I talk about my experience with Reanimator at SCG Cin and talk about my feelings with the deck over the last few months, I think it's a good one so I'll share it here:

I found this quote pretty hilarious: "I untap and Exhume my Jin, and after drawing seven I ask him if he’ll concede if I show him four Force of Wills. He says yes, so I show them."

Nice list and nice report/article!

Did it run Spellstutter Sprite :O

It's mentioned in the report that he has Spellstutter Sprites (multiples). There's also a bunch of other cards mentioned like Dark Confidant, Vendilion Clique, Karakas, maindeck Thoughtseize, at least two Mental Misstep, Swords To Plowshares, Stifle and (probably sideboard) Phantasmal Image. I guess Brainstorm should be in there as well and considering that Stoneforge Mystic was apparently in there as well, I don't think he was running Force Of Will, though that might be wrong. I think we can also safely assume he had Wasteland, since that pairs nicely with Stifle.
Sure, this isn't the exact decklist, but you can really get a lot from the report. Add to that a few land (20+ most likely, factoring in Wasteland) and you really have most of the deck:

4-6 Stoneforge + Equipment
4 Dark Confidant
3-4 Spellstutter Sprite
2-3 Vendilion Clique
4 Brainstorm
2-4 Thoughtseize
3-4 Mental Misstep
4 Swords To Plowshares
2-4 Stifle
3-4 Wasteland
16+ other lands

+15 sideboard cards

This is at least 47 cards in the maindeck but could also be as much as 57. There's a lot you can get from the report and that you can read into the cardchoices and situations (considering Stifle and Wasteland, he might have been running Daze as well).
I hope this was at least some kind of help.
