"So much our lives wasted in misery
Cowering, cornered, bowing in apathy
Filled up with bitterness, no answers given
Condemned to nothingness, punishment granted"

Deck discussion for Salvation Denied

I like the quote, and the deck. I'm assuming the Emp. Angel is in the main in place of Inky because there are these brief moments if extreme vulnerability when (ab)using Grisly and she provides greater defense?

Sometimes there are things that even Elesh Norn or Griselbrand can't stop from beating you into submission(Zoo, Maverick, or Affinity all with good pilots usually), and for these things I play Empyrial Archangel. Previously the soup du jour was Blazing Archon, making for a lovely day against Sneak & Show, but then everybody realized it wasn't worth having the better game one against them(which we already had) to eat a Path to Exile and get swamped.
(Ab)using Grisly with less fear is a reason she's played, but the first is of far greater significance.

The quote is a personal favorite of mine from music, which is saying a lot considering how many great quotes exist in music. Such an astute observation of humanity, and a thought I often have in "the bible belt".

Chain should be Echoing Truth. If your opponent plays something like Ensnaring Bridge, they're gonna be able to bounce your fatty when you try to bounce their Bridge.

If you're gonna jam Shallow Grave in the deck i really think you should max out Griselbrands. Actually i think you should max out on Gris Either way. Almost every Reanimator deck that has topped in the past few months has had 4 Gris. He is just TOO good.

Another trick i have seen people jamming is Hapless Researcher. That card is the tech right now, getting around Spell Pierce and Flusterstorm with ease. And in a meta with a ton of Mid-range decks being able to block-sac is a nice way to by an extra turn or so.

What's the deal with sideboard Stifle? I'm assuming to use on Relic and Crypt, etc? What do you do about Rest in Piece/ Leyline? Finding 1 of 2 bounce spells isn't going to be that easy.

Yeah, I actually had almost exactly that happen last night...

I'm not jamming Shallow Grave in the deck, I think it's more useful than Animate Dead. I putting a third Grisly in, over Jin-Gitaxias, that point I concede. Jin-Gitaxias doesn't scale appropriately with Grisly.

Hapless Researcher is old tech, every time I played them back in the day I would rather have had something that dug me as far as a Careful Study. Faithless Looting had many people excited over the idea of what it would do in Dredge, I was happy to have something that digs more than one card deep.
Reanimator tech is moderately cyclic, in that regard, and many others. For a good while Blitz was ridiculed, whereas before that(and now to a point) it is the preference.

Stifle isn't even in there for Graveyard hate anymore, it's there because my friends exist. Taxes, Hive Mind, Forgemaster, and more. If I know they're not there, Stifle becomes Surgical Extraction, Pyroblast goes down to three, and I add another bounce spell.
