Basking Rootwalla isn't banned in modern, it just wasn't printed in a modern legal set.

Bookrook you've made an excellent recommendation in Blazing Rootwalla, because it was actually printed as an ode to the formerly printed (and now Modern banned) Basking Rootwalla. I love that you've reminded me of the Fire-Gecko, and I'm obviously going to need to playtest it. 10/10 recommendation. Thanks!

I also thought of Haakon and reanimator in general (though I didn't think of Gitrog and that's a cool idea). The simple solution there is to keep some, or all, or your reanimator spells in sideboard so you always have access to them. I'm also a huge can of Bloodghast which would be pretty sick with Gitrog and Crucible of Worlds, or maybe Life from the Loam (or both).
Fae also affords you the unique ability to keep some toolbox reanimator targets in your sideboard like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobyte or Serra's Emissary, and still use them game 1.
The other thing you could do is throw in some Madness cards (I'm thinking Basking Rootwalla type stuff), as well as like, Dragon's Rage Channeler or other stuff with Delirium or Threshold.
Too bad "exiled" is no longer considered "outside the game", or Flashback would be insane with this card. Even just sideboarding a Past in Flames would be busted. Also the Evoke creatures with the free evoke costs (cuz you could reanimate them as well as remove a card and wish for it later). Alas.

You could splash and run Basking Rootwalla . Also, Anje Falkenrath is a great madness enabler. More so for combo but…
You could also run Terminal Agony in place of Big Game Hunter for more consistent removal.

Bazaar of Baghdad 's ability will cause you to draw 2 cards (taking the top two cards of your library and adding them to your hand) and discard 2 cards (exiling two copies of Basking Rootwalla from your hand and putting Vengevine from your hand into your graveyard). Then both Basking Rootwalla 's madness abilities will trigger. One will resolve, letting you cast it (moving it from exile to the stack), and when it resolves it will move from the stack to the battlefield. Then the second madness trigger will resolve letting you cast it (moving it from exile to the stack) triggering Vengevine 's trigger. Once Vengevine 's ability resolves, it will move from the graveyard to the battlefield, then Basking Rootwalla will resolve moving it from the stack to the battlefield.

if i use a Bazaar of Baghdad and discard 2x Basking Rootwalla and 1x Vengevine - does activating the Basking Rootwalla madness effect - in turn then proc the Vengevine effect for 2 creatures? Im not sure how the madness effects resolve on the stack if im discarding all 3 at the same time - or if the Vengevine would have to already have been in my graveyard first for its effect to go off.

Okay, this may be late, but I felt maybe I should comment on this thread. Here is what I hope for:
-I probably have a pretty controversial opinion regarding modern horizon 2. Here me out... I don't want them to print powerful tier 1 cards. The decks out on top don't need any support, and I can't trust wizards with designing powerful modern cards.
-I don't want them to just simply print legacy powerhouses and essentially warp modern into a slightly cheaper legacy. I also don't want them to print cards that make others obsolete. Variety is one of the best parts of making decks. I don't just want to go, "I am making a blue deck so I am automatically putting in Force of Will or Counterspell " because all other interesting options are obsolete. Magic is best when they limit power in a meaningful way.
-I want Modern Horizons 2 to focus on archetypes of Modern's past and also on tier 2 decks. This is where the heart of Modern actually is. No offence, but the competitive side of modern has always been toxic.
-I want to see more of that spell with land spells from Zendikar Rising. I realize they can be used in combo decks, but my mana-bases have never been more engaging. I want these, as well as any new useful utility card and can-trips at common and uncommon (with them being more powerful given a particular deck archetype)
-I want the rare pool to consist of: for EDH cards (jank for modern but interesting enough to make jank decks with them), some middle of the road cards that some and not all decks will play, and only 2 or 3 mythics that are powerful but only in a specific not top tier archetype (or perhaps one to revive old modern archetypes)
-I want them to once again give us tribal support. Maybe even bringing to light some in the background. Rats, Saprolings, Faeries, More ninjas (I just like them), bears, cats, spirits, zombies, and so on.
-A new Splinter twin (maybe if not unbanning it, maybe make a more acceptable one). Don't need to be tier 1 material, its just an interesting card design.
- Careful Study or a red color shifted version. The thing about Faithless Looting (plz no new artwork), was that the flashback to me was a bit too much. I won't mind one with rummaging instead of Looting (discard then draw)
- Sapphire Charm (just a personal favourite of mine, maybe possible since they did mention phasing in recently
-Snow land Hate. This may be unusual to say, but there is currently no real reason not to run snow lands over basics. If everyone runs snow lands if powerful snow land cards are printed in the future, the price of basic lands will go up and people won't get to use the precious artword for basics mtg has had for years. Essencially, I want a BloodMoon but for snow lands. If they do this, I would love to see MH2 to expariment more with snow lands and permanents.
-Bogle, Heroic, and or Aura support. Other on another note, make an even better tier 2 vehicle deck for modern.
-Worse Mox Opal
-Modal Charms
-Finishing the Triomes, Borderpost. Oh dude, what if there was fetchable mana-rocks that enter tapped that ordinarily cost 3.
-Another Black card that is enchantment removal.
