Best Modern Reanimator targets
Modern forum
Posted on Nov. 27, 2013, 4:23 p.m. by megawurmple
I want to build Junk reanimator as my next Modern build, but I need your help. What are the best creatures to reanimate in Modern? I'm thinking Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Griselbrand would be good choices, but I obviously need more.
Thanks in advance.

my tops would be Terastodon Ashen Rider Iona, Shield of Emeria and Griselbrand for those colors.

What about the tutor demon? Don't remember his name.

I've seen people playing the type of deck you're talking about with Borborygmos Enraged and it was surprisingly effective. But Ashen Rider or Avacyn, Angel of Hope are my 2 suggestions

@Didgeridooda, are you talking about Rune-Scarred Demon ? i wouldn't run that one since it doesn't do enough in a format like modern when you have four ofs.

A while ago there was a Modern Reanimator deck that ran Necrotic Ooze , Griselbrand and Borborygmos Enraged . That approach gives you the option of reanimating one of your big guys or just playing Necrotic Ooze and achieving almost the same thing.

Just wondering, why isn't Emrakul, the Aeons Torn being suggested? Wouldn't that be the best target?

crystalizeq Look at the last block of text on Emrakul, the Aeons Torn . Makes it kind of hard to reanimate it. Now it is a trigger unlike say Progenitus 's replacement effect, but you'd have to be able to reanimate at instant speed.

Goryo's Vengeance is the best way to reanimate Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , and it was played for a while in Modern. Through the Breach isn't reanimation, but it's also good.

Slycne Oh haha, I didn't even see that. Thanks for clarifying.

I agree with the suggestions so far, so I'll add one of my own: Sylvan Primordial . Blowing up a planeswalker, a land early on, or problematic artifacts/enchantments can be devastating if cheated into play. Although, Ashen Rider probably does more, but the extra bump in land can lead to some interesting plays.

What else is being used to reanimate targets in modern aside from Goryo's Vengeance , Whip of Erebos , and Unburial Rites ? Grisel cannon is probably the most potent imo. I just dont see any other reanimators being competitive enough. Goryo's Vengeance is probably the best spell for it, but using it for Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite might not seal the deal for the win
