BR Discard and Reanimation deck using the Rakdos-colored version of Chainer! I've had a lot of fun building and piloting a Mono-Black Chainer list so I'm excited to see what this new iteration of Chainer will bring.

Sort by the 'Custom' category (where it normally says 'Type') in case you're interested in seeing a rough breakdown on the main role each card plays within the deck. Enjoy!

The main goal of this deck is simple: discard creatures to reanimate them for both value and board presence. The primary game plan is to resolve a mass-reanimation spell and swing in with a hasty board using Living Death or Balthor the Defiled. Secondary win conditions focus on causing direct life loss/damage: Gray Merchant of Asphodel rewards extending onto the board, Terror of the Peaks damages opponents as those threats are summoned, and Kokusho, the Evening Star functions well without requiring much setup. The final theme of the deck involves cheating out hasty creatures with Sneak Attack, or with other pieces that synergize with Chainer's haste-granting ability such as Bolas's CitadelGC, Jeska's WillGC, and Inti, Seneschal of the Sun. Stinkweed Imp, Altar of Dementia, and several Wheel effects fuel the graveyard quickly, while Squee, Goblin Nabob and Containment Construct help alleviate Chainer's discard requirements.
