Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

An idea I had that is a twist on the graveborn deck.

Any suggestions to make this better would be awesome.

Deck discussion for From the Grave!

i love akroma myself, though i assume there was a reason they didnt put her but the sphinx into graveborn: akroma cant be ressurected with animate dead :(
also, i never understood what people see in dread return. 4 mana is quite expensive and sacrificing 3 creatures in a reanimation deck is hilariously expensive... hence i'd rather add 2 exhume for 2 dread return.

Can't I use sheoldred's effect to do it? And this is my first shot at a reanimate deck. So if you have suggestions for a replacement for dread return, it'd be appreciated.

sure you can reanimate Akroma with Sheoldred, Reanimate, Dread Return and Exhume - just not with Animate Dead or any other entchantments (such as Dance of the Dead, Necromancy or Diabolic Servitude)
as i said,i would add 2 more Exhume for 2 Dread Return and probably 2 Victimize for the other two as Putird Imps are always a welcome target for Victimize as soon as they've done their job and furthermore you never need more than one of them out on the battlefield

Does Akroma protect itself even in the graveyard? The enchantment I doubt but other things I believe can bring her back. Never bothered to look into it. Why not add Reya Dawnbringer? She could bring back Akroma if the black cards can't.

instants and sorceries work as she doesnt have protection in other zones than the battlefield. however, the protection will remove the enchantment and thereby directly killing her if she was reanimated with animate dead (or similar enchantments). i've only mentioned it because of the 4 animate dead in here - 4 out of 14 reanimator spells that wont work on her

I thought the enchantment would collapse once she hit the field, but besides that thanks for shedding light on the graveyard thing. I wasn't positive as no one really plays that kind of deck in the small group I play with.
