Ooh lots of goodies here. Reanimation spell. Two land searchers. One of the best angels in the game.

I vote Angel and call it the top of our curve. Elder was a close second. I think we have enough reanimation spells, and we don't benefit much from shavng one or two mana of their costs because it will take time to fill our yard anyway.

just jumping in here, but let's see what we've got.

ok, looks like we're in . (draft master over here.) we've got a good amount of fixing, some decent acceleration (3 cards that cost 3 or less and increase our mana production capacity) but not a lot to actually top out at. (ignoring Akroma, only three cards that cost more than 4, and one of them is Tusker which will usually be cycled.)

let's look at options. Blast is out, we don't have the red. Heights might be nice since we're likely splashing white for sledge anyway, but I'm not in love with it. Reanimate is, of course, good, but like I said I'm not in love with our current beef so I'm not confident we'll have something good to bring back. although it's really at its best on small utility critters anyway, and after they've finally dealt with Thrun, popping him back up sounds fun. Elder and Wayfinder are more ramp/fixing, and if we go that route I think Elder is the stronger pick, but I'm not sure we want to go that route. Shade is certainly an option, coming down early and just eating up excess mana. Angel seems possible but we'll have to go harder on fixing to ensure the double white isn't a pipe dream. and finally, Wurm is just a BDG that gives us a beatstick when we need it. I think Reanimate, Elder, Shade, and Wurm are all valid picks, but I'm gonna say Wurm.

Right now, I don't see us being white enough for the angel. So I vote Wurm.

Too me, the big unknown is whether we need the reanimate more than another target. Clearly we are wheeling all the green and most of the black cards.

Stuff we might wheel:
Garruk Relentless (LOLCUBE)
Exhume

ZERO fatties.

I think we take Pelakka worm. Should we end up hard casting it, it seems a titch easier than angel

Angel. We already have a good amount of fixing, and we might get more.
