Ok, so I've decided to put a little more work into my esper deck now that I have an idea for what I want to do. What would be some auto-includes for a re-animator deck in W/U/B? My commander is going to be Oloro, Ageless Ascetic
ahh thanks those area all good ones. Any ideas for good targets to reanimate? The goal is to be competitive without without being so overpowering that it ruins the game for everyone else. In my play group it's not a problem if the same person keeps winning all the time as long as they aren't constantly winning by locking everyone out or insta-win infinite combos. Basically as long as everyone enters the game feeling like they got a chance it doesn't matter who wins.

When playing reanimator decks the purpose is to pull out powerful creatures without paying the mana cost.
So toss in some eldrazis for fun ;)
Not an instant win, even by turn 1 or two, because it depends on what your play group can dish out early game too.
Check out my mono black edh deck for some ideas.
Plus you'd want some cards to discard creatures from your hand, reanimate them after.

Unburial Rites and Rescue from the Underworld are awesome too.
There quite a few thing that do mass reanimation too. Some cards even can repeatable reanimate. Like Chainer, Dementia Master .

Archangel of Thune of course. Also, if you wanna swap out Oloro for French 1v1, i would highly suggest Merieke Ri Berit as commander. and don't forget white has reanimator, too! Miraculous Recovery , Breath of Life , Resurrection

Balthor the Defiled is pretty great too.
As for reanimation targets, all 3 of the praetors in your colors are great, Ashen Rider is fantastic, eldrazi, ect.
