Pretty bad reanimator, I'd rather play Exhume or Reanimate.

Except for the fact that this one can do it again and again, for a not-all-that-high cost. I'd give it a 4.5/5, easily. Of course, the classic Akroma + Entomb + Exhume combo will make your deck slaughter people much faster, but, personally, I feel that this could make for a very cool, slower (and in casual, fairer) deck.

I just found this card with the random card button, and now I feel bad that I don't have it.

Cast Primeval Titan, fetch Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth/any other land, rinse and repeat, draw out all your lands

@myblackplague: Remember that the Titan lands enter play tapped.

I think this goes great with Land Tax. At the start of the game you will be forced to discard fatties because of all the land in your hand, and later, Strands reanimates them while enabling Land Tax.

Instant speed means it can say "Hey, wait. Emrakul. Don't shuffle in, I could use you on the field."

@Dark_Raider: I agree. No one wants you play casual with you if you're killing them on turn 1 or 2 with Reanimator anyway.

Run alongside Liliana of the Dark Realms to ensure that you'll never miss those Swamps for too long!

here's a legacy combo that i thought of
t1: dark ritual into buried alive get 2 bombs and a dredge 5+card.
t2: dredge, cabal ritual strands of night, and a 1 drop
t3: cabal ritual/dark ritual into crypt ghast, get biggest bomb, get another 1 drop(entomb)
t4: cast second big bomb(and 3rd if you're lucky enough to dredge it/entomb it), gg :D
it's also instant speed reanimation
