Trying my hand at a non-traditional lovecraftian deck. This one's more leaning towards the dreamlands stuff with a reanimator at the helm... like a cross between Herbert West and Charles Dexter Ward. The rest of the deck is based around prominent themes in all his stories and not just big stompy Cthulhu monsters (though I did include some for good measure).

The premise is to get Ludevic out early, mill some unblockable creatures, and swing big without worrying about him being blocked. Most of the other cards help support that theme, while still being thematically on-brand.
