Pharika Brainstorming. Largely Experimental, intended as Proof of Concept for cEDH.Pseudo Budget but also intentional choices. Colored mana is very important early.

Living Death / Yisan / Mike and Trike win conditions.

In all seriousness. This list is intended as a meta silver bullet into heavy reanimator and boonweaver style decks. Pharika does serve a functional purpose as a way to hose those strategies.Piloting is a standard G/B reanimator list. We want to try to Mike/Trike or Nooze if the opportunity is available. Otherwise, stall, be annoying, remove things, and try to draw into Living Death with a large enough stock of creatures and an enabler (concordant crossroads, earthcraft) to loop it with either Eternal Witness of Skullwinder (yes, Skullwinder. There is always someone you can pick that it won't make a difference).

Game record:

vs Breya, Mishra, Rakdos LoR.Close game, loss.

vs Tazri, Jace VP, and Teferi.Close game, long game. Win. Just managed to sneak through stax.
