Commander / EDH BGW (Abzan, Junk) Reanimator

TrevHulkC


EDH Reanimator project. Remarkably grim and effective deck which gets massive land and life advantage. Extremely hard to shut down without massive GY removal. Board wipes will need to be exile-based to work; if I get a sacrifice outlet in play, they won't stop it.

All-stars here are Reveillark, Karmic Guide and Sheoldred, Whispering One.

Many of the card selections have been made with the combinations of Reveillark + Viscera Seer or Blood Bairn + Reveillark in mind. Cards were given priority if they were 2 power and had relevant ETB effects. Particularly strong examples are Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Acidic Slime, Eternal Witness and Karmic Guide.

One particular turn recently with Karador, Ghost Chieftain and Blood Bairn in play went: Phyrexian Delver into Reveillark sacrificed into Karmic Guide and Gray Merchant of Asphodel returning Kokusho, the Evening Star bfore sacrificing and recasting Gray Merchant of Asphodel from the GY. That turn resulted in each opponent losing 19 life points while I gained 52 (losing 5 to Delver). For 10 mana. 114 point swing for 10 mana?

Grave Pact effects are also a big advantage this deck has: Butcher of Malakir, Dictate of Erebos and Grave Pact mean that all the creature sacrifices control my opponent's boards very effectively.


My standard rules for EDH apply so please note:

  1. I don't want to be spending $30+ per card to improve this deck. Even $20 cards are a major investment.

  2. I refuse to play Iona, Shield of Emeria : her ability might as well read "One player doesn't get to play Magic" and I dislike that. Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger is also on my "not fun" list.

  3. Winter Orb , Portcullis and Humility make for incredibly boring EDH and I refuse to run them. If you run them I will vomit all over you.
