Hello everyone! I just got commander anthology 2 today and decided to upgrade the Mimeoplasm from it. I know for sure i don't want to go combo with it, and I think i want to do a reanimator deck that can use my opponent's graveyards as well as mine. If i did it this way i would likely also have a clone subtheme too. I'll probably be picking up at least a putrefax for the silver bullet agaist lifegain decks, but are there any other cheap (money wise) reanimator targets/effects that I could pick up for under $5? The more they synergise with Mimeo the better.
Yes, very cheap. My main problem is that I've only been playing edh for about 2 years now so I'm constantly running into new cards I've never seen before. Because of that, I sometimes have trouble thinking about what would go well in a deck.
My meta is very casual. A lot of my decks have at least one game ending combo but I don't use a lot of tutors so they're usually not the main win condition and only used to end a long game. I think most other people's decks are similar power level.
Fleet Swallower is good for milling your opponent or yourself. It is a Traumatize on a beat stick. I only took it out of my build because I went with a +1/+1 counter direction.
The second card I can emphatically recommend is Mindless Automaton. He is very utilitarian. Casting him normally, he is a way to get a desirable reanimation target from your hand into the grave. As a target for the Mimeoplasm he is card draw in a pinch. In my own build that contains plenty of counter doubling, he is basically discard a card, then draw a card.
I like Fathom Mage, just as quick card draw with Mimeo. (Exile her and some creature with 7 power or greater, and draw basically a new hand.)
Another Mimeo trick involves infect.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Tokata0 said a lot of good ones but I would also suggest blighted agent (1/1 Infect that cannot be blocked. Get a big guy on him (like death's shadow) and you have a 14/14 unblockable infect.
Now I would also suggest ulamog, the ceaseless hunger and kozilek, the great distortion And emrakul, the promised end
They are not cheap but they are big. Both for making your mimeoplasm big or even using them as the primary creature.
I know they are not cheap but they are still worth it in my books. (Of course I bought them when they were only 20 bucks)
I would also suggest mirror gallery if you plan to clone things. (Sadly without red you lose a few really good close like dack's duplicate... and kiki-jiki)
I scavenged a consuming aberration from my Yidris precon and he was a beast in the first game I played. Combined with a kicked RoR he got really huge real fast. I didn't even get to eat him with mimeo, but he's even better in that case. I know for sure I'm not going to use ulamog since he's a little out of budget, but I own a kozilek. I hadn't even thought of him but he seems insane now that I think about it. Pitching reanimation fodder while countering spells seems pretty good. The only problem is that I don't have much colorless mana in the deck so he's only useful as a reanimation target.
well depending on how mana intensive you get, you may be able to toss in some wastes.
if you want to help your mana base though, i would suggest filter lands. (Sunken ruins, Twilight Mire and Flooded Grove) In addition to color fixing, they also tap for colorless. (again they are a little bit more expensive. But at least they are not dual lands. So that can help you run kozilek. There are also someutility land that tap for colorless. While I do note see a need for reliquary tower, it is a prime example.
You can also use painlands to tap for C. And whatever mana rocks tap for colorless (Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Mind Stone...Mana Crypt isn't cheap. Even Mana Vault isn't really.)

I would also recommend some mass reanimation like Rise of the Dark Realms.

Also consuming aberration is useful (not sure about price though)
