So this is a deck that I have been working on recently. I've found I like re-animator and control types of decks and so this goes into that realm. However this deck just doesn't feel quite fast enough/ it kinda seems wobbly and about to collapse. It's currently pretty casual of a list because it mainly includes some of my favorite cards. It is for this reason that if anyone has any ideas of what I can do to make this a bit more competitive/harder-faster-better-stronger I would love to hear them. Also I don't really do combos and my meta frowns upon them so I'd like to stay away from that vein.
Zur the Enchanter was the original commander as I would be able to drop him and attack to grab one of the reanimation enchantments. I believe he is still viable in the 99 as of right now because he can fetch any of the enchantments that are currently in the deck.
I would consider dropping G, it doesn't offer that much but you can still play reanimator with a loot subtheme with just WUB. Dropping green will also make your mana base more consistent and the deck run more smoothly/quickly. You may want to check out the deck list in my signature which is built around this concept. Even if you choose to continue to run G, I believe you can probably pick up some things from my list.
Thank you and yes that was the deck's original colors but things such as vorinclex, horizon chimera, sylvan library(since you draw two from that) are all great and the gitrog monster is such a powerhouse when I discard lands that I am tentative to go back to esper. The fact is that usually I can both reanimate AND hardcast some huge creatures because of the commander. I continue to consider going three color as that would streamline it and I will definitely check your list.
EDIT: Someone else in our playgroup also owns an oloro deck(albeit pillow-fort rather than re-animator) and I don't really like to make a commander that is currently played

Some cards that I want to find a place for maybe include Candelabra of Tawnos or Gemstone Array
maybe some targeted removal a la Anguished Unmaking and it's cousins.
Prehaps a Teferi's Puzzle Box would be good too however I kinda care what is in my hand so I don't know yet if it should go in.
