EDH Chainer, Dementia Master Reddit Review

Side Board

1x Carrion Feeder - Another Free Sacrifice outlet to safeguard the creatures reanimated by Chainer. Has Zombie creature type, enabling gravecrawler infinite mana with Phyrexian Altar and Pitiless Plunderer.

1x Contamination - I worry about including this card because I play in a casual meta and do not want to stop other people from playing the game. Chainer has proven to be fast and resilient enough. Might include this card if playing in a more competitive pod.

1x Initiates of the Ebon Hand - Filters colorless mana into black mana, but not sure if it is necessary.

1x Mind Slash - More control and potentially more targets for reanimation, but suspect I don't consistently have enough sac fodder.

1x Necrotic Ooze - This card makes my head hurt. Despite reading the rules (several times) I don't really understand what it really does.

1x Sadistic Hypnotist - Probably better than Mind Slash in this deck due to reanimation, but same problems as the aforementioned card.

1x Thief of Blood - Sideboarded for dealing with Super Friends or token heavy decks.

Maybe Board is removed Cards

Removed Moonlight Bargain for Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed

Removed Syr Konrad for Exquisite Blood

Removed Cavalier of Night for Bolas' Citadel.

Removed Zulaport Cutthroat for Gravecrawler

Removed Phyrexian Arena for Waste Not.

Removed Grim Haruspex for Necropotence.

Removed Inventor's Fair for Phyrexian Tower.

Removed Dark Petition for Pupeteer Clique.

Notable exclusions:

Phyrexian Arena: I did some reading and have been convinced that this card is a trap. It passively incurs card advantage, but it does so too slowly.

Snow Lands: Planar Lens is expensive and I prefer Sam Burley's Full art basic lands.
