kilgore I never find it a dead card. I havnt ran into a time when I can't get Gary or Sidsi out also and go off if needed. Would like to find something better though for sure.

How do Rings of Brighthearth work with Chainer? Chainer's ability is a mana ability...

neinbit no that's not the definition of a Mana ability. A Mana ability is an activated ability that results in Mana being added to your Mana pool. Tapping a solid ring is a Mana ability.

Ahhhh! TIL. Thanks :)

Can you recommend an alternative to The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale? That's the only card out of my reach at this time.

Thanks!

IvyLeaguerCU the only card that I have experience in is Ward of Bones as it is what held the spot prior to Tabernacle. It is a good card to help slow down the rest of the table to let you assemble a combo or to completely shut it down. Truth be told I still swap them out depending on who I play!

How good is Genesis Chamber? I'm not really sold on the card.

eme I use it as sac fodder mostly.it can combo with looping creatures. Just a nice way of netting mana off pulling creatures from the yard. Also if you have GraveCrawler and another zombie and blood artist it's a wincon

I'd use wurmcoil engine instead of gravecrawler. Sure it cost a lot more but I've never had a problem getting that mana. And it goes infinite with phyrexian alter without a zombie and combos nicely with Genesis chamber to get you infinite Lifelink or Deathtouch tokens, take your pick.

Frankie_Peanuts I ran Wurmcoil Engine at one point, I think your right and its time he goes back in!

Frankie_Peanuts: you still need Chainer on board to reanimate the wurmcoil. You also need 3 life each time. I think Gravecrawler is still the better card to support the combo.

kilgore while that's true you do need all that. I usually don't go infinite unless I have Gray Merchant of Asphodel readily available. Plus I run Songs of the Damned Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed for infinite plus you can set up with Lifelink tokens then reanimate Mogis's Marauder.

kilgore,Frankie_Peanuts Ive put Wurmcoil Engine back in along with Gravecrawler I removed 1 basic land. Going to see how this works for the time being

kilgore any thoughts on Twilight Prophet Ive ran it a few times in Sad Robots place and it seems to be doing well. Don't have a problem getting 10 permanents. You got any experience with it? Know of any down sides I may be over looking

Personally i'd rather run Sengir Autocrat over Wurmcoil Engine or Gravecrawler. Nets 1 positive and one extra life w/ Phyrexian Altar, and fuels the 3/3 Life costs per Chainer's activation. Serfs are also great fodder for Skullclamp.

Twilight Prophet seems like a trap/bait card for now (from an reanimator perspective)... I've been interested in including in my list but haven't gotten around to it yet. I think it's better suited in a stax/control archetype like Xiahou Dun Control.

Savaaage hmm...I am going to get a few games in with Sengir Autocrat over Gravecrawler that does seem tasty. Twilight Prophet is a card I want to so badly love, but you are right on the bait aspect. It usually draws removal instantly and isn't the best reanimation target.

Bulletproofcats I agree dude. When I first saw this card I was excited but I really think it needs additional support of stuff like Tangle Wire, Winter Orb, etc.

Who knows I could be wrong, maybe I'll get some games in soon to test it out.

What’s your opinion on Meteor Golem? Looks like an autoinclude.

What are your take in cards that protect Chainer, similar to Imp's Mischief like Boon of Erebos, Rush of Vitality, Unnatural Endurance or Without Weakness?

I was thinking in using those together with Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Rune-Scarred Demon to protect Chainer at instant speed. But I don't know if it is too much.

It's still one of my most favorite decks to play with! :)

eme Metoer Golem will be replacing Spine for sure!

Frd123 I would think that adding 2 of those would be fine and wouldn’t be over doing it in the slightest. I run less just because of my meta. And I don’t usually Chainer unless it’ll make a huge impact. But I like the suggestions for sure! Thank you friend.

Hipparchos That’s great to hear friend. I’m hoping for some new cards to come in this new block that I can start adding. Vertebrae Wand looks like a possible testing card. Are you using my list or your own if I may ask?

Bulletproofcats i have been testing it and for me it is certainly an all-star in the deck
