This is my competitive (Bo3) Esper Reanimator deck. It revolves around getting Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger out on turn 4. Most times if you can do that successfully, you have a very high chance of a win. Ultimately, CONTROL the board.

Faithful Mending - Sorcery - Draw 2, Discard 2, Gain 2 life, AND FLASHBACK!! Step 1. Drop Ulamog. Drop Rites.

Liliana of the Veil - Planeswalker - Isn't she just the best tho?

Unburial Rites - Sorcery - Reanimate from your grave. Put big boi in. Let the opponent think it out. They will either have something to stop you, or they won't. Now the clock starts ticking.

Any suggestions shoot a comment, upvote if you dig it!
