Closest I could get to living end lol. Not a fan of the living end lists I've seen in the format. Cascading into Exhume just seems meh lol. Honestly I'm just tinkering around with pauper right now. The format is so interesting to build in at the moment for me.

So basically cycle and discard to fill the yard. Exhume big beaters back. You can Faerie Macabre away creatures from your opponents graveyard you don't want them getting out. Or you can use Dark Ritual to help cheat out the big butts.

Lemme know what ya think lol. I wanna playtest it soon. I'm kinda digging it.

The sideboard is under construction lol. Well the whole deck is still under construction actually lol.

Also, if there's anything beneficial to do to the mana base lemme know.

Thanks!

So the deck is obviously a cycle/reanimator deck with some other ways to cheat in the big butts. But just calling it Cycling Reanimator hurts my soul lol. So I've opted to call it Grift!

Grift is an archetype I'm coining that is similar to Scam in that it cheats mana costs on impactful creatures. Though it's not quite a scam deck in that it's abusing etbs or elementals exactly. So I wanted something more fine tuned to what I'm doing, and it's not just a reanimator deck. So Grift it is! Lmao.
