I think we only have the two right now in those colors, so just add 3 of each Replayced

Also, did we agree on a 2 of for Reaper of the Wilds or a 3 of?

So I think to justify playing blue (as we have almost none) we need a couple of blue spells.
I think that Bident of Thassa is a kick butt addition, netting us cards when we deal damage, never bad
also, for some control, adding Dissipate would be excellent, to stop those RIPs or say no to some other nastier spells
Abrupt Decay is at least a 3 of SB
and either Hero's Downfall or Putrefy for removal as well

Stage 1 complete. Time for stage 2: playtesy and tweaking.
September 25, 2013 3:45 a.m.
Can't test right now. Let me know how it running and if you would change anything. I'll test after work and I'll deckcycle it too.

It's kind of slow in the beginning, but it does get up and go. I would maybe drop 1 land for something at current, but give it a bit more and let others weigh in on it

BTW I featured this on my blog in it's current state and pointed the building of it towards TO!

how about instead of Dissipate we put in Dissolve . It's the only thing that won't be standard once Friday gets here. then we still get a bonus for countering their spell with scry 1... there is also Psychic Strike which is the same CMC. and the bonus of milling 2 cards.http://tappedout.net/

Good catch abenz419. Change it to Dissolve . Every card is up for debate and change. If you see something else let me know.
September 25, 2013 10:10 a.m.
I sitll think Dimir Charm would not only be a valuable toolbox in general, but would help filter some targets into the graveyard.
Speaking of which: Hythonia the Cruel might be neat-o
September 25, 2013 10:53 a.m.
I agree with you. Soon as I'm done fixing my pc I'll be able to take a better look at all the suggestions and start playtesting. I'm not totally sold on Dissolve yet. May get changed to the charm
September 25, 2013 11:12 a.m.
Had fun playtesting this, only thing I would change from get go is cut Giant Adephage , I love that card, but but I see myself going for the big demon or Zegana over it. Would be fun to run at FNM.
September 25, 2013 2:49 p.m.
Giant Adephage is something we don't really want in our hand, its more like something that we want to be able to reanimate, it's cheaper that way and if any of it's trample damage gets through we're left with a token copy before the original gets exiled. The biggest problem I see with the Giant Adephage is that we don't have any way to get it from our library to our graveyard like I just talked about and drawing this thing, especially early, could be a huge problem.

We definitely need some dredge here, either Commune with the Gods or Grisly Salvage work well, but those are just my bets

That's what Lotleth Troll has function for abenz419, from hand to graveyard. but how do we find them early on and sort through what we want, with some dredge. Jarad's Orders might be a choice to offer up too.
September 25, 2013 5:13 p.m.
yeah but we can't rely solely on Lotleth Troll that's all I was saying, I just don't have much experience with any of the cards you mentioned but i'd say Grisly Salvage would be the best of the 3 because it's an instant
September 25, 2013 5:57 p.m.
We should at least consider a Trading Post for a Reanimator deck...
September 25, 2013 7:38 p.m.
So then salvage in, what's coming out. Or as Jp3ngu1nb0y suggested, we could us Dimir Charm . Let me know what the group wants and I'll make the changes. The power is yours.
September 25, 2013 8:08 p.m.
I don't really feel like Bident of Thassa
is necessary, and I know from experience at the pre-release that Rescue from the Underworld
is a little slow because the creatures don't come back till your next upkeep. I'd be in favor of -2 Bident of Thassa
and -1 Rescue from the Underworld
to fit in +3 Grisly Salvage
. Also I do like Trading Post
but I think we're trying to keep this standard, right? if so then obviously we can't add because it's rotating out.
another suggestion I could make would be -1 Reaper of the Wilds , -1 Rescue from the Underworld , -2 Bident of Thassa and then we could add +2Dimir Charm and +2 Grisly Salvage . That way we get the dredge that we want from Grisly Salvage and Dimir Charm gives us a little less dredge but does offer other options that we can use if needed

Trading Post was a reprint in M14, so still good there. But the plus side to the Rescue from the Underworld is that the creature stays. And Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord might have a spot as well . . . Reanimate and fling it at them before it exiles to do double damage

Lol it's cool. We can change it up when more people come back.
