A Grixis reanimator infinite combo deck for competitive modern.

When I was first planning this deck, my mind first settled on a deck that just stalled, much like Splinter Twin had. However I wasn't fond of the excessive time it would take to get there. Modern doesn't always allow for that kind of patience. So I added in and decided to give the deck a Grixis Reanimator feel with Goryo's Vengeance as my catalyst to victory.

The name Izzet Painful is a remnant from my plans to make this a deck, but it sounds super sweet, so I've left it in there.

I've recently added in two accessible sources via Hallowed Fountains as to create the opportunity to make use of the Flashback on Unburial Rites as well as, in fringe cases that will probably never happen, be capable of playing Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Obzedat, Ghost Council out of hand.

A full analysis and primer for this deck is currently a work in progress and won't be able to be completed until I've done thorough playtesting with this deck and gotten to a comfortable final list, something that can be only achieve with the help of you lovely players.

I will try and have a rough semblance of a rundown in the coming month.

    So this nifty new card was spoiled for EMN today:

    Sigarda's Blessing

    Sigarda's Blessing

    Enchantment

    You may cast Aura and Equipment spells as though they had flash.

    Whenever an Equipment enters the battlefield under your control, you may attach it to target creature you control.


    This card will allow us to cast Curiosity at instant speed, making our timing and likelihood to successfully combo off significantly stronger.

    Definitely making room for some of them. Not sure what to take out other than maybe Izzet Charm. Will have to get the cards quickly before somebody makes a busted Swords deck for it or something.
