Buried alive

by nilleh on 12 November 2015

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (63 cards)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

A reanimate deck. No actual reanimate spells though, only exhume and animate dead. Worldgorger dragon is in it for the infinite combo.

Is Worldgorger Dragon really banned in legacy like it says on this site?

How to Play

Get creatures in your graveyard by casting Entomb or Buried alive. If you have them in your hand use Careful Study, Hapless Researcher, or Foil to discard them and get what you need.
Resurrect and win.
Dark ritual helps to cast the res-spells early. Use counterspells to protect the fatties once you get them out.

Deck discussion for Buried alive

No Worldgorger was unbanned when Wotc banned Treasure Cruise back in January.
I understand the combo but how does this deck not force a draw do to it. Adding a x burn spell like Banefire. You would also need to add a red mana source for this to be viable.

There's Consume Spirit...all but 1 mana spent on it has to be B, but once you start the loop, that won't matter. I also like MM's suggestion, particularly as it's one I haven't heard before...or am I just outside of the loop? (insert groan) :)

Consume spirit is sorcery and all black.. Stroke of genius is propably the best spell as of now. There are some creatures that does this but it's a hazzle getting them out first. Blue sun's zenith works just as well.

I just realized I was wrong, You must use a Instant speed x spell since the infinite loop on turn two would not be able to be stopped unless you were interrupting a part of the loop while it was on the stack. So Stroke of Genius or Volcanic Geyser is your best bet. or wait and loop while another creature is in the graveyard.

THAT'S what I forgot to mention...targeting another creature in your GY to break the loop. But given there's only 7 creatures in this deck, using an instant in this case is probably a better bet...Comet Storm also works, but lacking R, your suggestion of Stroke of Genius would still get my vote. (Sorry about the deletions...I screwed-up when editing.)
