    So this is basically a stock grixis reanimator list. The commander can be used if you get too far behind on board. We also heavily splash green and white: Wreen, because it will allow us to make use of survival of the fittest and other similarly overpowered cards; White, so that you can cast topdecked fatties in the mid/late game.

    This deck is an absolute monster. Survival of the fittest discarding a fatty to go get loyal retainers feels busted as all hell at all times.

    I would like some opinions on some of my choices, and suggestions to improve the deck. There are definitely other reanimation targets to choose from, and my manabase may not be optimal. The deck seems to be crushing it though.

    Re: 5c Reanimator

    Inkwell sucks in commander because it doesn't do anything except attack

    The list seems pretty light on interaction (e.g. your only removal (for any type of permanent) that isn't in the form of a big fatty is Izzet Charm. Literally the only way for you to beat Grafdigger's cage is to Show and Tell / Sneak attack Angel of Despair or Ashen Rider. (Child of Alara too I suppose)

    Imo things like Blazing Archon or Avacyn are bad because people will combo kill you with things that don't care about the combat step or what permanents you have, but it depends how competitive your playgroup is I guess
