i think tormod's crypt is a vastly superior card against BR reanimator. if they have the nuts (multiple reanimation spells AND multiple reanimation targets) it's almost always a time walk in the early turns and usually a lot better. the exception is when they have a lot of mana acceleration (e.g. land, rit, entomb, reanimate, entomb, petal, reanimate).

neither card addresses the issue when they have the t1 on the play.
