Is the new Emrakul good enough? It can be reanimated!
I thought the same but for what reason do you wanna play him over other targets?Originally Posted by kinda
I dont like that he has not hexproof and is vulnerable to Karakas. He can be tried as big beater, every other creature in this deck has an immediate board impact.

New Emmy no longer has annihilator, still not comparable with the Old Emmy I think :(
It's the only critter that wins in 2 swings and is pro swords...but unsure if that's s good enough reason. It can also block griselbrand :).
Iona is pro swords and Tidespout Tyrant and Griselbrand can deal with opposing griselbrands pretty well... I don't think it is very good in this deck...
Not to mention Grave Titan is a 2-swing win with better bonuses.
What do you think about the new monster from Eldritch Moon: Docent of Perfection / Final Iteration? I think specifically about the slot occupied by Grave Titan.
I like it but testing will show whether or not it's good enough. I like it in builds with flip jace and hapless researchers.
I dont like this card over Grave Titan. It doesnt effect the board immediately like Grave titan does. You reanimate Grave Titan a 6/6 deathtouch creature that brings two 2/2 bodys this turn. Next turn it attacks for 10 and produces again two 2/2 bodies without spending a single mana for it.What do you think about the new monster from Eldritch Moon: Docent of Perfection / Final Iteration?

With this new card you get a 5/4 flying body and need spells to create 1/1 bodies (only instant and sorcery. No Petal). Thus you have to spend mana to reanimate this new creature and then you have to spend mana on the spells to get value out of this creature. I think this isnt the right creature for this deck because you wanna reanimate as soon as possible with as little mana as possible

I agree. In a Hapless Researcher build like mine it caught my eye, but it can't compare to Grave Titan. Not having to put any more resources into building an army is a huge upside, you're free to devote your maximum to protecting your dude or getting another creature out or just sitting back and building a godly hand while they scramble to remove it. This seems like an trap to overextend your spells to try and get more creatures, only to get blown out by a Swords or something. You got to assume in a prefect world, if you're not going for Griselbrand, there must be a reason. Why? Karakas, Ensnaring Bridge, Liliana, facing down lethal damage, many reasons out there. All of our non-Griselbrand creatures should exist to address a specific threat. Grave Titan beats on the turn it comes out Karakas, Liliana and multiple Tarmogoyfs. This guy seems like he does all that, but only with a huge grip of other spells.
Sure, on paper Grave Titan looksa bit better. Especially if we are talking about the board impact. And although in most arguments, I agree with you, I think that Docent of Perfection is simply "too close" to be playable and needs to be tested. Over the years, often it turned out that the seemingly useless creature was later included in the core Reanimator. And vice versa.
But perhaps speaks through me the hunger for new reanimation targets. This is a typical necromancers disease.
I like delver 3.0, but I think it needs to be tested. There is potential.
I am still angry that they needet to make shitty yugi o fusion shit... I woud give my left leg to reanimate the fustion angel.
Slightly off topic...
Aside from Griselbrand, what's the best reanimation target against Miracles? I'm working on a Jund Depths deck with Reanimator sideboard. So far it seems Griselbrand and then Iona are 1/2, but looking for a third target as well - I had Sire of Insanity, but it doesn't seem that great anymore. Something eventually hard castable in a BRG shell. Terrastadon to destroy a few Counterbalances/RIPs? Go all in on reanimating Tidespout Tyrant for his solid abilities against Lands as well?
Inkwell or Archetype of Endurance would come to mind. oh, Also Keranos is good
Aetherling used to be played before Containment Priest began to be used.
It's pretty hard to answer outside of that particular card.
Keranos shits on Containment priests
Your first target should be Griselbrand or Iona, Shield of Emeria on white and then, if you really want to, Archetype of Endurance to secure Iona from blue bounce.
Also protects Marit Lage...I'll put it on the list. Thanks!
Any word on the Mono Black Reanimator primer?
I must admit honestly that the works are going a little slower than I assumed it. In my calculations, I forgot to take into account the time that I spend on watching Euro 2016 matches. Especially now when Poland (my country) came out of the group, beat Switzerland in 1/8's and tomorrow will face Portugal in the battle for the semi-finals.
I promise I'll try not to exceed the deadline too much.
Maybe a bit of an odd question but here goes. With the prevalence of Karakas, Maze of Ith and Swords to Plowshares I'm going to start running 1 Archetype of Endurance and I'm considering running it main. If I do, do I reanimate Archetype first and best down until I can reanimate Griselbrand? Or reanimate Gris first and dig for an Archetype?
