Vizier of the Anointed

You should add more lands and more mana ramp. Your average CMC is over 4 and you only have 34 lands and 4-ish mana ramp cards. There are also some cards that don't make a ton of sense in here as they don't make tokens or don't synergize with them. Cards like Brago, King Eternal, Ixidron, Always Watching and kinda Blade of Selves and Ephara, God of the Polis don't seem to do much. I suppose Ephara draws you cards on your opponent's turn and could draw you some extra cards if you play an instant copy spell so she's alright. Blade of Selves doesn't make sense to me because the tokens don't stay around. I see a few decent ETB effects on creatures in the list but I honestly think Helm of the Host would be a better card in here. The helm makes tokens that stick and you could equip it to Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun to make multiple things unblockable each combat.

Also there seems to be a split between whether this deck wants to be a go big tokens deck or a go wide tokens deck. I suppose you can have both, but I would definitely lean towards going big and cut one of the two mono-white gods (probably Oketra). With that in mind I would look to add some Eternalize cards. Adorned Pouncer seems really good in here, as does Champion of Wits, Sinuous Striker, and Sunscourge Champion. Vizier of the Anointed would also be a card to consider if you add in some of the Eternalize cards. I would cut some of the less good go-wide cards for them.

Also adding in some card draw could be a good idea. You're pretty low on it right now.

So in sum, cut cards that don't make sense with the deck, add in more lands, ramp, and card draw, and maybe look into eternalizing some stuff.

Thanks purplesandpaper - I definitely meant Vizier of the Anointed. Sorry about that, I'll be more careful in the future :)

legendofa on Sultai Reanimator options for grave …

So I've been kicking around the idea of making a semi-competitive Reanimator deck in . I'm looking for cards that can dump specific creatures from deck to graveyard. I know about Dredge (come back soon, Golgari Grave-Troll!), but I want something a little less indiscriminate.

Jarad's Orders: Toss big scary creature, pull up The Scarab God or Doomed Necromancer or whatever.

Gifts Ungiven: Similar to Jarad's Orders, giving up precision for redundancy.

Corpse Connoisseur: Unearth is good with Dredge, but expensive for the effect.

Vizier of the Anointed and Iname, Death Aspect are both too restrictive.

Is there another way to do this quickly and effectively?

i used Anointed Procession in my B/W tokens deck to double up as well. i think its good once its on the board, but getting it there is a little harder, as it doesnt actually do anything when you cast it. thats the one big drawback to the card.

i think if you have a few more embalm effects in the deck it would work nicely as you can follow up AP with an embalm. as it is now i dont think you have enough instant follow-ups to make AP viable. The Scarab God doesn't give you tokens instantly. you have to play it, then pay 4 CMC more to get a token, and only if you managed to kill something or get something killed, with which AP doesnt help you to do.

AP synergyzes great with liliana, death's majesty and Champion of Wits however.

I just looked over your deck again and found a little fart in your synergy. Glint-Sleeve Siphoner, Champion of Wits and razaketh, the foulblooded all draw you cards, while Dread Wanderer only gets brought back from the graveyard if you dont have cards. they contradict one another, and as such i think you need to replace the wanderer with something else...maybe that embalm/eternalize effect that would make AP more desirable huh?

completing the playset of Champion of Wits could be a good idea, and Vizier of Many Faces could work as well. Vizier of the Anointed could work if you go heavier into embalm/eternalize, and if you are going to splash , there are quite a few embalm creatures out there. Aven Wind Guide, Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun, Adorned Pouncer,Sunscourge Champion, Sacred Cat and Proven Combatant all come to mind.

Basically, for Anointed Procession to work optimally, you will probably need to focus on token reanimation and not just creature reanimation, so you will go heavy into embalm/eternalize. you will probably have to fix your manna to play a fair share of and as well. this will require building a completely different variation of this deck, which can be good or not, thats up to you and lots of playtesting. As it is now however, id say either rebuild the deck with Anointed Procession in mind, and going heavy on embalm/eternalize, or leave it as it is and forget about AP.

Is it really worth splashing black and going four colours for The Scarab God? I'd add Strategic Planning because it helps grab vital cards (especially if your in four colours) and dumps any leftovers into your grave where you can embalm/eternalize them. I'm not sure what Vizier of Many Faces is meant to copy since everything else in the deck is either legendary or not really worth copying for four mana. Vizier of the Anointed and Embalmer's Tools could be quite useful in this sort of deck and i'd look at adding in some curve toppers like Glyph Keeper or Angel of Sanctions to fetch and ramp into. (You could probably remove green as well which would make the deck cheaper and more consistent.)

Fair point. I was mainly thinking for semi-competitve Standard play. Vizier of the Anointed still seems a little weak, though, so I'd at least recommend cutting a couple. Whatever floats your boat, though :)
