Spirits on Kaalia, Mirror Breaker EDH

matvone,

Agreed the Entomb + Animate Dead () is less mana intensive than the Buried Alive + Reanimate (). It's much higher risk for sure, I thought about just using the Leonin Relic-Warder instead, but the extra mana slowed it down.

Gisela, Blade of Goldnight is a good pull out, along with Avacyn, Angel of Hope were both out from 2020-2024 but I decided to add a combat damage line back in, there both unnecessary angels in here.

Bogardan Hellkite lived in this deck forever, until the Orcish Bowmasters was printed, but it is a great alternative if the focus is the Worldgorger Dragon lines.

Red Dragon does the damage, but it doesn't have Flash so it's not really effective like Orcish Bowmasters or Bogardan Hellkite. Recruiter of the Guard and Imperial Recruiter are also great for finding the Orcish Bowmasters with the combo.

Love Kaalia combo, very cool matvone.

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 () 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.

I'm not sure if I missed something, but I don't think Raven's Crime specifically needs Swamps, you can discard any land to cast it from the graveyard. It's a pretty strong card in a Rack list IMHO, and worth running if you find you draw lands when you'd rather have drawn a Raven's Crime. I think with a deck like yours, where you're at 19 lands and have only 6 3 drops (and an average MV well under 2) you can expect to not need lands after a few turns, so I don't know that you'd need to add more Swamps (or lands in general) to derive value from Raven's Crime.

IMHO there are still certain archetypes that are viable in Legacy that aren't always fast, and Rack is one of them. The existence of Force of Will means people can't design decks that are so greedy that they scoop to a single FoW (or Force of Negation), so grindy decks will have a place. Even if they don't run FoW in their own deck, it's omnipresent enough that we all get herd immunity to a certain level of greed. On the downside it means certain decks will always be kinda good, a timely Thoughtseize can be much better than FoW, and a Rack deck can also throw a Hymn out early; do you FoW the Hymn, or risk it and end up unable to FoW anything and are still down 2 cards? As long as you have enough creature hate I find you can still win games vs aggro (much harder now with The One Ring, but you're VERY well placed vs it with Chains x4) as well, and your ability to lock people out of drawing can give you the time to win.

Ultimately, is it a bad situation when you're using Raven's Crime? Probably, but the alternative is just having to scoop IMHO. That's why I'd probably try it out as a x1 or x2 and see how often it saves your bacon. You can also use Entomb to put Crime straight into the bin, and include a copy of Bloodghast or Nether Spirit if you already drew your Crime. It's the kind of card I think you'd add to give your deck more grindy options when desperate, but IMHO if your combo is set up you don't need Raven's Crime.

My final thought is that with your Dark Confidant you can draw extra lands to feed Raven's Crime, as long as you have access to Black mana, maybe this is where the extra Swamps concern came from? You could always toss in Blood Cryptfoil if you don't want to buy more Badlands, you'd always get the OG dual first, or a Basic if it will work, so you don't notice the Crypt's drawback as much. I feel like if you're hitting the opponent with 1 Crime per turn roughly (counting an extra card from Dark Confidant) you might not need much more support to get your Racks online other than a Chains or two to prevent the opponent from drawing extra cards. YMMV but I think it's worth trying out x1 or x2, as long as you have a couple Racks out it'll be a lot of pressure.

Hope some of this helps!

@legendofa I’m back with some more from a few sets.

•Brilliant Plan

•Dwindle

•Gravewaker

•Reclamation Sage

•Rogue's Gloves

•Transmogrifying Wand

•Silent Dart might qualify. The angle is a bit strange, but technically possible.

•Whispering Snitch

•Carrion Imp could be feasible from that angle.

•Mirror March

•Ragefire

•Tome of the Guildpact

•Buried Alive

•Mystic Retrieval

These I’m not sure about.

•Staunch-Hearted Warrior

•Entomb

•Dawn Charm At first I thought yes, then realized the hand position is opposite what it needs to be. We should see the person to whom those hands belong, yet we don’t. Maybe they’re reaching high into the air or something.

•Gruesome Menagerie I don’t think the zombie’s head is above ground and looking at his hand, I think only the hand burst out.

•Sigiled Sword of Valeron I don’t think it’s from the viewpoint of the guy holding the sword.

•Naturalize same as above.

•Magistrate's Scepter again, same as above.

I forgot to check against your list, so please ignore duplicates.

I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I tried my hand at building my first Pioneer format deck, and ran into a confusing issue. Idk the cardpool so I’ve been relying on various sources to check legality. One app said Cavern of Souls is legal so I added it, but that flagged the deck as Illegal. I checked a different source and it said it was legal, then another said no, and so forth. Do you know for certain whether it’s legal or not?

Hey, Gisa only having one haste source here makes her really slow to get going, if at all. Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Lavaspur Boots, consider maxing out on these haste sources? If you already control one then have more ways to discard away the others Collector's Vault, Putrid Imp?

There's some 2 drop mana rocks/cost reduction you could add to increase ramp Mind Stone/Jet Medallion, but I think you would be better off using these deck spots to improve potential early game reanimation. You have some reanimation, but what I don't see here are effects that can get Zombies into your graveyard to reanimate before you get Gisa as a sac outlet.

Collector's Vault, Diresight, Entomb, Unmarked Grave, Buried Alive, Lively Dirge, Putrid Imp these are spells you could potentially cast long before you control Gisa. Getting some cards into your graveyard a little faster helps Stitch Together's threshold. Can even play more potential early game draw Night's Whisper/Sign in Blood to get more than 7 cards in hand which then you can at your Cleanup step discard down to 7 cards as free discard to setup reanimation. If you're discarding creatures to reanimate then consider increasing lower mana cost reanimation Reanimate, Animate Dead, Persist, Necromancy?

Consider adding an earlier game reanimation plan to get Grave Titan onto the battlefield? Titan being a repeatable Zombie token source can hold down the fort until you get Gisa going. In the meantime, Titan could do damage to opponents. Archon of Cruelty also isn't a Zombie, but is an excellent reanimation target, who if you can control it in the earlier game can give you a huge advantage. When your Commander can create creature tokens and with Grave Titan, Altar of Bhaal is powerful repeatable reanimation when you have creature tokens to exile.

I hope this advice was helpful and if you're interested I offer more advice about what cards to consider cutting.

Demonic Tutor Grim Tutor Vampiric Tutor Mystical Tutor Entomb

Those would be the tutors I recommend.

If you want to stick with the mill theme, i'd recommend going to edhrec.com and putting in Gisa & Geralf as your CMDR and then you can choose the style of deck (Mill, Zombie, etc.) They will give you many more recommendations for the best cards to add. A few that I run with a different mill themed deck are:

Mesmeric Orb Mindcrank Maddening Cacophony

I personally think The Scarab God is a better Commander for a Mill themed deck because his activated ability can pull a creature from anyone's graveyard. So you can mill the crap out of yourself (and others) then pull their best creatures out of their graveyards

I am not saying I dont like her, I havent broken the deck down and she is fun to play every once and a while. I just find that the way i build her focuses on stuff like Buried Alive and Entomb to get those key creatures into my grave and then recurr them a ton.

Yours is slightly different (better) than mine, I basically only have her doing damage, no other Cutthroat types, which is probably part of my problem, lol

I am suprised that you dont have Plague of Vermin its a wincon with her on the board. Is high CMC, but I have won games with it.
