Good for 1-on-1 great for multiplayer. Destroy their hand with Jin-Gitaxias, shut em' down with Painter's Servant and Iona or just beat them down and steal their permanents with It That Betrays. Any path you take is bad news for your opponents.
As long as you have a way to put your creatures in the graveyard and get them out again you are in good shape. IDEAL FIRST TURN (it happens a lot and is easy to do)play land, Dark Ritual, Entomb for Jin-Gitaxias, then Exhume or Animate Dead.

I really love the reanimation idea of the deck mainly because that is what i have been making mine around a lot. however, I feel like it has too much stuff going on. typically with reanimation decks you have one way you win every time, one strategy. I think you should narrow it done on how you should be winning. For example, do you want to win with iona or the eldrai or platinum angel? In my opinion get rid of platinum angel because what if someone takes it over??? total backfire. in a reanimation deck you defiantly want a control factor and a killing factor which you have, all you really need to do is narrow it down to what you need and make it so that it can be put out onto the field quickly too. Again i like the deck a lot heres mine that i currently use if you want to check it out... http://www.mtgvault.com/towel7484/decks/necrotoxins/

I somewhat agree with this, even though focusing on one target for reanimation based deck makes the deck linear and predictable. A modern example of a nonlinear deck is Pod, which is very difficult to deal with due to its ability to deal with a variety of threats. Along with the fact that if a reanimator deck fails to kill its opponent in the first few turns, the deck sort of insta loses to most legacy and vintage match ups.
To be fair you could say that about most legacy decks based on a linear style of play, if they can't go off turn 1-3 they probably just lose to fair decks(baring the fair deck keeping a completely shit hand)
