I saw Deluxeicoff's Rakdos Reanimator list on his facebook page and thought, why not?
This has only gone through a few onesies in the Just For Fun room, but it seems pretty powerful, and at least I have a plan for some of the tiered match-ups.
List
Mana (22)
2 Bojuka Bog
4 Dimir Aqueduct
4 Dimir Guildgate
7 Island
5 Swamp
Combo (10)
1 Hand of Emrakul
1 Mournwhelk
4 Ulamog's Crusher
4 Exhume
Dig (17)
4 Careful Study
3 Deep Analysis
2 Forbidden Alchemy
4 Shred Memory
4 Strategic Planning
Protection (11)
2 Crypt Rats
1 Devour Flesh
2 Duress
3 Last Rites
2 Mizzium Skin
1 Raven's Crime
What it doesn't have (and might be able to use)
Dragon auras- In particular, Dragon Breath, Dragon Shadow, and Dragon Fangs are dandy for speeding things along once you get your combo.
Dark Ritual - Maybe good with Putrid Imp. You're already pretty invested in the combo, though, and this just sets you back more.
Putrid Imp - The plan is to discard from Last Rites, Careful Study, or Raven's Crime in a pinch.
Stinkweed Imp - I hate dredging when I need to develop my mana or find an Exhume. It sucks to lose those things in your 5.
What it has
Bojuka Bog - Great with Dimir Aqueduct and helpful to prevent your opponent from Exhuming anything, whether it would be as nasty as Crusher or not.
Dimir Aqueduct - Good synergy with Raven's Crime. Also a neat trick (on the draw, no mulligan) is to play a land turn 1, return it turn 2 play this and discard crusher.
Mournwhelk - Possibly questionable. In about six games (all wins! but none of them against significant decks), I haven't seen him. Seems like he could be a liability with Exhume or great against control to Exhume. Dunno.
The "Dig" card numbers may be off. I want 4 Deep Analysis.
Crypt Rats - Can come back with Exhume and clear the board. Great against Aggro.
Devour Flesh - A budget Diabolic Edict, but in corner cases theoretically good to target yourself. Perhaps these cases are hopeless though. At the moment, my only other option is Warren Weirding or Geth's Verdict (double black isn't that rare). Tutorable with Shred Memory.
Last Rites - MVP! Amazing against everything, and with so many cards you want in the grave and cards with Flashback, you can really let your hand go a lot of times to cripple control and slow Affinity/Burn/Fiend wayyyyy down, at little to no cost to yourself.
Mizzium Skin - Perhaps better as Dispel, but I wanted to buy one more turn with Ulamog's Crusher. Maybe this is pointless without Dragon Fang though.
Raven's Crime - Good with Aqueducts, target yourself to discard a beater, or help keep your opponent's hand down after Last Rites.
My current sideboard
4 Myr Sire
2 Crypt Rats
4 Nihil Spellbomb
1 Last Rites
4 Warren Weirding
