You might put in Bogardan Hellkite and Kokusho, the Evening Star for some damage to the face. And as a general rule of thumb I put Zombie Infestation in every reanimator I've ever built since it was printed, because its a great way to dump cards into the 'yard. Anger would be good too because Dragon Tyrant is no good unless he gets to attack...and that upkeep he has is pretty hefty.
I won't really have a problem as long as they do it right, i.e. making all 5 colors balanced and competitive against each other instead of one or two colors destroying the rest of the field.
Wizards has been using generic names for a long while. Moreover they will continue to use generic names...its just the way things work. I'm sure that the guys that name the cards break out the thesaurus(i hate the way that word is spelled...) every time they sit down to name the cards, and if you don't like it apply for that job.
I think that Shards of Alara will have have new 'walkers...and that is at the VERY EARLIEST. WoTC has made it very apparent that they want these 'walkers to be the poster boys/girls of magic for at least a minute, and that would be impossible if they went and released new ones. Thats my opinion at least.
I would buy that beer.
