Deck Description

My attempt at making Junk Reanimator viable in the Theros block. Simply fill up your graveyard as quick as possible, and begin reanimating creatures with either Whip or Rescue for ETB effects.

How to Play

In the beginning, you are hoping to get out your mana rampers (Mystic, Caryatid) to be able to begin Whip'in g as soon as possible. If you draw some of the high CMC creatures, drop Lotleth Troll onto the battlefield and feed the higher cost creatures to him for both early power and to get the then uncastable creatures into your graveyard. Until Whip happens, you can Grisly Salvage or Commune with the Gods to help fill up your graveyard. Then simply start reanimating creatures with Whip and Rescue for the ETB effects.

Whip gives reanimated creatures lifelink, so you can do some fun combo's such as reanimating Armada Wurm, swinging for 5 lifelink, then keeping the token on the field to continue doing 5 lifelink next turn. Also, the infinite recursion combo between Obzedat and Whip works in this deck.

As for the sideboard, 4 Duress's are used for anti RDW decks. Pithing Needle can be used for a variety of cards, but I put it in here namely against Scavenging Ooze. The rest of the sideboard, unfortunately, has to be reserved to turn the deck into Junk Midrange. If we do hit a wall with this deck where reanimating against a particular opponent is useless (4 scavenging ooze's, Rest in Peace, etc) we have to be able to turn it into a Midrange deck by utilizing spot removal.

Obzedat's aid?

I've considered Obzedat's Aid, but am unsure of what I would take out. I lowered GS to 2 instead of 3, so I haven't been milling Whip hardly ever (the main reason I want Obzedat's Aid is to grab Whip if milled). Any other suggestions?

I would defintely add more trostani summoner's but damn that's hard... I was going to lotleth troll but I forgot you can use it to discard... I'd say shadowborn demon. Or Sylvan Crayatid, because you get a good amount of tokens and they don't get exiled with Whip, maybe add one more of those
