Deck Description

I like milling my opponent. I get to peek at what they're hiding in their library and, if I'm lucky, they'll mill their win condition card(s).
--
Mill opponent, Reanimate, Repeat.

How to Play

- Get creatures into your opponents graveyard using any means possible.
- Peg them with Siren of the Silent Song while you wait for the perfect candidate for reanimation.
- Bestow Nighthowler onto the Siren if possible.

Deck discussion for Dimir Reanimation Mill

Just wanted to comment on how much I like Dakura Mystic in this deck because it combines scry, mill and card draw into one ability; plus, it affects your opponent!

If you swap despise for thoughtsieze then the deck will become standard and will also be able to snag any card in their hand, save for lands

Despise is being reprinted in Khans of Tarkir; this should be standard in one or two more weeks. Plus, Thoughtseize can only target nonland cards.

Even with that stipulation, it could be a good sideboard card for this deck since I can target a creature i want to reanimate or any noncreature spell which might prevent me from doing something advantageous. I was hesitant to include it at first because only because it's so expensive and in-demand. :D

yes i know that thoughtsieze only targets nonlands. that means the only cards it CANT touch are lands. failing to see how limiting yourself to only creatures and PWs makes despise better...

as for the pricing and demand, yeah it always sucks trying to get the good cards

Oh ok, I misunderstood. I chose despise because it is not only significantly cheaper but I hope to reanimate my opponent's best creature(s). I'm particularly excited about stealing a Goblin Rabblemaster. :D

Judging from the FNMs I've played thus far, there will be plenty of creatures to go around. I'm still unsure about it's reliability in the long term, though.

Also, I'm planning to use despise to trigger Nighthowler and Profane Memento.
