an efficient Reanimator package for a general who doesn't reanimate creatures. If I get that figured out, I can build the rest of the deck from there.
Introduction
Hey guys.
I'm trying to make my Inalla, Archmage Ritualist precon into a good/fun deck.
I want to abuse the ETB strategy for Inalla, so I'm putting in cards like:
Cards That I Own
I own cards for a Tribal deck, so I'd like to put in my cards like:
I also own just a few cards I've seen in common reanimator builds:
The Big Problem:
Considering that I plan to replace the majority of my Instants and Sorceries with ETB Wizards, I realized if I wanted to use them more than once, I'd have to build some kind of Reanimator package for the deck.
If there's any strategy in EDH that I suck at the most, it's definitely reanimator!
Do any of you have a simple decklist or skeleton of Reanimator staples that I need to put in the deck? I would greatly appreciate any help.
The basic package you want for reaanimator is typically:
Reanimate Animate Dead Necromancy Entomb
Sometimes you want:
Dance of the Dead Buried Alive
I would warn against trying to mix in the tribal stuff unless you are doing the Wanderwine Prophets. The main strategy for reanimator is cheating in creatures that benefit you. So I'd offer up running Jin-Gitaxis and/or Sire Of Insanity and depending on your spice level Sire of Stagnation.

Impact Tremors damages for each creature entering the field and you will have tokens and bringing things back. I mean it is kind of like a zombie deck so similar cards used for that Gravepurge Footbottom Feast

I mostly want to do ETB shenanigans. The tribal stuff will be nice as it will make casting the creatures easier and cards like Shared Animosity will give me a backup plan in case I can't find my combo fast enough.
In your experienced opinion, if you think I'm saturating the deck too much with reanimator pieces, then by all means do tell! I am open ears.

god_dammit_nappa I actually don't think you are saturating with too many reanimation pieces. I just think you are wanting to go too many directions right now. If you want I have a stax/reanimatorish list Deathkeeper's Lament. It's jund so we share two colours.

Not a reanimation spell, but if you're looking to reuse ETBs on your wizards, a card like Wizard Mentor fits, and fits the tribal wizard theme.
