It's good so far but you need counter spells like forse of will and daze. It will help a lot
Putrid Imp for quick discard
i could possibly and maybe take out 2 buried alives for them or i could do a few Hapless Researcher's instead of the imp, what do you think of that?
With the lack of fetches, I would play Ponder over Brainstorm.
thanks for the comment dude.but good point, i overlooked its shuffle ability, so i think ill try it out and see how it works.
Are you sure you want to only rely on super heavy creatures and reanimaton? Don't get me wrong I love reanimator. I'm working on a mono black one if you have any ideas for it Id love to hear them. http://www.mtgvault.com/stylee19/decks/best-reanimator-help-me/Though I guess if all your running is reanimation spells you could ignore my concern. I just like to run a couple early game interference moves. Like Bloodghast or nether traitor. Then I also don't see the appeal of Griselband. I know he helps with draw power, but it costs life. Sure he has life link to recover it but what if your opponent has flyers or creature removal. I for one prefer Lord of the Void. But that my be a matter of tastes. I like to reanimate my opponents creatures from the grave and he helps me do that.
This is a well-established deck in legacy, and Griselbrand is without a doubt the best creature in the deck. In fact, I would drop Sheoldred and Akroma for two more copies of Griselbrand.
Okay so what am not seeing with Griselbrand? I just don't get it. Is it the draw power?
Yes. When a card says "Reasonable cost, DRAW SEVEN CARDS" it is very, very good. Play a few games with it, card draw like that is crazy powerful.
Plus, it's almost free if it deals damage.
^^^ like ^^^
Almost too classic combo.
Akroma has Protection from Black though. Which means she can't be the target of black spells. So you can't use Reanimate or the like on her. Right?
No, Akroma can definitely be targeted. See 4th post in the link below.http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=50686
you are correct undead, once its in the grave yard you can target it and abilities are pointless unless it said it had a active graveyard affect while its there kinda like brawn or filth.
Akroma, Angel of Wrath has protection from black it can't be targeted by black spells, sorry. heres mine http://www.mtgvault.com/ardendean/decks/grave-digger/
You should perhaps read the comments above?Protection abilities, and several other abiilities, does not have function in the graveyard. It has something to do with state-based effects, and zones and phases and yadda yadda. Basically, toss Reanimate or Dread Return on her, and she comes back, and then there's no more to it. If you do Animate Dead on her, the spell can't target her once she's up, but it's already taken her to the battlefield, so it doesn't matter. Or something along those lines.
Something new everyday; but I wouldn't play her to avoid the argument.
I would like to suggest It That Betrays as a reanimator target over Empyrial Archangel. The archangel is cute, trying to protect yourself, but the complete shut down offered by It That Betrays is just better.If you combo out on your first turn, with a ritual => buried alive => exhume, if you get the eldrazi your opponent will usually never have more than 3 mana, and thats only if they went first and played a one drop and two drop. It is a must answer, and an 11 to boot. Plus you get whatever they sacrifice.However, if you have the Archangel for its shroudiness, then there are still better options. Plated Slagwurm and Kalonian Behemoth are both massive opponent's-spell-proof things, but the best option is Inkwell Leviathan, with islandwalk for counterspell decks and trample for weenies in addition to shroud, plus it is a 7/11.This is a very long comment for one card, but in a deck like this your targets are important. This is a very good deck, a very classic deck, and a very powerful deck. I hope this comment helps!
well why i like emptrial better is it has fly also, whereas plated and kalonian have only shroud and no trample or something of the sort. but inkwell is a definite possibility.while it that betrays can be powerful, im not a huge fan of eldrazi unless its kolziake or or rarely emrukal.
A card that would work very nicely in this deck is Goryo's Vengeance, instant speed reanimation. You can even reanimate creatures that go from the grave straight to your deck because this will go on the stack before there ability trigger. So you could possibly reanimate Emrakul for a sudden 15 damage annihilation.
True, I also like the idea of having it in here. Would be epic combined with Nicol Bolas (not the plainswalker).Dark Ritual into Entomb and Goryo's Vengeance. Opponent discards his whole hand first turn if this goes off.Holy crap I just saw that Nicol Bolas has been reprinted in Time Spiral so it's also Modern legal.
shallow grave is just like vengeance, but you would mostlickly have to build the deck around those to cards and something like griselbrand, emrukel, or world spine for the creatures. other wise it would be a great idea also. this is a link to a goryo's vengence theamed deck i built a while back to see how it would work if at all.http://www.mtgvault.com/forza215/decks/show-and-vengeance-reanimator/
I feel like Platinum Angel would be fun here lol.
It would be fun, yes. But with Legacy it's surprisingly easy to get rid of.
Fair enough!
With these guys he has already as his reanimation targets, either already have an ability as they enter, ie Iona and Elesh, Griselbrand can be brought in and killed off, but still let you draw cards quickly to lead into another Reanimation. And the rest have protection of various kinds, so you can pick which to play in which match up.
I run two different reanimated decks, red black and a blue black. Both of those could give u several ideas. My blue black is by far the more expensive of the 2. I usually run the red black against weaker opponents and the blue black one for tournaments or more serious players. I don't mine griselbrand but the power of the blue praetor can't be underestimated. I prefer the blue p raetor because I card draw and destroy my opponents hand at same time. I know there's a risk becAuse they can install kill it before u could draw but its an accepted risk if I can wipe my opponents hand out.
