JVP is the mutt's nutts. I played him before and thought he was good, and am currently playing 2 in the board and he's still good. Sucks that Grafdigger's Cage also neuters his best PW ability but...

Is it wrong that I almost like Brutality more now? I was still in the "testing it out" phase and it always felt a little slow against DRS since discarding is part of the cost, you couldn't get the...

So this is the last saved decklist I have for UB Reanimator and will probably be my starting point for the new meta, this is circa shortly after Top got banned, hence the lack of green/Abrupt Decay....

I imagine you could kinda trim around the edges of the deck to find room for 3-4 Chancellors if that's what you're into. Given that this is an open meta and you probably genuinely have no idea what...

To answer your first question, with no hunch of what my opponent might be on, I'd lead with Thoughtseize first. Gives you the opportunity to snipe DRS out of your opponents hand before it can hit the...

You wouldn't need 4 to have a competitive list, but 3 is kinda the bare minimum of Underground Sea for the deck. I wouldn't play Watery Grave since the deck is pretty life sensitive already between...

I know it was discussed a while back, but I'd be loathe to play 4 SnT in the 75 and not have any City of Traitors. I'm kinda high on City in general right now with so much Delver bouncing around,...

This is my updated list right now, a little bit of a different take than the last two posted:

2x Swamp
1x Island
4x Underground Sea
4x Polluted Delta
4x Verdant Catacombs

3x Griselbrand
1x...

That's a super interesting thought and my gut reaction is probably yes, you can drop green unless you know your meta is chock full of chalice of the void. Even then I'll probably just play a couple...

I'm 4x FoW, 3x Daze, 2x Thoughtseize, 2x Collective Brutality and I've been loving it (0 Show and Tell in my 75, I just don't like the card honestly). CB is a little slow but it's so good against DRS...

I think Miracles is largely off RiP now, instead relying on Surgical + Snapcaster for all their graveyard hate needs. You're still bringing in Decay obviously because you need a way to deal with...

There was a boatload of Sneak & Show in the top 32, and probably the GP in general. In that regard, Ashen Rider seems like a perfectly cromulent sideboard card.

So basically Tin Fins with Chancellor? Or is this a totally separate deck? I've been wondering for a while actually what the advantages of BR Reanimator are over Tin Fins. If you want a faster...

I think PirateKing has offered excellent advice, the only thing I would disagree with is JVP in the main vs. sideboard. I think JVP is a good sideboard card and a terrible maindeck card.

UB...

Someone good at crunching numbers and probability would have to back this up, but I remember listening to a podcast with Patrick Chapin a year or 2 ago, and he was talking about deckbuilding, and I...

I like JVP but only as a sideboard option. In boarded games, you can 1) expect the game to play out slower due to the amount of hate your opponent will board in; and 2) expect your opponent to board...

1. Sire is great in a meta where you can expect a lot of storm or really any combo deck that requires a critical mass of cards to win (I'll include sneak and show in that as well and kinda infect). ...

DRS game 1 is a tremendous pain the the ass and its ubiquity in legacy is one of the biggest reasons Reanimator isn't a Tier 1 deck. Without maindeck izzet charm, it's very difficult to win G1 if...

I've only played against lands a few times but I found the matchup to be relatively easy. Tidespout Tyrant is the blowout of the century against them, you can pretty easily get their entire board...

I think 3 Decay would be fine. I assume you've got at least a couple of Pithing Needle in your sideboard as well and since there's some overlap between Needle and Decay (DRS, Relic, etc), you...

I've been testing out one Jace and I've been impressed. Where he really shines are the sideboard games where things are grindier and you need to fight through more discard/counterspells. The first...

Make sure to watch out for Ensnaring Bridge out of Tezz, either cast normally or tutored up via Transmute Artifact as pretty much every version runs one MD.

It's worth noting that Tezzerator is one of the only decks that runs main deck graveyard hate as powerful as leyline (since they combo it with helm). About the only other deck that could do you...

oooof, that's brutal :-/

Also, the life against Delver isn't really that relevant. Only WUR delver even has a legitimate way to get rid of Griselbrand game 1 (unless BUG is running murderous cut). They cant attack with...
