Based off of Gaka's deck list; http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?p=7019756. I drew a lot of inspiration from this list and since he has since dismantled it, and since it hasn't been updated in a long time, I thought it would be fun to update it and give it a try.
The primary win condition of the deck is to simply outpace your opponents by quickly dropping giant/utility creatures via Kaalia's ability.
Another win condition revolves around the Worldgorger Dragon combo, creating infinite mana and following up with cards like Aurelia's Fury and Comet Storm. As with all of my decks, feel free to make any suggestions. When considering cards, keep in mind that price isnt a problem as I am just trying to create the best deck possible.

Removing: Orim's Chant Silence
-These to cards just dont seem to fit in with the purpose of this deck. Armageddon Impending Disaster
-Not 100% on the land destruction package. There are a lot of ramp decks Aurelia's Fury
-Originally added to back up the Worldgorger combo, but the addition of another card to be a combo peace just seems unnecessary. I will ether drop this or Comet Storm Faithless Looting[/CARD]
Thoughts or suggestions of other cards?

Well, I know what I'm building next. The update to Gaka's list looks great, Johnny. I'll post back in a couple weeks, after I've secured all the cards.
I never even considered a reanimator deck that wasnt BUX or BGX, simply because they are the two best at filling their own graveyards. The extra tutors from W normally only grab enchantments/artifacts also, unlike some blue/green tutors..
@Monkmiroku
To be honest, I like the fact that it doesnt rely on combo. While the combo ability is still definitely a win condition, the fact that Kaalia can just as easily get an Iona on the field for free makes her good in a more round about way as opposed to a deck that is 100% combo.

I swapped out Grim Tutor and Imperial Seal (I need way more brownie points with the missus before dropping almost a grand) for a Liliana Vess and a Diabolic Tutor. I know I'll lose some early game acceleration, but I them's the breaks; plus, Lili might work out for the best if she goes unanswered.
Should be sleeved up by Wednesday!

Why kaalia? Just curious.

Also, the flavortext of spellbreaker behemoth is amazing and thank you for reminding me of it
