This deck of mine is the realisation of almost two years of building, so it's a kind of legacy for me. The high cost of the general is a fair price to pay: when Sheoldred, Whispering One hits the board not many decks are able to respond, expecially when she's equipped with Lightning Greaves. The deck uses the typical strategy of reanimator decks, putting big cards like It That Betrays, Platinum Emperion or Grave Titan into the graveyard in many ways (Entomb, Raven's Crime, Buried Alive, Cabal Therapy), then making them return to the battlefield with cards like Diabolic Servitude , Reanimate or Exhume.Cards like Sol Ring, Dark Ritual, Thran Dynamo and Mind Stone provide mana acceleration. To find the cards you need is permitted by the two tutors: Demonic Tutor and Diabolic Tutor. Finally, the four planeswalkers provide a reaction to many of the opponents' strategies, together with a bunch of removal spells. Last but not least, the eight Wraths in the maindeck like Nevinyrral's Disk, Toxic Deluge and All Is Dust are always ready to wipe too crowded boards. Dance, Pathetic Marionette , everyone, even the dead, is going to bow to my greatness.
