Here's a list I've been toying with on MWS and I like it quite a bit. It's fairly straightforward, a few synergies I really like. Here it is:

CREATURES--20
4x Tarmogoyf
4x Dark Confidant
3x Eternal Witness
4x Nimble Mongoose
1x Progenitus
4x Birds of Paradise

SPELLS--22
2x LftL
4x Reanimate
3x Unearth
4x Thoughtseize
2x Crop Rotation
3x Natural Order
4x StP

LAND--18
4x Wasteland
3x Windswept Heath
3x Polluted Delta
3x Bayou
1x Scrublands
1x Swamp
1x Forest
1x Volrath's Stronghold
1x Dryad Arbor

SIDEBOARD--15
3x Gaddock Teeg
3x Krosan Grip
3x Pernicious Deed
3x Aether Vial
2x Relic//Crypt
1x Plains

Choices:

Birds of Paradise is the only really *odd* choice for the list, but that's there for the ability to smooth mana curve as well as be a toss for NO. It may come out, but as of right now I like it.

Synergies:

Unearth + E. Witness: This is an infinite chump blocker for one black mana. And, it cycles for a little card advantage if need be.

Thoughtseize + Reanimate: Works good. Heavy on lifeloss, but against decks like Thresh it's been doing okay. Doesn't always resolve, but when it does and it hits their goyf, it pretty much seals it up.

I'm @ work, so I'll have to do more on this, but I think it's a fresh new look at Reanimator.

This looks a lot more like Eva Green or The Rock than Reanimator. You don't have any fatties that can be reanimated, or any discard outlets (Aside from thoughtseize, which I assmue you point at your opponent), and you're heavier on removal than I've ever seen a Reanimator list be.

I like it though. How has Nimble mongoose been for you? He seems like the weakest creature in the deck, and I've been doubting his power level for a while now.

NOOOooooooooooooo!!! JK

I see what you mean, but Reanimate is one of the sickest turn 1-3 bombs you can play on an opponent, so if you're gonna do it dont waste it on some goyf you discarded with thoughtseize. Its an ok idea, that's part of the versatility of the card is being able to reanimate like.. someone's dredge card, or w/e but this deck could be SO much better if you dropped in cards like Seismic Skyswallower, Bogardon Hellkite, Woodfall Primus... w/e

You would also really benefit from having an actual discard outlet!

Might I suggest SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST? *cowers in fear of being smited by the Magic Gods from mentioning an over-hackneyed card for the 300th time*!!! It would be an amazing alt win cond outside of the obvious NO--> Progenitals

Survival, squee, big game hunter, anger, Beater, Beater, Rofellos, *reanimate* *reanimate* *exhume* etc.
