Scott Pilgrim Combos the World! A Reanimator Deck

Commander / EDH* Combo Competitive Five Color Infinite Combo Multiplayer

Dragula123


Well, in the words of a good friend of mine.

We're here.

It's getting warmer this winter season!

This is a five color reanimator list featuring the very unconventional inclusion of Golos as our five color commander and outlet.

Bearing this in mind, we have access to all the fun things this format has to offer, including some very fun shenanigans with the format's most powerful combos.

Look below for a comprehensive list of our combos!

Here, there is no preferential treatment between our combos.

You see, they all weave together rather wonderfully.

Our main outlet for victory stems from the deep blue menace that came in the form of:

Demonic Consultation + Thassa's Oracle

-Fairly intuitive combo. Name Banishing Knack(magical), remove your entire library, and poof, oracle's effect will win you the game! Note, we have redundancy in both Jace, Wielder of Mysteries in an oracle effect, as well as Tainted Pact as a consultation effect.

Once secured, this all in combo serves to pull us very fast wins, while also serving as a win con if we achieve infinite mana (a feature we will return to very soon).

With Flash + Protean Hulk , we have access to two compact hulk combo:

Consulting the local oracles: Blood Pet + Spellseeker + Thassa's Oracle

  • This will allow us instant access to our Demonic Consultation, which, if we stack our triggers right, we will resolve our spellseeker first, tutor that consultation, and with the oracle's trigger on the stack, we may proceed to win from there.

Which brings us to our next pile:

Extorting. Now with tigers! Dockside Extortionist + Temur Sabertooth

  • This pile is far more dependent on your opponents having a threshold of at least five artifacts/enchantments on board, thus making this pile a bit more conditional, yet very effective. You see, by creating five treasures, we will have enough to bounce back our goblin buddy to hand, and cast him again, netting us back our lost treasures, plus one. Accrue enough treasure to use our commander as an outlet, and proceed to win from there.

Last, but certainly not least, we have the namesake of this deck:

The grain of sand that broke the dragon's back: Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead/Necromancy

  • Essentially, this will create a loop in which upon a reanimate enchantment entering the battlefield, the dragon will enter and exile all our permanents. The enchantment's trigger goes on to the stack, attempting to sacrifice worldgorger dragon. You will allow the trigger to resolve, sacrificing worldgorger. This will then trigger worldgorger to return all permanents to the our side of the field, which brings back our reanimator enchantment. Ahhh! And now float all your mana if possible, because we're gonna be looping this for awhile!

Now ideally, you would have been able to cast golos prior to this to fetch yourself either a golden colored land for access to all colors and go ham on golos activations till you exile your entire deck and win via oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, or you fetch your Sunscorched Desert to ping your opponents to death.

Is golos on the battlefield? Great! He can fetch any land you need during the combo! It's as easy as that.

Now, the fun part about all of this is seeing that Necromancy works very well with Protean Hulk during an opponents turn, allowing us access to our combos at instant speed so long as hulk is in grave.

Small things like that add up, and it's nice to see how all of these little critters can work together to do some fun ol' things!

Well, the card options here help us to adapt to our opponents so that we can function through not only a fast win, but a resilient and grindy win to the end!

With the help of wheel effects, whether that be Windfall or what have you, we may recur something like our Notion Thief, or another person's valuable creature and make use of it ourselves! Let no resource go to waste. We're as compact as a recycling center churning through various plastics.

Other than that, we have a slew of interactive spells and tutors to help smooth out the gameplay and interact with what we may encounter out there.

. . .

It can be a Mexican standoff out there in cEDH, but worry not stranger! With this dumpster fire, you'll be equipped to handle anything out in the Wild West!

And of course, any feedback on what trash burns best is always appreciated.

Much love,

Dragula123
