Standard reanimator

Deck Help forum

Posted on Sept. 13, 2012, 8:40 p.m. by 2austin5

I want to build a standard reanimator deck. I know the basic essential with Unburial Rites but what other support cards would help this deck. Also, try and tone it towards post rotation. I would like to do 5 color somehow but I feel like grixis is the best bet. Input would be very helpful

Faithless Looting is a good place to start

Im concerned more by the cards that would just make the deck fall apart like card:Grafdigger's Cage, what are they and how should they be handled?

Memory Collapse

Check that deck out.. It might give you some ideas. It does work, but still really clunky. It's a work in progress. I'm hoping something gets spoiled for more blue self mill.

The only way I see to get around card:Grafdigger's Cage is to change up the deck with a sideboard to just mill out your opponent.

So? Is that the only reanimator that can exist? Besides.. I think he means standard after rotation. About half the mana base goes away, crippling the deck.

cripple the deck how does scars land leaving cripple frites? We get ravnica dual lands which are better late game compared to the SOM lands and still good early game. Plus the ravnica lands let the M13 and INN duals to come in untapped. So if anything I think frites land base is getting better. Yes the loss of a green red dual hurts a little but we still get duals that let other duals come in untapped.

There are a few Golgari cards in RTR that should be good in a reanimator deck. card:Jarad's Orders and Grisly Salvage help fill your gy. Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and the Scavenge creatures interact with the gy well. Can you post your deck as it is so far so we can see what else to recommend? A basic frites build would probably be a good place to start.

Yea Im not trying to copy frites, Im not a fan of copying decks in general. Obviously there is only so much one can do with reanimator but as for the deck it is still a prototype because I have not finished it, it still needs 19 cards to hit 60

You don't have to copy frites, but it does have pretty much all the good pre-RTR reanimator cards in it, so it's a good place to start. If you post what you have so far we can comment on it, otherwise I have no idea what you already have. I'd recommend Mulch , but I don't know if you already chose it, etc.
