You crazy SOB. This cracks me up. I worry about a lack of overall protection for the more "fragile" parts of the deck, but I suppose Therapy and TS do their job? =/ I also wonder if some speed boosters would do well in this. Dark Ritual sure, but LED might not be half bad for this either TBH...

Therapy and TS does the job and then some. Calling it fragile is kinda funny though, as I can go off without warning in a single turn in several ways :) They also have the surprise benefit of being sick with Reanimate.... as in, I stole a Reanimator deck's Iona turn 2. They are also great with goyf.... I'll make you discard that JTMS. Oh, and since you countered my turn 2 fauna shaman, this turn 3 goyf is now a 5/6. Enjoy! The truth is that your bst protection is your diversity. Ooze, or Vengevine, or goyf, or bloodghast? All are options basically right up until the moment your fauna shaman's tutor ability/buried alive asks for a target. This diversity gets even more pronounced with the options of Bob and NO on the sb... this deck is very hard to hate for the obvious reasons and I'm liking it a lot. I have had little to no trouble with explosiveness, and right now I'm thinking extra ramp is more trouble than its worth, since it kinda sucks after turn 2-ish
Hmmm, definitely something to tinker around with. I like it, it's an aggro counterpart for my usually control based Reanimators. I AM going to start toying with this kind of thing over the week. It's versatile like control Reanimator, it's explosive like it, and it's pimptacularly based off of graveyard shenanigans like it for a kicker. I simply love it, it's hilarious! Also, cheaper to build... Dear God, I may be able to use Reanimator tactics at the casual table yet!
So, what have your testing results been like?
Pretty damned good actually. I've Replaced Birds with Arbor Elf due to personal preference, then some sideboard changes, and it's been doing pretty great. Bad combo MU hurts me a little bit, so I've been considering sneaking in a third GSZ, and a Teeg. Dredge is a joke, especially if you run blue splash for Wonder, and a few counters like in Survival. It's laughable even. Reanimator is an interesting match because they think of you as straight aggro, so they'll probably go for Blazing Archon first, usually leaving you enough time to safely combo. And then fish is just fish, it's survival all over again there.
Yea, that analysis is mostly inline with what I'm thinking. I'm having trouble with aggro, specifically Affinity and Zoo. A third GSZ sounds nice but where do you put it? And I guess a Teeg over an Extraction SB makes sense
I don't run any gravehate, but I do run a similar SB to you. I run two Powder Kegs, a third GSZ now, and Teeg over Surgical Extraction. I also took out the fourth NO, as I found it overbearing usually, and replaced it with Blazing Archon. For Affinity and Zoo, Blazing Archon is really the best for it, we run reanimation tactics, we don't have to always play for the combo. Our aggro is recursive unlike theirs, and against affinity all we have to do is make sure Tezz doesn't live.
Hmmm... Archon is a very nice move. Didn't occur to me to pretend to be reanimator.
Think survival near the end of its brief span, specifically the ones with loyal retainers. This is essentially the evolution of that deck, by taking its last great innovation to the next level. I've just been kind of looking at this deck as a better version of survival since the beginning, as I find it more resilient, and it has better reanimation capabilities.
Updated. Thoughts?
Looks pretty sick man, should shore up the aggro MU's quite nicely. Especially the Null Rods against affinity, it's just funny as hell.
Thanks! This deck has a name now.... Jericho. Don't ask why, wasn't my idea. Check out the preprime at MTGS
