Howdy all,
The legacy itch came back. And a recent bonus at work lead me to finish the pimping of my reanimator deck. I haven't played since Eldrazi was still new and running amok. From what I...
I used white for Loyal Retainers, Mentor, Meddling Mage,and Serenity in the past but went back to green.
Serenity ended up not being as good as abrupt decay. It's nice that it takes out multiple...
I should have clarified that I wasn't sure how to deal with the Eldrazi Mimics that copy the Dreadnaughts, I lost out against that on game 1 vs stiflenaught. My metagame has become inbred. Three...
Decided to use Reanimator today with a split into Top 4.
2:1 Burn
2:1 Stiflenaught with Eldrazi Mimic
Draw with Death and Taxes (thank god)
Nothing special. The stiflenaught matchup was...
Deed has been working well for me on the UB(g) build. Feels roughly the same speed of EE, at worst it's 3 mana to take out a chalice or tokens.
So, I got a phone call from one of my friends from the shop. There is a newcomer that went 4-0 at the Legacy weekly while I was at work. He's running Naya Zoo (!). Apparently he handily defeated BUG,...
Curious on this one. Are you dealing with what kind of Merfolk Decks? I've only dealt with two of them at GPNJ and early Elesh Norns/Ionas were enough to get the scoops so I never gave the match up...
Blazing Archon doesn't do enough by itself in a lot of Reanimator lists to justfy it's inclusion these days. Might be better off with an early sire of insanity or just attempt to race with...
At 3 CMC I'd consider a cheating fatty into play spell like Show and Tell or even Victimize if you are on a hapless researcher build. The card does remind me of dig through time a card I never really...
Question for the folks that run Daze and Flip-Jace, how do you guys board these respective cards in-out?
Is it best practice to cut completely Daze when on the draw due to daze being less...
Are you running a full set of Shows? Otherwise the card is a rather dead draw, fits closer to a full blown Sneak and Show build I feel.
My Mentor Board still had a reanimator focus to it though. It was
3 Monastery Mentor
3 Serenity
2 Pithing Needle
1 Loyal Retainers
1 Chain of Vapor
1 Echoing Truth
1 Sphinx of the Steel...
Don't think we have as many cantrips to make Grixis Delver worth it. You could attempt the Young Frankenstein build which uses both the Reanimation package and Young Pyromancer to apply pressure....
I saw one person do this against me at a GP. Showed me he removed all his white removal spells (Including Council's Judgement) at my complete bewilderment. So an evasive fatty easily beat out their...
I used Graveborn foils before I upgraded to Judge promo then finally to Oddy Foil. I'd probably shuffle a lot more if you are complaining of clumping. The graveborn ones I had did curl a bit so I...
We are already strong against other combo decks as it is to justify Ruric Thar. Griselbrand and Iona is usually enough to stop opposing combo decks. Want more combo hate, you can easily use Jin like...
Why the SB Jace it feels like either you 1-4x it mainboard since the grave hate is going to further invalidate the card. The 2 ??? slots I'd put additional thoughtseizes or duress. LDV feels weird,...
I went 2-0-1 in a double elimination event to split at the last round to avoid facing him twice.
I used the four color reanimator list, I wasn't impressed with the differences. Izzet charm never...
For the folks that run Hapless researcher, do you only cut ponders for it? If I did that I'd only have room for 2 of at this time.
I'm on the fence with running this Four Color build.
This is...
I don't think so, it's a good list but some will still favor the speed of petal builds. The "older" tri color lists still put up results in conjunction of the 4 color. My meta warped pretty bad where...
Tried playing Reanimator at the GP Columbus preview at Pittsburgh (Oh God GP Pittsburgh was awful) to terrible results
R1 Elves:
T1 Elesh Norn
T3 Griselbrand with Sphnix of Steel Wind
R2 4c...
When I played Miracles, I was taught the same thing. However, against certain decks where you know you had threats that were hard to interact with (Pre Mentor Miracles had difficulty fighting a...
The big body, menace ability, and the repeatable counterspell effect are nice. Reanimator does have enough spells in the 1-2 CMC range (3 CMC if you run Show and Tell) to counter most removals short...
Its almost two months since I've play tested with Jace. I cannot get him to resolve. He either eats removal, permission, or I just plain don't draw him. That alone makes me keep trying to test him.
