Junk Rites with DGM
Standard forum
Posted on May 3, 2013, 1 p.m. by Agog
I noticed Crypt Incursion today and started thinking it's getting to be a caustic environment for Junk Rites. Seems to me this card may be in some main boards.
This adds to the pre-DGM options of
Rest in Peace , Ground Seal , Tormod's Crypt , Grafdigger's Cage , Ash Zealot , Purify the Grave , Rakdos Charm
Anything on the good side for junk rites from DGM?
Thinking on it, if I ran red, I would do that, fun to say, sure, I'll take your Angel of Serenity from your graveyard in response to Unburial Rites and put 8 1/1 counters on my Zhur-Taa Ancient and you take 15 to the face.

Yeah, that's a potential showstopper in and of itself, although a junk rites deck could cast the flesh side of that spell. Maybe a Junk Flesh & Blood Jund deck type will evolve.

How about Obzedat's Aid ? taking fallen planeswalkers seems to be a good idea

You guys missed the key part of Flesh & blood...it's SORCERY speed. Can't do in "response". You would have to do it on your turn during a main phase.
Let us also not forget the other great graveyard removal "cantrips": Cremate , Beckon Apparition ,

Good point, although Flesh / Blood will be effective even as a sorcery... But not as a response. Good addition of more graveyard hate.

Not really. They will Grisly Salvage on your end step, and then use Unburial Rites on their turn to reanimate whatever they just put in there.
This is why things like Purify the Grave and Memory's Journey are so good against them

According to an article I read on StarCityGames.com, Junk Rites gained a bit of power by adding a couple Sin Collector s to the mainboard.

Memory's Journey is another from the innistrad block that is good as a sideboard card against junk rites.
the flesh side of Flesh / Blood It does say 'from a graveyard'.
