Golgari fatties for reanimator?
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Nov. 30, 2013, 8:50 a.m. by TexasDice
Any must have creatures from cmc 7 and higher? (Everything below; Lord of Extinction, Mikaeus... etc. is already covered.)
I'm currently using Avatar of Woe , Verdant Force , Terastodon , Sepulchral Primordial , Sylvan Primordial , Lord of the Void and Abhorrent Overlord .
Sisters of Stone Death turned out too clunky, I don't like them.
Cards that are already noted: Sheoldred, Whispering One , Woodfall Primus , Chancellor of the Dross and Baleful Force
Is there anything else, besides Eldrazi?

I definitely suggest Doomgape , Worldspine Wurm , Khalni Hydra , like you said the Eldrazi are recommended, Pelakka Wurm is handy too....I should mention though, that if you're playing with Varolz, the Scar-Striped then "fatties" like Nyxathid , Death's Shadow and Phyrexian Dreadnought are must-haves, because their scavenge cost to counters ratio is just ridiculous.

Worldspine Wurm and Eldrazi can be reanimated, but only at instant speed.

Um, why shouldn't I be able to reanimate Ulamog's Crusher or it that Betrays? There are other Eldrazi besides the big three...
@DaShPrime: I know how gatherer works, but Reiver Demon and the Myojin are horrible Reanimator targets. I'm asking for the best and most useful, not anything with cmc 7 or higher.
@VaultTechy: I play Jarad Commander, I'm not that much into Scavage.

Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger is a show-stopper. Kalonian Behemoth is big, Liege of the Tangle , Moldgraf Monstrosity , Thorn Elemental , Gaea's Revenge etc
Gleancrawler can be handy, Brutalizer Exarch as well.
vorinclex is the only "must have", but the rest are pretty mean if you play them for way less than their cmc
just make sure you're using cards like Explosive Vegetation and Skyshroud Claim in case you have to hard-cast these baddies

Why didn't I thought about Vorinclex? Naturally included.
I've never heard about Kalonian Behemoth before. Seems okay to use, a "worse" Inkwell Leviathan, but I don't have to go into another color.
Moldgraf Monstrosity is nuts, holy crap, that thing goes right in.
I'm not sure how to feel about the other ones though. Thorn Elemental is a bit underwhelming, Reveange only has 5 Thoughness and Liege of the Tangle makes my lands really vunerable against board wipes.
Gleancrawler... On the one hand, it could sabotage my sac outlets, but on the other hand, I get a lot of value for something I can basically always play on turn 6... I might give it a try. Brutalizer is already in here, what an awesome card.
Don't worry about mana, I've got that covered. Thanks a lot Ninja, that was really helpful.

no problem buddy. i have a Sapling of Colfenor edh deck, and it's all about mana acceleration and fatties. she is insane with Well of Lost Dreams
two more great cards i just thought of are Rune-Scarred Demon and Lord of the Void

With Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord as my Commander, I try to keep my spells on creature bodies, like Nekrataal and Acidic Slime. That also works greatly with Genesis . So Rune-Scarred Demon is exactly what I am looking for.
Shesh, that'll be another expensive shopping trip...

Note when looking for a good reanimator target not only do you want a beatstick but also something that has a EBT to maybe stunt ypur opponent! I really like Craterhoof Behemoth for this reason!

Playing Jarad eh? I shall throw out my suggestion for Phyrexian Devourer as it can end a game really quickly. (My other two considerations are Wall of Blood and Phyrexian Dreadnought as they can deal a substantial amount of damage for a very low mana cost with Jarad's ability.)

Frucht des Todes is now online for the puplic. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/frucht-des-todes/I'll finish the description up soon, but don't have the time right now.
A few things have changed during the playtests and since I made this topic. The fatties I chose are the following:
Avatar of Woe : She big, she's mean and she's good at killing things. Hardcasting is no problem in the lategame.
Baleful Force : Extroverted Phyrexian Arena. Gotta love it on turn 2 or one. Be sure to sacrifce it as soon as you need to though. And never play it against Nekusar the mindrazer, you'll choke on your Greed.
Chancellor of the Dross : This dood is the only avaible lifelink fatty that's worth reanimating. Evasion, Lifelink and possible Grouphugging.
Gaea's Revenge : Took a dear note of you, Patrique! Difficult to remove, fast and strong. Chosen over Craterhoof Behemoth for wallet reasons.
Kalonian Behemoth : Removal heavy matchups stand no real chance against it. Chosen over plated Slagwurm, because I don't get any benefit out of Hexproof over Shroud.
Rune-Scarred Demon : Tutors for anything you could ever want. Mostly for another Reanimation spell. Evasion and profile is also nice.
Sepulchral Primordial and Sylvan Primordial : If you're playing against multiple opponents, do never leave your house without these guys. Welcome in value town.
Sheoldred, Whispering One
: Reanimation and control card, all in one. If unanswered, the next untap step becomes deadly.
Terastodon : Almost every deck won't stand a chance if you blow up three lands during the first four til five turn. Relevant body.
Verdant Force : To fight token swarms, you need to have your own token swarms. Also, Skullclamp fodder.
Woodfall Primus : "Destroy target noncreature permanent and be a total pain in the butt." Awfully devastating with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed .

if you are running acidic slime, or lots of ETB creatures...Conjurer's Closet is great for more stupidity

You can't reanimate Eldrazi.
There are tons of fatties in Golgari colours, notable ones would include:
Worldspine Wurm , Kokusho, the Evening Star , Reiver Demon , Pestilence Demon (Any Demon, actually), Craterhoof Behemoth , Engulfing Slagwurm , Myojin of Life's Web , Spearbreaker Behemoth , Hydra Omnivore (for EDH), Avenger of Zendikar .
The list goes on, all you need to do is enter a search in Gatherer.
