Not yet, no. I haven't had a good chance to play this deck (or any other deck for that matter) since before SOI came out. However, I'll be happy to test it in the deck when I get the chance.

i am running a very similar deck commanded by Olivia, Mobilized for War, and Sin Prodder has done surprising well for me. Definitely give it a shot.
Entomb - Good card for when you really want to be competitive, but it's really just a one for one that doesn't get you value until you can get it out of the 'ard (or if it's Anger).
Ghoulcaller Gisa - Too slow, she usually ate removal before I could ever use her.
Soulblast - Fun idea but rarely useful in this deck.
Thundermaw Hellkite - Unless I could easily give him deathtouch, Thundermaw's effect doesn't do enough.
Stormbreath Dragon - Going monstrous is very expensive when we have five other things to be doing.
Dragon Mage - Eh. Good card, but cut for more fun things.
Combustible Gearhulk - This will give us value no matter which way the trigger goes. The very highest amount of damage it can hit right now is 28 and going for 15 or 20 shouldn't be uncommon.
Dread Summons - We really just want cards in our 'yard, the zombies are a plus.
Panharmonicon - Even if the only card in this deck that benefits from Panharmonicon is Bladewing himself, I'd run it. However, there are 16 other cards that do, so let's get some value.
Skyline Despot - Being the Monarch is nice and all, but I just want dragon tokens. Use with Kiki-Jiki at the end step of the opponent directly before you to get an ETB trigger and two 5/5s.
Quick update time! I'm not changing up the main list quite yet though because it needs an overhaul and I don't have the time to get to that tonight. However, I've got some new things from C17 and I'm taking the deck into a more tribal direction, because dragons are pretty great.
Adds:
Shifting Shadow - It puts dragons into my 'yard and pulls more out of the deck. We'll see it goes.
Deathbringer Regent - This deck lives out of the graveyard, so sending everything there is a pretty good move. Having it on the back of a dragon is just gravy.
Heads up, peeps. I'm retiring Bladewing soon and disassembling it. I'm doing the same for my Prossh deck. Why?
I'm turning two decks into three: Grusilda, Monster Masher is a dream come true for me in Commander and my best Reanimator parts are in Bladewing. Throw in how I've been majorly conflicted lately about whether to go harder on the Reanimator theme or the Dragon Tribal theme for Bladewing and it only makes sense to separate the deck now that I've discovered Grusilda. Stapling Flayer of the Hatebound + Murderous Redcap, Wurmcoil Engine + Ronin Cliffrider, and Living Inferno + Stuffy Doll together sounds waaaay too fun not to do. The rest of my Dragon Tribal parts will be going to a new Atarka, World Render deck.
The Prossh deck is also getting disassembled. Its RG mana base will go to the aforementioned Atarka deck but its BR mana base and Aristocrat elements are heading for another new deck for one of our new Unstable cards: The Big Idea. Think of the Johnniest BR aristocrats deck that you can, then turn it up to 11. That's what I'm planning for The Big Idea.
These two new Unstable commanders have honestly provoked the biggest explosion of brewing ideas I've had for years, and, quite appropriately, the bones of this Bladewing deck will live on in Grusilda.

very cool list, gave me some ideas for my own. Have you tried out Feldon of the Third Path? He is a reanimate that is every turn without paying life, and goes great with ETB effects. Same with Balthor the Defiled, he may be better for you than Twilight's Call.

Hopefully I'll get around to overhauling the main list pretty soon. Hurray dragons!

With the Unstable cards becoming illegal, have you ever thought about resurrecting your Bladewing deck?
