Animate Dead, Diabolic Servitude, Dread Return, Reanimate, Rise from the Grave, Makeshift Mannequin, Living Death, Chainer, Dementia Master, and something like Puppeteer Clique can be really good if your opponent has a lot of thrifty creatures. IMO the best cards for reanimation are Recurring Nightmare(banned for obvious reasons), Dread Return, Chainer, Dementia Master and Living Death if you are straight B/R reanimate. Personally if you are going for a reanimate type deck I'd go B/W. Leaves you open to a lot more reanimation effects. Unburial Rites, Ressurection, Miraculous Recovery, Reveillark, Karmic Guide plus many more.

Thanks guys! I do know that white and black would be much better for obvious reasons, however I wanna use Olivia Valdaren as the General. So the Idea is to use a bunch of wheel effects and be able to reanimate and creatures I lose.
On another note, I'm thinking about adding Chancellor of the Annex to my Kaalia deck, anybody think its a good idea or naw?

Totally punted a four player game tonight. I went aggressive with my Karador deck after getting taken up to 18 general damage early on by the Rafiq player. Pretty much dominated the table and had my recursion engine going, along with swords of F/I, F/F, and L/S in play. All that was left was me and one guy who had Avacyn and Akroma in play. After taking out Momir Vig on my turn, I forgot to slide my swords back over to my only flyer (2/1), which had been holding back the damage. Of course, on the last possible turn he untaps and drops Wordslayer, then equips it to Akroma. Oops. __________________

would it actually have mattered? sounds like he had enough to get some trample damage through any how.

Yes. I could have boosted its toughness well past six. I had three swords in play and Batterskull still in the library, with an active Stonehewer in play. Batterskull alone would only take him up to five though. __________________

Agreed. Most of my decks tend to gravitate towards similar themes or strategies and I pick generals that compliment that. For example, I typically prefer to win through combat. My decks are heavy on creatures and everything has a valuable activated ability or ETB trigger. Almost everything you mentioned stu leads me to think you like control or prison-style decks. __________________

Try Heartless Hidetsugu. I'd be interested to see how your decklist turns out comparatively.

Right now I'm slowly building an Olivia deck. But my name focus is my Darien deck, any suggestions on how to damage myself? Or get people to "come at me bro!"

Lotsa painlands? ancient tomb. I'm thinking with red, they can deal damage to emselves and have cards they force ur opponent to attack u. But youll need life gain or damage prevention (cop:red?) b4 ya commit suicide. __________________

I play those colors and nothing puts a big ol' target on my back like Bloodchief Ascension (throw in a Spiteful Visions for the lulz). That or Stranglehold ( <3 Stranglehold).

After reading Sheldon's last article, I'm really hoping the RC leans towards unbanning Kokusho. I'm not looking to break him in half, but I have at least one deck (Karador) where I would really like to have him in my tool box.__________________

I have my Ghave deck that is full of goodies and sometimes it accidentally combos off and kills people or makes them die of boredom. Something about tapping your cradle for 30+ mana and going through the iterations of Ghave stuff people dislike.I also have an Intent deck. Its meant to just play off the top of the deck. key card for the deck is omen machine. I often switch to this deck when people get annoyed at my Ghave deck or I know the people there have poor decks. I don't really even remember what is in the deck. I do know I have stolen all the dual lands and shock lands form it for other things, so it runs a bunch of basics, 2 fetches, and 2 innistrad lands. I also found 2 empty sleeves in the deck box last I played and I didn't bother to put anything in their place. If anyone had a problem w/ me playing 98 cards I would happily switch to my complete Ghave deck, heh. I did just throw animar back together. I might run it a tad more often just due to the keldon firebombers I randomly added. its a fair geddon!

I don't do it with EDH, but that's mostly because all my decks have been horrible.  When I was playing regularly at my LCS I almost always had a non-competitive deck to play against people in case everybody there was bad.

I have 2 decks. One is a good one - RWU Combo. One is mono-colored white, with Lin Sivvi as general. A lot slower, and power level is less than the combo. So yeah, I have two different power levels depending on who I'm playing.__________________
