Deck Description

This deck relies pretty heavily on reanimating big creatures in lieu of paying a large casting cost.

Big creatures with Annihilator 2. The point is to lock your opponent out of the game by forcing them to exile everything they have on the battlefield.

It's mostly just fun to draw dark ritual, buried alive and animate dead in your opening hand.

How to Play

Bane of Bala Ged is a 10 cent card, but when it's on the battlefield your second turn, it's priceless.

The name of the game is dumping big Eldrazi creatures into your graveyard and using reanimate spells to side step their casting cost. They have annihilator 2 and/or an ability that's a little better than annihilator 2. You get 2 or 3 of them out, and you force your opponent to exile everything on the battlefield.

There are 3 ways to get them into your graveyard:

-1- Just don't play cards and force yourself to discard the cards in your hand.
-2- Buried Alive.
-3- Mire's Toll.

Dimir Machinations is to transmute for either Victimize, Buried Alive, or Vampire Dogs. No sense using diabolic tutor when all you'd need is a 3-drop. Vampiric Tutor is better, but I mostly play casually.


T1: Play Mire's Toll. Show Bane of Bala Ged and discard it.
T2: Play Dark Ritual, Thrull Parasite and Soul Exchange. Put Bane of Bala Ged into the battlefield with +2/+2.
T3: Attack. Your opponent exiles 2 permanents.
