When this enters the battlefield, up to one target player puts all the cards from their graveyard on the bottom of their library in a random order.

Evoke—Exile a green card from your hand. (You may cast this for its evoke cost instead of paying its mana cost. If you do, this is sacrificed when this enters the battlefield.)

Andramalech on Uncouterable Reanimator

Sliverguy420 didn't mention any removal despite saying you needed some- I recommend you include Unholy Heat, or potentially something like Krosan Grip so that you can stop the chaining decks like Storm from piling over you. Things like Force of Vigor help you for casting-for-free, and helping prioritize other slots of the deck. I don't know what budget you have at your disposal, but in terms of reanimating, I recommend you use a Sultai ({U}{B}{G}) shell to get the most out of your reanimating potential. Reanimate,Entomb,Animate Dead,Victimize are all considerable options for the prospect of bringing stuff back from the grave.

Don't forget that Graveyards are super easy to target, and having slots for your sideboard to counteract Graveyard removal are super important. Endurance would be a perfect inclusion for that role. Other cards that may help are Feldon's Cane, and Gaea's Blessing.

Best of luck with your deckbuilding, and don't forget that Life from the Loam also exists to help you snatch lands for casting on curve, while also filling your graveyard in order to have more reanimation targets.

capwner Mana Echoes is a great suggestion!! Definitely will be adding that, as for decking myself i havent had any problems so far, but Endurance seems like a safe bet! And yeah ive definitely thought about Purphoros, God of the Forge as well, but i think my pod might kill me IRL if he hits the board XD Thanks for the comment! :D

Mana Echoes can make a ton of mana and deck everyone if you chain Prosperity effects. And maybe consider Elfhame Sanctuary or a Words card like Words of Wind to protect yourself from decking. Endurance also works here to a lesser extent

Big fat creatures

Removal:

World Breaker (exile removal + flying blocker + graveyard recursion)

Woodfall Primus

The Tarrasque (big haste + ward + fight)

Endurance (een van de beste artefact / enchantment removal en is een creature (kan voor 0 mana spelen))

Enabler:

Thunderfoot Baloth (trample en +2/+2)

Dawnglade Regent (Monarch en hexproof)

Cultivator Colossus (ramp + card draw)

Seedborn Muse (Untap)

Pathbreaker Ibex (budget craterhoof)

Aggressive Mammoth (trample)

Bellowing Tanglewurm (intimidate voor alles (vervelende ability om te blocken))

Bramble Sovereign (mana sink, dubbel creatures, vgm speel je bijna geen legendary creatures dus dit past best goed!!)

card draw / advantage:

Return of the Wildspeaker (dit zou een no brainer moeten zijn, of +3/+3 of draw een miljoen kaarten op instant speed)

Cream of the Crop (setup)

Graveyard recursion:

Moldgraf Monstrosity (graveyard to battlefield)

Devotion

Primalcrux

Wincon

Tyrranax Rex

Apex Devastator

Hexdrinker (early game en mana sink, met genoeg levels is die unkillable en kan niet worden geblocked)

Carnage Tyrant

Endurance fills that role, if you run anything below 3 CMC there is a chance the Cascade will hit it instead of Living End

Bookrook I just meant any dual land of choice, shocks probably work best also to speed up the game since you'll need a lot of attacks with Slitherhead. The new ping lands could also work but they're slow. A new suggestion is if you want the effect of Endurance, run Blessed Respite instead. It's a fog that has the shuffle graveyard into library stapled on. Just because a 3 mana 3/4 could really quickly change the pace of the game. For Thoughtseize I'd suggest cutting at least one Life from the Loam because they probably won't see a lot of use with reshuffling the graveyard into the library and they can be cast effectively from the graveyard anyways. Maybe one Set Adrift also. I think it can clear too many cards out of the graveyard. It also has very little upside in its actual effect since its a sorcery and your opponent is just going to redraw that same card as soon as you pass the turn. The effect would be more interesting gameplay wise on an instant to set up your own draw. Codex Shredder feels a bit too slow especially with so few ways to set up draws that the instant speed mill doesn't have use other than filling the graveyard which other cards in the deck do better. If you want to up the complexity and interaction, add in some card draw, so players aren't sitting with empty hands in what is going to be a very slow game as well as add in card selection with Ponder and Brainstorm (which would be incredibly powerful considering since it lets you basically choose what your opponent will draw and what you will draw next turn at instant speed). If you do this keep the Codex Shredder at 4 copies, cut the Set Adrift altogether or replace it with an instant of the same effect, and maybe consider Clear the Mind instead of adding Blessed Respite. Also I believe traditional Dandan is run at 80 cards so bringing this list up to 80 would be super fine if you add in card draw and card selection. That being said it would really up the blue presence in the deck making lands a bit trickier :>

Grief is the best turn 1 scam by far, in a tempo deck where play patterns matter. Fury was good because it had a pretty open window for targeting, and Solitude is kind of in the same boat. Fury's advantage there was that it could clear out a mid-sized target or a swarm of small targets, while Solitude removes one target, take it or leave it. Subtlety is fine, but highly reactive and has a narrow window of utility. Endurance has higher deck building requirements to make its (optional) ability relevant--a flashed-in 4/5 reach creature for {B} and a couple cards in hand is solid in a vacuum, but it's not on the same level as the other options.

I'm wondering if Esper Scam is a viable option. Lean harder into control, the {W} and {B} can be simply flash-evoked and sac'ed if needed (they're still free removal and pseudo-counterspells), and fill in with some of the go-to control cards. The color balancing would be a little harder to work with, but not impossible.

First pass, off the top of my head with minimal consideration:

23 lands

Scam set: 4x Grief, 2x Solitude, 2x Subtlety, 4x Not Dead After All, 1x Undying Evil, 4x Ephemerate

Control: 3x Teferi, Time Raveler, 3x Counterspell, 4x Thoughtseize, 4 Leyline Binding, 4x The One Ring

Finishers: 4x Orcish Bowmasters

Basically, take the Dimir and Orzhov Scam lists and add some of https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/wu-68d6e340-6601-4aab-9a70-4bdccc013e7e#paper.

So far the post-fury scam decks seem To consist of:

• {R}{B} scam between 2.0 to 6.5% of the meta, still trying to do the same stuff (copium?) but still showing decent results.

• {W}{B} scam between 1.0 to 2.5% of the meta, looking very identical to the OG MH2 stoneforge-scam lists (but with Bowmasters). Based on the decks inability to get a higher meta share i’m assuming it’s either a nightmare to pilot, or has the sane issues the first iteration of this deck had.

• mono-{B} scam at 0.4% of the meta. I assume this would have a higher percentage playrate if mono-black coffers wasn’t just a better deck.

• {U}{B} scam at 0.3% of the meta. Looks like it’s just 3-4 people desperately trying to make the brew work.

• {G}{B} scam also at 0.3% of the meta. I have no idea why you’d want to scam an Endurance but again 3-4 people seem to be trying to get the list working. The list actually looks surprisingly viable.
