As you can see lotleth is for discarding your biggies into your GY, and whip could also help throwing creatures back for a turn. I plan on fully assembling the G/B version, but I think you can do a reanimator with just about any color combination with black.
I do think that rescue from the underworld should be in reanimator. It could throw out a sylvan, LOTV, etc etc turn four. And it's also one of a select few of instants/sorceries in standard that returns it to the battlefield.
The thing about deadbridge Chant is that it's six mana, and by the next turn when it starts to do its thing, I could just throw out one of said creatures instead. Not to mention I could just hit a land instead of a creature or other spell. If all goes well, I could cast rescue turn 4 (via elvish mystic) and then hopefully have a lotleth troll out and throw out one of the big guys possibly blowing up one of thier lands if it's sylvan, setting them back. Also, if I cast rescue on my opponents end step, then I can just get my stuff back on my upkeep and have enough mana to protect it with Golgari charm.
But I don't know. I guess it all depends on what speed you want your deck tuned to. Rescue might be for faster reanimator, while deadbridge, for more Midrangey strategies.
I might add grisly salvage cards, I don't know, I know they're good for loading your GY.
Rescue from the Underworld is actually the nuts in this deck. Even though it's five mana and requires a creature, it lets you get an extra ETB off of your (already) value creatures, and it's great against wrath. Deadbridge is actually just terrible in this deck. Not only are you already milling yourself for a lot, you'll never have the threat density necessary for it to be reliable.

Do you recommend grisly salvage type cards? Or do you think lotleth is enough to load up the GY?

Grisly Salvage and Satyr Wayfinder are both excellent at what they do, and Commune with the Gods is quite good at finding creatures and Whip. Other than those three, you don't really need any more of those kinds of effects. Lotleth is a good card, but probably only a 2-3 of given how you really need creatures in hand for him to be good (although a 2/1 trample regenerate on its own is fantastic).

Ok cool, yeah, I will probably put in commune with the gods. Maybe a set of that and 2 grisly salvage? If I take out 2 trolls what else do you think I should take out for the set of Commune with the gods?
4 elvish mystic
2 satyr wayfinder
4 lord of the void
2 lotleth troll
4 sylvan primordial
4 giant adephage
4 rescue from the underworld
3 putrefy
2 Golgari charm
4 commune with the gods
3 whip of erebos

Red offers up cards like utvara hellkite and for discard, you could use wild guess.
White gives acces to ashen rider and restoration angel. And you could if you wanted use obzedat's aid.
Blue probably gives the least to work with, but even then, there are cards like diluvian primordial and heck, even Tromakratis could be an option.
Any thoughts, comments and critique are welcome. So tell me your thoughts and share your decklists!
Thanks for the suggestions!
