Hello, I'm brand new to the forums, and after having spent a few years away from magic i am trying to build a competitive reanimation deck for 1.5
the premise of this deck is to put two krosan cloudscrapers in the graveyard and play sutured ghoul as a 26/26 trample. i have designed this deck with lots of mana exceleration, such as dark ritual and song of the damned, and fast ways to get all three cards in the graveyard, buried alive, and finally cheap ways to get sutured to play, reanimate, shallow grave, and exhume. well, this is probably easier if i just give you the decklist first:
Put creatures in graveyard: 8
4 buried alive 2B
4 Mystical tutor U
4 carefull study U
Take creatures out: 12
4 Reanimate B
4 Shallow grave 1B
4 Exhume 1B
Big creatures: 5
2 Sutured ghoul
4 krosan cloudscraper
Mana sources: 14
4 Lotus petal 0
4 song of the damned B
4 dark ritual B
2 cabal ritual 1B
Land: 12
4 city of brass
4 gemstone mine
4 swamp
Random cards to possibly sideboard
hymn to tourach
duress
defense grid
crumble
Tendrils of Agony
Now this deck clearly has a few glaring problems, namely playing against anyone with Tormod's Crypt or Swords to plowshares will slow this dawn and possibly make it unable to recover. basically this daeck has plenty of possibilities for a turn 2-3 kill, and a few turn 1, but after that unless it can get enough land to play Sutured Ghoul, then fling it for 26, there is a decent chance that its will be unable to prevent opponent from simply blocking it if i use shallow grave, for 7 damage, and being at one life, now they are still free to kill me.
I also have one question about priority, and while i know this isn't the place, this is specific to this deck. if this is playing a solidarity deck, and decks me and i respond buy plating reanimate, then fling who wins?
Thanks in advance for the help i'll be glad to clarify any questions!
