Reanimation and Control

A first draft of a deck I want to (eventually) build in paper. I've always been a huge fan of Grixis {U}{B}{R}, so when I saw the spoiled Lord Xander, the Collector, needless to say, I was very excited. The deck focuses on either a basic reanimation strategy, or abusing Xander's triggers to grind out opponents. Both are supported by a healthy control package. This deck was inspired by the Professor's Lord Xander deck, but I choose to focus more on the reanimation aspect of Grixis instead of heavy discard and resource denial.

When to Play this Deck

Play this deck if:

1. You love being in control of a game and having plenty of answers to what your opponents are doing.
2. You prefer quality over quantity in regards to creatures.
3. While you will not admit it, you are a bit of a Timmy at heart and love having big creatures and effects that you don't always get to play in other decks.

Do not play this deck if:

1. You do not like waiting to make plays.
2. You like to have a big board and enjoy token strategies.
3. Your play group does not like playing against control decks, especially ones that feature mass sacrifice.
4. You have a heavy hated of blue {U} decks. I don't understand you, but to each their own.

Combos

Combos

Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth = Lots of Mana

Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron = Infinite Mana

Altar of Dementia + Corpse Dance = Non-Infinite Continual Triggers
