by jon23516 on 07 March 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (28 cards)

Sorceries (4)


Artifacts (4)


Land (4)

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

Casual silly fun. Fill your graveyard with Demons (was Dragons), play Patriarch's Bidding to put them into play. Swing for the win.

How to Play

Drop lands, Use Entomb/Buried Alive to stock your graveyard with Demons (was Dragons). Play Patriarch's Bidding, naming Demons (was Dragons) as soon as you can, hopefully on turn 5... Browbeat yourself into drawing extra cards in case you need "discard" a Demon (Dragon) or two from your opening draw; Faithless Looting helps with this too. Demonic Tutor is copy 5-8 of whatever piece you haven't drawn into yet.

@DemonKing28, good call, the Starstorms were afterthoughts like I said, will edit them out for Faithless Looting. Thanks!

I started with Book Burning too, but dropped them for Buried Alive as they were more straightforward.

I figured the backup win is just hard-casting Haste'd Dragons...

Seems like you can't really do much before turn 5 in the way of defending, attacking or stalling, but when you get up to that 5 mana mark, it's going to hurt. You just gotta hope you're not dead by then.

Living death can wipe their field and bring back your dragons.

In general, I think you should probably treat the whole deck like a red-black reanimator deck... in which case you could probably use some more self-discard, and more ways to fill the grave quickly, like entomb... and you could probably drop a few of your reanimate targets.

I will go research "reanimator decks" as it sounds familiar as a known archetype. Explain the self-discard? Entomb sounds good. I agree about reducing the amount of reanimate targets. Goldfishing has shown that as soon as I can Buried Alive for 3 Hellkite Overlords I can then drop Patriarch's Bidding for game. So technically, the 16 creature targets could be cut in half. Should I fill the bottom end in with some Mono Black Control kinds of things? Duress? Distress? Or go for some cheap bodies for early swings and chump blockers? I don't want to dilute the purity of the original build, but yes, I can't just be at the mercy of my opponent until turn 5 at the earliest. Once I've used Buried Alive or Entomb, is it worth adding Doomed Necromancer to get a dragon out a turn or two before I can 'Bidding?

reanimator is a very fun deck to use. it can be very very expensive though. u might know it better from the special deck that wizards released called graveborn. they reprinted the essential reanimate cards in that deck release. the self discard mentioned would function like having multi faithless lootings in the deck more than normal. grave yard based decks r very tricky, one trick i like to use is a splash of extraction. night of terrors comes to mind, though discard can be better just depends on the person really. if u really wanted to keep it pure, u could splash a couple of the smaller dragons or even taint it some with like reassembling skeleton, that guy is a pain to deal with most of the time...

Another thought I had, reducing the Dragon count in order to add some Dark Rituals. Since you can specifically tutor out Dragons with Buried Alive, I don't really need 16 dragons in the deck. Tutor out the right ones and you can Bidding with 3 Dragons for the win most times. I figure that Dark Rituals will just help accelerate anything you want to do throughout the game.
