Points list - Demonic Tutor [4] Gifts Ungiven [2] Mystical Tutor [2] Spellseeker [1]

Been tweaking this Canlander list for a few months- in its original form, it dominated my local scene but the meta has shifted towards UG Sorenson tempo/Bant blink (both of which have proven difficult to beat).

This form of Reanimator definitely trends towards the pseudo-combo form; returning a huge creature within the first couple of turns and going for the kill. Repeat until opponent runs out of answers or you run out of steam.

Notable upgrades to make include adding the Grixis duals; I've also debated adding a white splash for Unburial Rites. A couple more fetches wouldn't go amiss, either.
