While we attack their mind to remove threats, Chainer waits.

While we annihilate every creature in our path, Chainer waits.

Then, when the time is right, Chainer channels death itself into a living nightmare.

And kablam, there ya go.

This is a duel deck. It's potency decreases quickly in multiplayer, but Chainer's animate effect can still keep you in the game.

This was built as a "Canadian Highlander" deck, but it doubles as Chainer EDH.

True to classic , it's top to bottom hand attack and creature removal. The goal is to get your opponent handless as quickly as possible, while animating their own creatures against them.
