Akroma isn't good in reanimate anymore
it is true that Extirpate is gaining momentum at the moment, but most of the time the card isnt run mainboard, thus all you have to do after sideboard if your worried about it is run show and tell. ( you wont always get it, but they wont always get extirpate either.)
and Akroma isnt bad in reanimator decks, shes just not that much more effective than SSS. and thus got replaced by a copy of him in the deck.
plus the fact that she cant be animate deaded anymore sucks balls.
I cannot stress enough again and again... 4 hellkite copies are a must. he is the single handed MVP of the deck. if i could run 12 copies of him instead of anything else. i would. hahaha
Echoing truth fits fine. if you see alot of combo, but odds are its not going to save you, its a futile effort unless you have the stifles and extirpates to stop them completely, you may bounce the tokens... but you give them too much time to recover and kill you again... sad but true... combo is gay like that...
Id like to milk that oreo... split it in half...and lick all that sweet sweet candy off. mmmmm... oreos....

imps and oona's become hellkites?
I assume you mean Mirrorweave. Mirrorweave won't allow any more comes into play ability, so it might not work that amazingly with Hellkite. It would work well with Tidespout Tyrant or Sundering Titan, but it does cost four mana to win more.Originally Posted by Mr Wiggl3s
Has anyone considered knollspine dragon? Seems like he could come in handy if you are pushed into the later game as a slight bit of card draw. Just force some damage through with your smaller guys and reanimate him on second main phase. Yeah, it's probably win more but he IS a 7/5 flyer.
Does it also mean that their creatures become the chosen creature? It'd be so fun-stupid to play, i want to...
Ya, a few pages back
Yes, all creatures would become a 5/5 flier, 5/5 bouncer, 7/10 Armageddon bomb, or a 0/0 dead creature with Phantom Nishoba.
all im going to say is good luck getting to 4 mana consistently

I know its irrelevant, but this list is still 61 you know. Also one of my friends runs reanimator, and I was playing him the other day after lunch with my burn deck, and I won, but the funny part is that I killed him with street wraith in mono red burn :O I was also wondering if anyone uses Phantom Nishoba?

people... dont mean to sound like an ass... but please read some of the thread before you ask questions.
and burn by the way isnt a favorable matchup if you dont have a jitte. but since a minimal amount of people play it in mayor tournaments i dont find it necessary to change the deck to comply with it.

I've had to deal with this recently (a friend proxied it up and has decided to build it) and Simic Sky Swallower is the best reanimate target in the deck by far. I'm not concerned when I see Bogardan Hellkite, but when I see SSS I cry a little on the inside. It's nigh impossible to handle. Seriously, what handles is? EE for 7? Wrath of God or Damnation? Yeah, really slowly. All the commonly played removal in the format completely misses it. It should be played in more slots.

If it's all in our heads, it's best that we don't loose them.
its already in as a 4 of... cant really put of him in there hahaha.

I found out why my deck sucks
Im runing to thin on creatures...
My new list...
Code:// Lands 4 [U] Underground Sea 2 [RAV] Watery Grave 5 [TE] Swamp (4) 1 [PT] Island (4) 3 [ON] Bloodstained Mire 3 [ON] Polluted Delta // Creatures 4 [LRW] Oona's Prowler 4 [TO] Putrid Imp 4 [DIS] Simic Sky Swallower 4 [TSP] Bogardan Hellkite 2 [DS] Sundering Titan 1 [JU] Phantom Nishoba 1 [FD] Bringer of the Blue Dawn // Spells 4 [US] Exhume 4 [TE] Reanimate 4 [4E] Animate Dead 4 [5E] Brainstorm 4 [OD] Careful Study 2 [LRW] Ponder
I did read the thread, I was just pointing it out, and I actually like reanimator as opposed to those who just put it down. I didnt expect him to win, I was saying that because it was funny that I killed him with a street wraith in mono red burn. I'd never killed anyone with it before.
Also to raharu, the only other thing I can think of to get rid of SSS would be seize/therapy/extirpate type things.

all those except extirpate help us. hahaha

Isn't that actuallywhat makes the deck somewhat viable in legacy? That the threads only benefit from being destroyed?
Small hint, when Seizing/Therapying GY-recursion decks, it's best to hit the recursion engine rather than the recursion targets. I bet you know that.
If you play thoughtseize against reanimator and you see the following hand:
Bogardan Hellkite, Putrid Imp, Reanimate, SSS, Bloodstained Mire, Watery Grave, Brainstorm
Then what would you choose?
I'd take Putrid Imp, as it creates two dead cards in the opponent's cards. 2 dead cards which of course just can be shuffled away with Brainstorm + Mire.
"You're English is terrible and inconsistent."

Or, you know, eventually discarded at end of turn.
The correct pick is Reanimate, because they aren't guaranteed to hit a reanimation spell in three turns (very likely with Brainstorm+fetch, but not certain), but they are guaranteed to hit eight cards in hand.
The exception, of course, is if you've got another Thoughtseize or Duress for next turn, in which case taking Putrid Imp allows you to grab Reanimate anyway.

I would just not play Thoughtsieze againt Reanimator in the first place. 2 life is too much to pay against this deck.
You know that nightmare where your running but you just can't get away...
Willoe actually go the right play,
by taking the purtrid imp he theoretically eliminated most of your hand.the critters and reanimates cant be used until you get another discrd outlet or reanimate the imp.
if you manage to get your discard outlet in and get a creature in the yard its a losing battle for the opponent from that point on.

You're not making sense. You've put the fatties in the yard, great. Now you need to find a reanimation spell or all you have is a 1/1 flier.
Were I to take the Putrid Imp, you'd have to find a discard outlet (which most lists run in the same number as reanimation spells) or get to eight cards in hand. You would have slightly better odds of getting back into the game.
