A landed Simic for reanimator is simply game over. The rest can be somewhat managed via countering, swords, or a lucky explosives for animate dead. I have found top to be crucial to get what is needed for this deck, even moreso than my experience with landstill. This is probably the case because the deck is not drawing inordinate amounts of cards so it needs quality and consistency.

Overall I plan on trying it out some more. The decklist was the one referenced a few pages back.
Diabolic Edict would solve this problem. I'd run no more than 2 though. The deck is pretty tight as is. I think it's Vorosh Landstill that runs a list similar to ITF but has no white and uses Edict. Your removal would basically look like UGWB Landstill's but Edict instead of Innocent Blood. Relic might be better than Crypt if you expect that much Reanimator. Being able to rip out their targets from under their noses all the time would rock.
