My attempt at my favorite card from Throne of Eldraine. Syr Konrad takes advantage of anything going to the grave and your stuff leaving the grave. It's a bold new twist on the classic reanimator style.

Lines of play:

First let's look at synergy with Syr Konrad. Mesmeric Orb Mills with each permenant that a player untaps. Since we play with our grave, this doesn't hurt us as much as it hurts our opponents. Combine this with Mindcrank and it's all up to chance that your opponents don't mill a creature, because if they do, the cycle repeats.

Mike trike has always been a reanimator staple and is tried and true.

Having Necrotic Ooze on the field with walking ballista/triskellion and phyrexian devourer almost always kills a table

Altar of Dementia is a failsafe in this deck, if you see a boardwipe coming then sac all your creatures to mill your opponents and watch Syr Konrad ping them into the ground.

With us reanimating so many things, Syr Konrad will blast anyone whenever you use a reanimation effect.

Admittedly, Damnation could be swapped out for Living Death and that would probably benefit Syr Konrad more.

Using reanimate or phyrexian delver to get back Vilis results in a ton of card draw and you're gonna need it.

I hope you liked my Syr Konrad primer and maybe it'll inspire more decks for this awesome commander
