  1. Re: Two questions. Karakas vs StP, and Drown in Sorrow vs. Bridge From Below

    Really? Even though the -2/-2 is until end of turn?
  2. Re: [Deck] Mono Black Reanimator, slow version

    Thanks. That was a typo, it should be 4xEntomb and 4xExhume. Fixed now.



    Maybe you are right - the Urborg is a holdover from when I had 4x Wasteland.




    Putrid Imp - maybe. It's faster,...
  3. [Deck] Mono Black Reanimator, slow version

    Here is the overview: This is a reanimator deck that instead of acting like explosive combo and getting huge advantage early, like most reanimators, instead its slowed down with lots of protection...
  4. Two questions. Karakas vs StP, and Drown in Sorrow vs. Bridge From Below

    OK questions about two plays that came up recently. I'll try to describe as simply as I can.

    1. I have a legendary creature on the table.
    2. Opponent targets that creature with Swords to...

    Re: [Deck]BUx Reanimator

    Can someone explain to me - why so many builds have 4x Griselbrand?

    Doesn't that make you really vulnerable to cards like Surgical Extraction? And you can't put out more than one at a time anyway....

    Re: [Deck] B/U Reanimator

    Thoughtseize is better than Duress for Reanimator, but it's still not the best option. You are right - when you add in the damage from the fetchlands and Reanimate Spells, Thoughtseize is just too...

    Re: [Deck] B/U Reanimator

    In my own experience, once an opponent gets the CB and Sensei's Diving Top on the table, it is VERY hard to get around it - if the opponent is an experienced player and is playing it properly.

    Re: [Deck] B/U Reanimator

    Yes, but on the other hand, a 3cc spell is less likely to be stopped by Counterbalance.

    Re: [Deck] B/U Reanimator

    An alternate for that slot is Hellkite Overlord. I like it a lot - it's vulnerable to removal, but it swings for 8 damage immediately, winning you the game that turn in many cases.

    Re: [Deck] B/U Reanimator

    Liege of the Tangle is interesting, I may experiment with that. It's sort of a quicker version of Godsire. But I wonder if it's just "win more"? It doesn't help you control what your opponent is...

    Re: [Deck] B/U Reanimator

    What do you guys really think about the spell Reanimate these days, vs. Exhume and Animate Dead, or others?

    I have gone back and forth on this. The extra speed of a 1cc spell is nice, but I'm...

    Re: Black Pill aka Reanimator

    Yes! When your opponent is low on life, and you can kill him right away with a haste creature. Although if this is the reason, I prefer the Hellkite Overlord, since he does more damage (you can also...

    Re: [Deck] B/U Reanimator

    I slightly disagree - Merfolk often packs bounce (like Wipe Away) which will easily get rid of Blazing Archon. I think Iona on Blue is a better choice, possibly Inkwell if your opponent doesn't have...

    Devout Witness lets me discard a card, and it turns any card I'm holding into a Disenchant, so it's protection against Leyline, Relic, etc. But I might move it to the sideboard. Deathbringer...
