Deck Description

Sedris' power makes him a sort of pied piper of cadavers; his influence forces the dead from their graves. Flailing about as they hurtle forward, the creatures appear to pirouette like worm-chewed ballerinas.

It's a reanimator deck, as you can probably tell. However, there is a particular emphasis on repeatable effects that make the most of "enters the battlefield" (187) abilities. The deck uses several different card combinations to make it's monsters 'dance':

* Corpse Dance + Altar of Dementia/Phyrexian Tower/High Market - Attack with the big, hasty monster of your choice, every turn. Palinchron makes this a loop and generates infinite mana.
* Sneak Attack + Phyrexian Reclamation - for 1RB and two life, you can throw any creature in your hand at an opponent, and end up with the card back in your hand. Add an Altar into the mix, and you can throw down any 187 ability multiple times in the same turn.
* Cauldron Dance + Izzet Chronarch - The wizard keeps bringing back the Cauldron Dance each casting, allowing another creature to keep accompanying it, on and off the battlefield.

Those are just a few of the many interactions this deck features. Of course, it is perfectly capable of simply performing the usual routine of aggressively dumping oppressive creatures out, early in the game. Creatures such as Griselbrand and Jin-Gitaxias can simply steal games by themselves. And a hasty Nicol Bolas charging you is a very serious problem.
