so I took the traditional U/B Reanimator and smashed it into the Burning Reanimator decks I have come across but felt like I was getting killed in game 2 and 3 once they side in all their hate.

I needed something that could hit both Grafdigger's Cage and the new Containment Priest the old Echoing Truth was good against Grafdigger's Cage but Containment Priest can just be recast so I needed something better...

Introducing Abrupt Decay!

Kills both and cant be countered - I added in some green mana and a few more fetches to balance things out and I was set.

But why wait for game 2 to side it in - there are plenty of times I want to kill something in game 1 (im looking at you Counterbalance). So I main boarded em.

So that the story of the Decaying Reanimator
