Magic is full of iconic Vampires
The front of the battle card could have a scene from the beginning of the battle while the flip side features an image encompassing the end of the iconic fight
This means you can use it for easy infinite Landfall combos with a bounce land and Sakura-Tribe Scout, or to make infinite colorless mana with Ghost Town and Walking Atlas
It pairs especially well with commanders like Marath, Will of the Wild, since scalable abilities get even stronger every time you use them
While obviously I can't speak from the POV of a TCG novice, I'll note that my first opponent, who'd not played Magic before, picked it up pretty swiftly (and whalloped me in game two)
You can certainly play around with this list and sub in things you have or dont have, such as The Elder Dragon War instead of an Urza's Sylex or Brotherhoods End, but otherwise this is the shell youll want to play with for Standard Reanimator
