Because a lot of us have accepted that rather than have a counterplan for every individual hate piece where you have to guess right, we can just become a Show deck game 2 and dodge most of the hate...

It's kind of the nature of the beast. Reanimator is a very very strong list when it wants to cooperate and you're having a good day, but sometimes you get Show and Tell syndrome where you just don't...

Not that a comment that short really merits response, but fuck it, I'm feeling froggy.

1) Jin Gitaxias is a smaller body for four more mana. Though the actual mana cost is usually irrelevant, I...

We've went over most of this in the thread already, but generally - Unless your meta is entirely Omnitell and Elves, Sire largely outmodes Iona. You want a catch all like Tyrant, Angel, or Archon...

Griselbrand is your default mode. Unless one of your (usually three) silver bullets happens to crush the match (think Elesh Norn vs. Elves, Tidespout or AA vs. Show and Tell, or Sire vs. Combo), you...

I think the biggest thing you have to overcome in order to "find a home" for Contamination is the issue of "why am I not just running blood moon?".

I get that it sounds like a brush off, and I...

Daze and Petal together are fairly "stock" in terms of the UB lists. Our effective window of operation pushes us to go faster and interact earlier than most decks, so eight free countermagic and...

My seventy five is pretty standard UB, not too much different from my Philly list other than the Dazes over Thoughtseize.

MD:

Creatures - 7
1 x Elesh Norn
1 x Sire of Insanity
1 x...

You play Dazes and Petals.

Massacre is necessary for DnT and Junk decks. Neither are actually that bad or unwinnable, though Massacre and Show and Tell are certainly some of the reasons why they...

I kind of briefly went over this, but my general thoughts are that - tyrant is much more high variance and on a smaller body. Sure, sometimes you cast a billion spells and they pick up their whole...

The two Truth slots might be fine as sol lands. I've enjoyed the two Ancient tombs in my board, for whatever that's worth.

My current list runs fifteen lands, 4 petals, twelve cantrips. While...

While I still strongly support Admonition Angel over Tyrant (your list even has an extra fetchland), think Sire is just superior to Iona anymore, and don't understand two Daze (seems like a four or...

And other things you never thought you'd hear...

Sire on one or two or (insert Angel/Tyrant here) is really only your game one plan. Game two, needle on karakas, make a Griselbrand is usually way more than enough. This matchup isn't nearly as bad...

I actually cut Iona for Sire, since a lot of the decks she was good against either don't exist anymore, or get equally wrecked by Sire of Insanity. Current suite of giant monsters is

Recent addition I mentioned over in the "worst matchups" thread, but after almost a year of switching in and out between Tyrant, Terrastadon, and Ashen Rider as my "solution to permanents" non...

Maverick due to drs abs ooze attacking your graveyard, Thalia attacking your ability to dig and counter, wasteland constraining your mana, revoker turning off griselbrand's draw, teeg removing your...

Reanimator's worst matchup is probably BUG / Deathblade. Deathrite Shaman, counter magic, Thoughtseize and often Lilly main let them interact with you in every zone, and can lock you out from ever...

Affinity is chromatic, right? Seems like Cranial Plating powers the life's legacy fine, since you don't actually lose the power attached. Just a generic robot idiot.

Is Architect of Thought perhaps better than Jtms here? I get that the Brainstorm is relevant, but Jace has a hard enough time being a relevant magic card outside of Miracles as it is, and...

Other end of the spectrum from NO, could be more of a BG 12post list.

Also vote on Emrakul plus Xenagos. If you're actually resolving a 9 mana spell, it should win you the game. Not get swords...

Normal reanimator pilot chiming in. First off, Sire is the real deal and I've appropriated him for the UB shell of the deck. Card is nuts.

Secondly, given the large amounts of fast mana and...

Trigger me timbers, NWO has finally made the meta fair enough that Burn can get there. And get there. And get there.

I don't want to live in this planet anymore.

Id run the fourth Ponder before the eighth fatty (though I was up to 8 and 3 show and tell main for awhile last year), and shy away from probe - especially in the Thoughtseize lists, it's just too...
