Description

Reanimator is one of my favorite deck types, and is the most fun to play. It may just be me, but I enjoy playing expensive guys for little or no mana, then comboing them into oblivion, all on 3 or less mana and some sacrifice outlets.

Originally, I played with Meren of Clan Nel Toth as my commander, but she was hated on far too much and I was made almost unable to play magic when I played her. It was just a traditional reanimator deck, using an 8 card infinite to win. It sounds like a lot, but it was incredibly consistent, when it got through the hate.

So, after getting incredibly annoyed of not being able to play magic while playing magic, I decided to add white for cards like Sun Titan, Pull from Eternity, and Saffi Eriksdotter. From there, I found Boony (Boonweaver Giant, and took that route to get to where I needed.

Pros & Cons

pros

I recommend this deck if you:

-Enjoy Combos.

-Are okay with having an entire table devote their resources to stopping you.

-Want to play big creatures cheaply along side cheap creatures.

Cons

I recommend against this deck if you:

-Play in a meta with a lot of grave hate.

-Don't know how to play around countermagic.

-Enjoy utilizing your commander along with your deck, not just using it for the colors.

Playing the Deck

Early Game

On your first couple of turns, you want to play mana dorks and tutors to set up as much as possible. Generally, things you want to get are a sac outlet and Pattern of Rebirth or Academy Rector for Pattern of Rebirth, then hitting the combo as quickly as possible. I generally play grand arbiter or wait until my opponents are tapped out. Deploying some of our hate bears also helps a lot.

Mid Game

Mid Game is generally where this deck is strongest. Most combo decks have tried to go off already and have been shut down, most of the hate has been expended, and most players are trying to get back into the game. This is where this deck springs out of no where and take the game with a simple reanimation spell, sac outlet, and Pattern of Rebirth

Late Game

If this deck gets to late game, then it just has to wait for a combo piece, and end the game as quickly as possible.
