Finally a Jund reanimator! Well kind of. It’s possible to add extra effects to make tokens created by Gyrus stick around, but at that point, you’re just playing subpar reanimator. Instead, this deck aims to try to compliment Gyrus’s abilities in a few ways:

1. Echo, Exploit, and Evoke Creatures - these creatures have decent ETB effects and then self-sacrifice to be brought back with Gyrus.

2. High CMC creatures with low power - Hornet Queen and Acidic Slime do their job when they ETB while Realm Seekers and Ignition Team can pack a punch when reanimated by Gyrus and then be sacrificed to an effect like Greater Good for extra value.

3. Speed and Resilience - Gyrus has the benefit of being explosive early game and functioning on low mana. If the graveyard gets exiled, it hurts less than other graveyard strategies since everything in there is meant to be expended. And if Gyrus is removed, it just comes back bigger thanks to its ability.
