Ugh I wish I could remember, probably a land and maybe a second re-animation spell?

Ugh I wish I could remember, probably a land and maybe a second re-animation spell?

I'm going from memory, but it was an opening hand something like this:
Land
Chancellor
Ritual
Thoughtseize
Animate Dead
2 irrelevant cards
"Great!", you say, "I can Ritual, discard my...
Which decks do you think those are? Getting a T1 Chancellor on the board, even with a reveal, gives your opponent 4-5 turns to deal with it, or just play right past it. I had an opponent on Storm...
This tracks with my experiences as well, and I think a big weakness of the deck is that it doesn't mulligan well because you need so many cards to combo out fast around hate. How you respond depends...
Nice work! I notice you're off Sire of Insanity and Chancellor of the Annex in that version, how has that been working out?
The green vs. white vs. blue vs. none splash decision feels like a metagame call. What kind of hate did you see people bringing in against you during the tournament?
I think 2 and 4 are your best bets. Grixis doesn't have a whole lot of enchantment removal by default, it's likely in the form of Abrupt Decay which they almost certainly won't bring in against this...
Chancellor is good in your opening hand, but really mediocre in every other situation, and even mediocre in your opener if it's your only reanimation target. Getting it out on T1 still gives your...
Personal opinion: I don't see the point of Archetype of Endurance in this deck. It's only a singleton so you have to either get lucky or Entomb it out, and do you really want to reanimate it first so...
Some random thoughts on SSG and Unmask and another fast mana option, Chrome Mox
SSG Pros:
- You can dagger blue players by paying for Daze
- Enables Faithless Looting pre-land-drop
- Can't be...
Am I alone in feeling that Chancellor of the Annex is the worst re-animation target? Spending your entire hand on a T1 Chancellor presents both the slowest clock and the most disruptable plan, as you...
I've actually been super impressed with Tidespout Tyrant lately (online), he gets around Karakas and Pithing Needle and I find that when I'm Entombing him instead of Griselbrand, I have almost a full...
I just put this deck together on a lark last night, and after a few games of practice, immediately went 3-2 and 4-1 in leagues. This deck is bananas. I refuse to pay for Unmasks online so I'm running...
