Deck Help forum

okay so im working on building a reanimtor for legacy right now it solid black but i am considering adding blue but my biggest problem is that i cant afford a playset of force of will right now so is there any other comparable cards that i could get cheaper until i can get force of will and heres wat i got so far not-like-fing-graveborn

The reason Forces are so expensive is because they're the only card that fills its niche so well.
You could run Spell Pierce for a 1-drop counter or Pact of Negation if you can win immediately/pay the cost later.

Misdirection is helpful sometimes, but I don't know the price off the top of my head. There isn't really anything that fills quite the same role as force of will though.

ya i know about dash hopes but ive found players can and will pay five life and the issue with foil a black blue reanimator only has 2 islands in it and dual fecth lands seeing how the deck relys mainly on black idk maybe just keep it black until i can get force of wills and add dash hoes but the issue i see with dash hopes is whats five life for a Tormod's Crypt or any other flavor of grave hate which is what the counter is for

The issue with mono-black and adding Force of Will is "You may pay 1 life and remove a blue card in your hand from the game rather than pay Force of Will's mana cost" you'll need too much blue to make it work. Dash Hopes with Drain Lifes is great for a black deck: deck:marit-lage-unleashed

Dash hopes just isn't what you need in a reanimator deck. Your goal is to quickly go off and reanimate a creature, and they have no problem just paying life to stop you from getting out a creature that will kill them. Honestly, it isn't worth it in your deck.

@ burkek the dash hopes would be to counter their spells like grave hate which agreed as is said the same theyll pay the life
@ minousmancer i would add blue dual lands fecth lands and Daze, Spell Pierce, Show and Tell the force of will is just the most expensive card to get as i have some of them, and can get the ones i dont realitively cheap except force of will and theres no point in adding blue without it from wat i see
so do you guys think it can run okay just black i know its faster but does it winn

the main reason i ask is i have many of the cards but the ones i dont are EXPENSIVE so i dont want to spend the money and it not work although i think it be good cuh only 1 person where i play has a reanimator that ive seen and it is black/blue and he wins pretty much everytime he top 4s can i do that with straight black using obilerators and thought seize duress as a way to counter the grave hate
