I used that specifically as an example of a card that could go in either deck. Reanimator is on the rise.

Getting that 6/6 flying lifelink on the table is game against Sligh, but if you can path it you can win that MU easily. Since Path is probably a borderline card for a Sligh deck anyway (SOME burn goes toward creature removal in Sligh), it's not hard to imagine Path seeing a bit of play.

I guess they might still dig Archangel, but Path isn't far out of playable for a Sligh/Zoo deck. Not nearly as far out of playable as Woolly Thoctar or KotR.

Ninja Edit: Said the wrong card.
