Basic strategy is to reanimate a beater early, force excess resources to remove it/deny resources, and either win there or transition into a control shell with Lab Man overdraw and Scarab God armies as the primary win cons.

Updated version of my Scarab God list. Focusing more on streamlining the deck and taking influence from CEDH reanimator lists. Still being built and subject to change. Would certainly add Entomb, Force of Will/Pact of Negation, black tutors, and better acceleration if I had access to it at the moment. Additionally I'd potentially add some cards for Doomsday piles in the form of some free card draw, but that's hard to say since I haven't tested this version enough and Doomsday is fairly likely to dilute the reanimator/control strategy a bit too much.

I'm using the other boards to mean slightly different things. Sideboard = CEDH playgroup. Maybeboard = maybeboard for competitive.

No sideboarding guide at the moment but would like to make one.
