Chain, Chain, Chain

My MTGO list for Chainer, Dementia Master reanimator/control. Needs upgrading & tweaking, esp. in manabase/rocks, but offers plenty of wacky reanimation hijinx nonetheless.

Core synergies

I'm a filthy combo/control player, but hate running cards that are only combo fodder. Instead, we have tons of combos & synergies here just from running cards that are already good on their own.

Stax: Fodder generator + Contamination/Smokestacks/Grave Pact/Gate to Phyrexia/Chains of Mephistopheles

Nobody gets to have nice things, ever!

Cabal Coffers + Deserted Temple + Rings of Brighthearth

Infinite . With a -outlet in the command zone. I'm sure you can figure out a use for that.

Grave Titan / Wurmcoil Engine + Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle

Infinite , infinite tokens, infinite death triggers.

Endrek Sahr + Sac Outlet + Draw Triggers

Slowly and jankily storm through yr deck as every single creature turns into a ritual plus mass card draw. E.g., With Ashnod's Altar and Smothering Abomination out, Endrek makes Sidisi, Undead Vizier into 3: tutor, generate , draw 5. Go ham & flip yr deck onto the table.

Chainer / other reanimation + Good ETBs

Don't wanna combo off? Just loop black goodstuff until you get the kill.

Discard & Control Package

Barring all else, you're in black. Just use yr mean control tech & huge mana to murder everything and empty everybody's hands.

Trickery

Draw-Go Reanimation

It's important to realize Chainer is instant speed and targets anybody's graveyard. Have fun reanimating other people's answers at instant speed in response to everything.

Saccing Chainer

So Chainer, Dementia Master's reanimation ability & death trigger are two separate triggers. If you see this and are reminded of old O-Ring shenanigans, you're correct! If you sac Chainer while his reanimation ability is on the stack, he'll leave play before yr reanimated Nightmare enters play. Then, when Chainer comes back, he'll be a new card, so yr NIghtmare won't die if Chainer gets killed. This is only situationally useful, but worth remembering.
