INTRO

So as a deck builder my goal has always been to make the most perfect deck, to me this means a deck that can handle any situation effectively, which in my eyes means lots of versatility. So then you may ask why Gifts, there are alot of good control decks out there that can shut down strategies better with counter magic, and my answer would be because i dislike counter magic, seems slow especially when they don't play into it. So back to Gifts, the goal of Gifts is to play resources denial early till you get 4 mana of they start to tempo off, Then you use your crazy amount of wincons to answer any strategy they are employing. In this respect i think Gifts is the strongest deck i have played, having huge versatility and consistency build in, able to answer any strategy presented

IDEA: Re-animator - mid-range shell

GOAL: Versatility through the grave

Note- if its more than a "2 of" in the deck there is a good chance you want one in your opening hand

Reanimation shell: Gifts Ungiven, Academy Ruins, Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Snapcaster Mage, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  , Iona, Shield of Emeria, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Unburial Rites, Life from the Loam

Disruption: Thoughtseize, Raven's Crime, Inquisition of Kozilek, Liliana of the Veil, Tectonic Edge, Ghost Quarter

Spot removal: Abrupt Decay, Dismember, Path to Exile, Slaughter Pact, Maelstrom Pulse 7

Mass Removal: Damnation, Engineered Explosives

Value: Bring to Light, Batterskull, Sylvan Caryatid, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Celestial Colonnade, Lumbering Falls

-- Aim for double black early if possible and white always before you Unburial Rites

I Hoped You Enjoyed, Good Luck in Your Testing =)
