The cycling on Krosan Tusker is basically an instant-speed uncounterable Divination and it's not a bad Zombify target if we curve into it.

Krosan Tusker.

Slip, Liliana, and Tusker are all feasible targets here. I don't know that we're going to run enough black to fully support Liliana, Slip is excellent removal, and what Hakeem said. I think for now the ramp/beatdown aspects of Tusker make it the pick, though I could be convinced otherwise.

Krosan Tusker.


This is true. I had so much disdain for the reanimator-inspired deck building that I just ignored the tusker as a 7-drop. Cycling is a good way to get cards in the gy, and we can ramp, so this is worth considering.

I'll keep my vote on slip though. It's prime removal.

The Lightning Greaves are insane, but Putrefy is excellent removal and whoever picks it can nuke the Greaves. This is tough.

Putrefy.

Putrefy

So much removal in here. But this is best, and in our colors too.

Putrefy is incredible. Looks like we'll be playing The Rock.

Putrefy is excellent. I also like Dreg Mangler here. But removal is always good.

Again, gonna go with the unpopular opinion:

Firespout

It's removal, in color, and if you splash a little red to help with it, it's mass removal. All of our creatures so far have enough toughness to dodge it, and we have graveyard effects to get them back anyways.

Putriefy for me. Instant speed removal in our two colours is a perfect card for us.

Bayou is nice in green black. Despise seems like a good card. Unburial rights works great in reanimator. Silverherat would be a very follow up to Thrun (8/8 hexproof regenerating goodness, yum).
I vote Unburial Rites. Let's kick everyone else in this draft out of reanimator and keep an eye out cards that fill our graveyard.

Oh my god. A second Garruk, Unburial, Wolfir, and Bayou? We're in green black and we get this pack. Excellent. I want Unburial Rites. We can splash for the flashback. On the other hand, everything TPzombieW said.
