This is my attempt at a standard Junk/Abzan () reanimation deck. It functions by filtering your top-deck into your graveyard, only to reanimate them with Rescue from the Underworld or Whip of Erebos . As a bonus, all of our threats have amazing enter the battlefield abilities. Whether it's four flying wasps, life siphon, or flat out exile, they demand an answer.

We also have the standard ramp package, minus Courser of Kruphix and fetch lands due to budget constraints, but I believe this build can still function without them. The majority of the cost from this deck comes from the Sylvan Caryatids and Siege Rhinos, but I already have the former so the cost doesn't bother me.

I believe that elaborate deck descriptions are not, and should not, be necessary for most decks (the exception being extreme combo decks). This deck is not a combo deck, and therefore I will not be providing an elaborate card choice section. If a choice isn't self-explanatory or there is a card that more appropriately fills a roll, please bring it to my attention.

I welcome and encourage all suggestions, comments, and upvotes! Thanks for looking!
