2 Swamp

2 Bayou
4 Polluted Delta
4 Verdant Catacombs

4 Dark Ritual
4 Lotus Petal
1 Chrome Mox

3 Necrotic Ooze
1 Triskelion
1 Phyrexian Devourer
1 Putrid Imp
1 Griselbrand

4 Shallow Grave
2 Reanimate
1 Exhume
4 Entomb
3 Buried Alive

4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Cabal Therapy

4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder

I saw some discussion re:GitProbe/Therapy vs. Thoughtseize/Therapy. What was the consensus? I never could find a resolution. Or is it still an ongoing debate? Also wondering if Collective Brutality and/or Unmask which see play in BR Reanimator have any place in the deck.

Not sure what to use as a SB with the meta in flux... ideas?

EDIT: I built this on MTGO and ran a few games. I'm so obviously a noob at the deck!! LOL
Drop the Exhume and go to 60 cards. It's fringe, but it might enable something BR Reanimator wants to do. Two Reanimate is enough where, funnily enough, casting your Necrotic Ooze from hand is usually a very powerful play. I'll regularly Ritual out an Ooze G1 blind if I have either Entomb, Buried Alive, or cantrips in hand.
