Highlander reanimator

[BigDCool247]

I was talking with klown the other day about highlander, and after a few question and his answers I thought that reanimator would be cool in a highlander event and this is what I have come up with.  I have no side board as of yet and wanted to get some of the communities reactions and suggestions about the deck.  It seems fairly simple to play use your tutor effects to get fat in the graveyard and animate it, I have also thrown in the angry ghoul combo and WGD combo for added kill conditions.  I have no power so please try not to suggest adding it, I made the deck as budget as possible and would like to keep it that way.  I am not sure how viable this deck will be so any help will be greatly appreciated .

Hermit Druid means you want one Krosan Reclamation.

Also, with all that fat, wouldn't you want some discard engines? Wild Mongrel would be good, anyway.

[BigDCool247]

yeah I was thinking about adding wild mongrel and krosan reclamation seems like a good Idea as well thx for the advise.  I will probably drop the hymn for the reclamation but what gets the axe for the mongrel?  Also is the fat in the deck optimal or are there better ones I am leaving out?

[Jacob Orlove]

Living Hive isn't that great--Sundering Titan might be better.

Also, Sliver Queen makes a better dragon kill here than Laquatus, since you can always just animate the Queen and beat down.

[BigDCool247]

Ah yes the queen well that does it im officially blind because I did not see that.  Plus I thought that the hive was a weak link, but are you sure about titan though because im expecting mono land bases and lots of strange non basics that titan can't touch or is the possible advantage worth the fact that he wont always be able to make a big impact.   I could be wrong though cause I did not see the sliver queen thing. (Thats a big Duh on my part)

post will be edited for new card choices.

[Jacob Orlove]

Well, Titan is great if you expect to see duals and pretty bad otherwise. If you don't expect him to be able to take out several lands, then don't bother.

[card]Victimize[/card] would be better than Dance of the Dead unless you're all about WGD.

[BigDCool247]

Wow im getting alot of good feed back and yes vitimize is a great reanimator affect that I never knew of, but I would like to keep the dragon animators as is as is, but im not above replacing something else maybe zombify, any comments on that?

any reason why nobody uses the 2U enchantment, draw 3 return enchantment discard 4 cards?
