Made this deck just because of graveborn coming out and getting a full playset of
Entomb
s. I love reanimator decks, and getting foil
Entomb
s that cheap is really nice.Considering Gitaxian Probe for figuring out my opponents strategy and finding the best thing to counter with, but I don't know what to take out.Any suggestions are welcomed and +1s are appreciated. Thanks!
Card Explanations:
Inkwell Leviathan
-Mainly for use against major control decks or slow blue decks
Iona, Shield of Emeria-certain win against slow, mono-colored decks
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
-usually the first thing I drop against elves and goblins. Nothin' like killing every creature they play instantly
Sphinx of the Steel Wind-Keeps a good offense and defense, especially against RDW
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur-Keeps my opponents top-decking most of the time and helps me discard more creatures
Sheoldred, Whispering One-Helps me reanimate other creatures if used with buried alive or putrid imp, plus gets rid of hexproof, shroud, and indestructible creatures
Sharuum the Hegemon-works best in combo with Magister Sphinx for a second or third turn win, but can also be used for getting back
Inkwell Leviathan
or sphinx-of-the-steeel-wind
It That Betrays-can keep my opponents board clean most of the time and gives me whatever they try to play against me, keeps them from getting the lands they need in slower decks
Hellkite Overlord-mainly just used if i'm feeling especially merciful, but it also works good against decks with little control
Putrid Imp-Lets me discard my creatures if I don't get
Entomb
or Buried Alive
Entomb
and Buried Alive-Let me find exactly the right creature to counteract my opponents strategy
Exhume, Reanimate, and Animate Dead-Duh
Dark Ritual-lets me use Buried Alives sooner and allows turn 2 kills
Crystal Vein-let me use Buried Alive a turn sooner if I don't get dark ritual
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice and +1s!
