Grenzo Doomsday Reanimator

Commander / EDH BR (Rakdos)

AdNauseam12


This is a competitive EDH deck that revolves around playing Doomsday with Grenzo, Dungeon Warden in play. I have to give some credit to Clay_Puppington for typing out these doomsday piles so that I do not have to.

These are the different doomsday piles that the deck relies on to win. Kiki-Jiki Pile #1 - Zealous Conscripts: The goal is to rush to cast Grenzo, cast Doomsday, and win. We do these by casting Doomsday when Grenzo is in play, and you have BBB+2 mana available.

  1. With Grenzo in play, cast Doomsday for BBB, leaving you with 2 mana

  2. Pile the following, from Top to Bottom: Dark Ritual , Zealous Conscripts , Goblin Sledder , Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , Priest of Gix

  3. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Priest of Gix , and acquiring BBB

  4. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , who will then activate making a copy of Priest of Gix, pooling BBBB

  5. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Goblin Sledder , who will sacrifice himself to add +1/+1 to Grenzo, leaving you with BB pooled

  6. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Zealous Conscripts , who will take control of Kiki-Jiki and untap him

  7. Kiki-Jiki will then go infinite with Zealous, creating infinite tokens with haste, who attack and win.

Dark Ritual is left on the pile as a way to recast Grenzo if he somehow dies during the Doomsday Turn. It will be naturally draw on the next upkeep (if there is one), and the mana can help pay the tax and ability cost.

Kiki-Jiki Pile #2 - No Zealous Conscripts:

The goal is to rush to cast Grenzo, cast Doomsday, and win. We do these by casting Doomsday when Grenzo is in play, and you have BBB+2 mana available.

  1. With Grenzo in play, cast Doomsday for BBB, leaving you with 2 mana

  2. Pile the following, from Top to Bottom: Metallic Mimic , Murderous Redcap , Skirk Prospector , Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , Priest of Gix

  3. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Priest of Gix , leaving you with BBB

  4. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , who will then activate making a copy of Priest of Gix, pooling BBBB

  5. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Skirk Prospector , leaving you with BB

  6. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Murderous Redcap

  7. Sacrifice Kiki-Jiki and Redcap to Skirk Prostpector, giving you RR

  8. With Redcap’s Persist trigger on the stack, activate Grenzo again with your remaining mana to bring in Metallic Mimic naming Goblin

This returns Murderous Redcap without any counters, allowing you to go infinite with Redcap being sacrificed to Skirk, while returning with no counters on due to Mimic. This creates an infinite loop of 2 damage dealt to a player, killing the table.

No Kiki-Jiki in Pile:

If Kiki-Jiki has been removed from the game, our pile changes. This pile will rush to cast Grenzo, cast Doomsday, and win. We do these by casting Doomsday when Grenzo is in play, and you have BBB+3 mana available.

With Grenzo in play, cast Doomsday for BBB, leaving you with 3 mana

  1. Pile the following, from Top to Bottom: Metallic Mimic , Murderous Redcap , Skirk Prospector , Priest of Urabrask , Priest of Gix

  2. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Priest of Gix , leaving you with BBB+1

  3. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Priest of Urabrask leaving you with BBRRR

  4. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Skirk Prospector leaving you with BBR

  5. Spend 2 mana, activating Grenzo, to bring in Murderous Redcap leaving you with B

  6. Sacrifice Redcap to Skirk Prospector, adding R, leaving you with BR

  7. With Redcap’s Persist trigger on the stack, activate Grenzo again with your remaining mana to bring in Metallic Mimic naming Goblin

This returns Murderous Redcap without any counters, allowing you to go infinite with Redcap being sacrificed to Skirk, while returning with no counters on due to Mimic. This creates an infinite loop of 2 damage dealt to a player, killing the table.

No Doomsday:

If Doomday is countered, your goal is to assemble the Murderous Redcap , Metallic Mimic , and one of our sacrifice outlets ( Skirk Prospector , Goblin Sledder , Mogg Raider ).

With those pieces in play, and Mimic naming “goblin””, Redcap goes infinite damage with a sacrifice outlet.

Amother way that this deck has to win is with Worldgorger Dragon combo and a reanimation package. You play either Dance of the Dead Animate Dead or Necromancy . When one of the reanimation enchantments targets the dragon, the drago enters the ETB to trigger in response to the trigger you tap all of your lands. When the dragon's trigger resolves it causes you to exile all permanent cards you control, and this includes the reanimation enchantment which causes the enchantment to trigger and you sacrifice the dragon. The dragon then triggers and you return all your permanents to the battlefield and the loop repeats. This allows you to generate infinite mana and from there you activate Grenzo until you have Kiki combo on the battlefield and you can win from there.

I included this line because the doomsday line does not use the graveyard and the worldgorger does making the deck more resilient to disruption such as playing around Rest in Peace and Praetor's Grasp

If you have any other questions about the deck feel free to ask and if you have card suggestions they are more than welcome as this deck is still in the works.
