Reanimator in Standard
Standard forum
Posted on March 18, 2014, 4:02 p.m. by harrydemon117
Has anybody messed with trying to build a reanimator deck?
I've been thinking of using cards like Rescue from the Underworld , Whip of Erebos , Commune with the Gods , Deadbridge Chant , and Grisly Salvage , Underworld Connections as the base.
Creatures I'm considering are:
Ashen Rider , Angel of Serenity , Obzedat, Ghost Council , Treasury Thrull , Deathrite Shaman , etc

There's a guy at my FNM known for his Jank builds, and he is currently on Junk Reanimator. He's using a lot of the cards that you've mentioned.
It's a pretty tough deck to beat, I'd try it out.
Also, Blood Baron of Vizkopa .

It's not so much reanimator going on but dredge people are using/abusing well.
It's more about Nighthowler , Nemesis of Mortals and Deathrite Shaman with Satyr Wayfinder Commune with the Gods , Grisly Salvage and similar.

Sylvan Primordial wrecks UWx control decks and certain midrange decks by attacking their land base.

There was a Junk reanimator deck at the Super Sunday Series right after BNG came out. You can find it here and it's made by Daniel Wielgorski.

There was Junk reanimator getting Top 8 for a couple of weeks during Theros as well. http://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=6848&d=239357 is the most recent I could find

Something I find fun with reanimator, especially in this standard, is to bring back huge things, almost like Goryo's Vengeance modern deck except in standard. My deck runs things like Worldspine Wurm and Giant Adephage to reanimate

How do you reanimate Worldspine Wurm ? It has to be done at instant speed otherwise it gets shuffled into your library..

I have been playing about with a deck like this, using mainly a black devotion build and some Champion of Stray Souls (which I believe can reanimate at instant speed.
I mainly try to use creatures that have some nice ETB or when dies effect, like Ashen Rider .

harrydemon117 - You have to scroll down a bit, but it lists interesting Standard decks at the event, one of which is Junk Reanimator.

I have a deck, that's supposed to be like Jund Reanimator, check it out and see what you think. The plan for mine, however, is Lotleth Troll getting huge over and over again.

I found it thanks. Interesting he chose Obzedat's Aid over Rescue from the Underworld ...

@harrydemon117 OA gets any permanent and RftU requires sacing a creature which makes it a little less optimal even though RftU is instant speed.
I'd probably run rescue in the SB though. Nice surprise for control decks. Lol
