Full Optimization Within Reach —Aug. 16, 2016

CUT: Rune-Scarred Demon; Birthing Pod; Kiora's Follower; Bloom Tender; Joraga Treespeaker; Trinket Mage; Demonic Consultation ; Peregrine Drake; Deadeye Navigator; Cephalid Coliseum; Dryad Arbor

ADDED: Chrome Mox; Mox Diamond; Regrowth; Lotus Petal; Elvish Spirit Guide; Boreal Druid; Wall of Roots; Mental Misstep; Flusterstorm; Ad Nauseam; Lim-Dul's Vault

With these changes I have completely done away with any remnant of my previous mid-range reanimator build and I have cut many of my favorite cards. In its place I have added a bevy of cards to get to my combos faster and make the deck more resilient to hate. The extra speed allows me to construct my combos within a single turn more often to work around graveyard hate and catch my opponents with their pants down by winning from an empty board more frequently. Only time will tell if more changes will be needed, but the deck is incredibly close to full optimization. A primer is in the works...

Megalomania: I have found Food Chain to be the easiest 2 card combo to assemble in my deck on average. Its pretty neck and neck with Necrotic Ooze, but significantly faster than the others. The beauty of the combo is it rewards me for doing things I already would do. For instance one drop mana dorks are amazing with it since you play the dork on turn one, tutor for one of the pieces on turn 2 and/or interact with the board. Then on turn 3 I cast food, chain exile the dork for 2 mana, cast Eternal Scourge, and after a few more free steps gg. Its so effective I am seriously considering playing freaking Boreal Druid and Perplex. Another perk of the FC combo is that my exile creatures have great synergy with cards like Force of Will and Gemstone Caverns. The combo also lends itself to two extremely powerful but inconsistent tutors in Demonic Consultation & Tainted Pact, which also happen to 2 card combo with Laboratory Maniac in a terrifying way. This latter synergy is why I decided to go all in on Hermit Druid.
