Living End Reanimator is a deck that wants to reanimate big creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. Differently from the "standard" Living End decks we focus on quality over quantity.

Instead of dropping small creatures just to cycle the deck we are going to play other cards that will do the "same effect". One example is Thirst for knowledge that will drop our fatties.

To play Living End we are going to cheat it with cascade spells, Ardent Plea and Violent Outburst. Besides those spells we also have one copy of Kari Zev's Expertise to play Living End from our hand.

To fix mana we have 2 Pale Recluse so we can search for basics or shock lands. Another tech card you can search is Mistveil Plains that will let you cycle Living End from your graveyard.

Anger of the Gods is to remove small creatures but you can play Nahiri's Wrath instead if you want another way to discard creatures or deal with planeswalkers.

One of the most important card in this deck is Gifts Ungiven. It will work as a double entomb so you can drop 2 creatures from your deck directly in your graveyard. Another way to play this card is to search for a reanimation spell. If you already have creatures in your graveyard you can search for Ardent Plea, Violent Outburst, Living End and Kari Zev's Expertise. So no matter what cards you get you will be able to cast Living End.

For creatures we run a toolbox so we can search for whatever we need with Gifts Ungiven. So we have:

Gisela, the Broken Blade and Bruna, the Fading Light is one of the combos you can search with Gifts Ungiven so you can lock your opponent (most of the times). Also you can hard cast Gisela since she is very cheap compared to other creatures in this deck.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite will kill small creatures and pump your creatures.

Sheoldred, Whispering One will kill your opponent's creatures and will let you revive other creatures if you can't play or don't want to cast Living End.

Griselbrand let you draw, gain life and Griselbrand is Griselbrand.

Terastodon let you destroy annoying permanents that could lock you or give you some trouble like planeswalkers. Your creatures will be greater than those tokens you produce but you can also remove than with living end or Anger of the Gods.

Iona, Shield of Emeria will lock mono colored decks and don't forget that you can combo it with Gifts Ungiven + Unburial Rites.

Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur will let you recover your hand while He is also a nightmare for Control/Combo decks. If you want you can play another monster instead him you can play Sire of Insanity.

Platinum Emperor will protect your life points from any damage or life loss so it will be very hard for aggro to win against you. It will also protect you from infinite combos that focus on damage. The only thing it will not protect you is from deck out.

Archetype of Endurance is a very underrated card because no matter what you bring back from your grave if your opponent just path to exile it or bounce it back to your hand. Most of the times it will be one of the cards you want to drop with Gifts Ungiven because any other creature you bring together with It will be very resilient.

For sideboard:

Shriekmaw to remove small annoying creatures that you can't wait until you cast living end or remove with Anger of the Gods.

Anger of the Gods more two copies to fight against aggro decks, tokens or anything that could be a problem like Kitchen Finks.

Madcap Experiment is another way to play against graveyard hate or if you need to survive against burn. You will take no damage when you find Platinum Emperor. If you opponent focus too much in graveyard hate you can still play your Living Ends just for board clean and you can cheat Emperor with Madcap.

Ricochet Trap against control so you have some ways to play against control decks.

Beast Within is to remove anything that could be annoying to you. Can remove graveyard hate, lands or Planeswalkers. The drawback is minimun since you are going to cast Living End. Probably It is the only way we can play against Tron at least to remove their lands.

Slaughter Games against Combo decks or even to remove graveyard hates that are more difficult to play against like Surgical Extraction.

Another Platinum Emperor for Madcap Experiment but you can play Platinum Angel instead if you want.
