Are you sick of turn 1 Sol Ring lowering your win percentage? Are you tired of casting expensive staples like Cyclonic Rift and Mana Vault ? Does your meta not listen to enough CMDR Central not include graveyard hate? Do you like combos and want to flood the board with mid-sized threats? Do you think New Perspectives is a cool card? Then this is the deck for you.

This is what I call a trick deck. It does one silly thing requiring unconventional deck building restraints, in this case nothing costs 2 or less except the combo cards, and the deck only does one trick: reanimate a bunch of dudes with living end.

This deck can eisiily be made budget, use a cheap manabase of gain and tri lands, cut the expensive cards except living end, and the cost drops by hundreds.

Yidris is not essential to the deck working, it is just a backup in case you don't draw Violent Outburst , Demonic Dread or Shardless Agent . Casting any 3 mana card with cascade gives you either demonic tutor (to get Living Death ) or Living End every time.

Early Game: Cycle a lot and cast wheels if you can as they basically mass cycle your hand. Get as many dudes in the bin as possible.

Mid Game: Hopefully have a haste enabler online and cheat in Living End with cascade. Board wipes can slow you down, but your running more than one mass reanimate so you should be fine in the long run.

Late Game: The game is either over or you've been hated out with a mass exile or graveyard hate and you've lost.

Weaknesses: Graveyard hate and wraths that exile. Normal wraths and counterspells can slow you down but Eternal Witness and tutors for Living Death , Twilight's Call and occasionally Balthor the Defiled mean they need a lot to really shut you down. Weaknesses are few but glaring.

Single Card Explanations: Will add more when the need comes up, if you don't know why a card is included, comment.

Doom Whisperer is an alternate way to fill the bin.

Drake Haven is an alternate win condition. If you've ever played against a Talrand deck you know that the drakes can add up fast.

Olivia, Mobilized for War We can't play greaves or boots and this is the next best thing because it lets us discard as well. Useful when you have 7 mana, play Yidris discard E-wit swing right away cast a 3 mana card get living end and the e-wit returns something back to your hand, you wipe the board, and get a lot of cyclers into play.
