Hello all!

This is the current build of my Gyrus, Waker of Corpses deck. Gyrus allows you to build such a toolbox deck that getting it down to a solid 100 cards, saying it's done, and never touching it again is near impossible. You can always find space for some hate card, or specific removal, or just something that fits in against your meta. I'm not even 100 percent happy with how I have the deck now, but it seems to at least be working. I've considered building in a group discard package to slow my opponents down while also filling my own graveyard, but just haven't had the time to play around with it.

The thing I find most surprising about playing this deck is how little you care about Gyrus being removed. Heck, you almost want it to die just so you can play it bigger than before. It's versatility is so great! Play it on turn 3 as a 3/3 if you have some ramp or something spicy to reanimate, or wait until you have 9 mana and a haste enabler and just start smashing people. I think a part of my success with this deck so far is that people don't see Gyrus for the threat that it is, they still underestimate it which lets me slide under the radar until it's too late.

Anyway, enjoy!
