• Introduction:

There is a way back... But will you pay the price?. And when you are able to use this way over and over, what will the difference between death and life?

• The deck:

This deck exploits to a maxing the recurring ability Shirei has implanted on her. We want our creatures to constantly die and come back, for our own enjoyement and profit: all our creature will either do something when entering the battlefield or do something when they sacrifice theirselves or die.

• Why is Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker the commander?

She would be the only one capable of supporting such a theme of mass sacrifice and mass reanime over and over again. All the creatures we want to come back have to have at most 1 power so the deck behaves very differently from the typical swarm token like/aristrocat deck.

• The deck's weaknesses:

We Heavily rely on our commander to play the deck. And she is not exactly cheap, nor we are on ramping colours. That means that if we lose control over her, we are most likely doomed too. We also make very little damage per turn, your strenght resides in the ability to repeat such damage each and every turn over and over. That means we are not very powerful versus combo decks or very tempo heavy decks.

• The deck's strenghts:

We are quite powerful against aggro decks thanks to our wide array of ressurecting blockers, and other midrange decks will fall behind us on the value train quite often. To offset the possiblity of losing shirei forever due to commander tax, we do have enchantments that provide regeneration and the like. To prevent mind control, we do also have sacrifice outlets, so it we are to lose shirei at least it can return to the command zone instead of giving her to another player.
