Trying out a Tier 1 build of cEDH. I am using Thrasios, Triton Hero and Tymna the Weaver for not only their color identities but also their ability to generate card advantage. This is a midrange/reanimator build that utilizes few dead cards and can hold its own against an unknown meta.

Strategy 1:

Demonic Consultation / Tainted Pact + Thassa's Oracle = Win!

Strategy 1 is pretty self-explanatory, as it's the best win-condition in the cEDH format currently. It's a fast and efficient 2 card combo.

Strategy 2:

Lion's Eye Diamond + Auriok Salvagers = "Infinite" mana.

Strategy 2 is one of the simplest ways to achieve "infinite" colored mana to which, we can use Thrasios, Triton Hero as an outlet to draw the rest of our library. From here we can assemble the win conditions of either Thassa's Oracle , Laboratory Maniac , or Timetwister loops.

Twister Loops:

Timetwister + Noxious Revival + Swan Song + Draw Effect + Random Instant/Sorcery = Generate "Infinite" 2/2 birds.

Timetwister + Noxious Revival + Assassin's Trophy + Draw Effect = Blow up all opponents' permanents.

Why Reanimator?

Razaketh, the Foulblooded

This allows us to have a pseudo 1 card win-condition, to where if it resolves, we can win the game. Razaketh is very strong in stabilizing a board-state. As long as you have creatures to sacrifice, and life to pay, you have your entire deck at your disposal. If Razaketh enters the battlefield and you have a way to shut down the opponents, or if they have no answers, you can win the game with as little as 2 creatures to sacrifice in play. Vilis, Broker of Blood is a second reanimation target that allows us to stabilize by drawing cards and killing opposing threats at the same time. Also, they are just giant beaters that can easily kill our opponents with a few combats.

Razaketh Line:

Razaketh + 2 creatures to sacrifice:

1) Sacrifice 1 creature, paying 2 life, to tutor for Lion's Eye Diamond (LED), cast LED, sacrifice LED for 3 Green {G} mana.

2) Sacrifice 1 creature, paying 2 life, to tutor for Eternal Witness , cast Witness using the 3 {G}, returning LED to hand, cast LED, sacrifice for 3 Black {B} mana.

3) Sacrifice Witness, paying 2 life, to tutor for a 2 mana cost (or less) reanimation spell, use it targeting Witness, returning LED to hand, cast LED and sacrifice for 3 {B} mana.

4) Repeat step 3, except for this next sacrifice of LED, you will float either 3 White {W} or 3 Blue {U} mana, depending on the line you choose to go towards.

If you sacrifice LED for 3 {W} mana, you will tutor for Auriok Salvagers to achieve "infinite" mana.

If you sacrifice LED for 3 {U} mana, you will tutor for Thassa's Oracle , cast Oracle, with trigger on the stack, sacrifice Oracle and tutor for either Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact , cast either Consultation or Pact while Oracle's trigger is on the stack and then resolve Oracle trigger.
