Time to take the train down to value town! This deck is sweet. So sweet that I couldn't think of a better name because I was just so excited. Now this is a pretty greedy reanimator deck at its core. I want ALL of the big, mean nasties to show their ugly faces and I want my opponents to suffer as I beat their face in with those creatures (not something I'm used to doing in commander). The lines of play are pretty simple: aggressively Mulligan until you hit two of your three pieces (or all three), then play. Your pieces consist of fatties (duh), ways to put them in the graveyard (discard usually), and ways to reanimate them. What makes this deck so dangerous is when you start the game with entomb, which plays two roles of being a big creature and placing it in the graveyard for the low cost of one mana at instant speed. At that point all you need is a reanimation spell and you've got a recipe for painting a target right on your face. This deck does not combo out, and I never intended it to. But it does attrition out your opponents to the point of just scooping or losing to a giant 8/8 flyer that serves as a nearly infinite search engine. You'll notice we don't run counterspells. That's because we are mad greedy. While this is a ravos deck, the flavor of Kraum really serves as the philosophical icon of this deck. Bring out your dead! And enjoy this deck!
