ok, it needs sholdred, whispering one or reya dawnbringer. they are both must haves. also try buried alive, victimize and living death. the body of the deck is perfect, it just needs fewer creatures. the fewer creatures you have the less likely you will draw one.

well not both of them are must haves, but you should have one or the other.

I have the cheap version of this, so i know how it works. 1 It doesn't matter if you draw creature because you have careful study brainstorm+fetch ponder + shuffle so it doesn't matter if 1/6 of your deck is creatures, 9 should work better.

It seems to be fairly functional by whats with all the singles? is this your actual deck or what? I would find the cards that really "make" the deck for you or the ones i like the pictures of ;) and try to weed out the ones that are "cool" or just sitting to the side. But then again i am more of a Hero of Bladehold kind of guy simple and destructive and i dont do combos that take multiple turns or dont win me the game.

Hi Tremorth,

You asked me to take a look at your deck

I've posted alot of reanimator decks here at the Vault. Most of my reanimator decks are made for a certain environment, casual play, where banned cards are often not restricted. Your decks are clever in that it is trying for a for transformational sideboard and changing the deck into an illusionary force deck. If this is for casual play great, very fun idea, but if this is for tournament I suggest you think again.

Legacy tournament side board is about trying to disrupt the current top tier decks there are very good reasons why mchosa has the cards he does in his sideboard. If you want to win tournament's learn why mchosa choose the cards he did for his sideboard and emulate him.

Casual play can both be a lot more forgiving but also maddeningly more brutal because in casual groups players often allow other players to play banned or restricted cards. For example, its not usual to see in my gaming group that has a few old timers like myself playing with Bazaar of Baghdad in their reanimator deck. Bazaar is banned in legacy because its just unfair in a reanimator deck. So if you want to improve your casual play deck adding cards like Bazaar of Baghdad, Frantic Search, Windfall could be massively beneficial. The only problem being Bazaar of Baghdad is a $200-$300 card. But you can get Frantic search or Windfall for as little as 25 - 50 cents.

Your deck seems to be build for dualing. Many people think Griselbrand kicks ass in duals.

Finally, If you haven't read Surewhynot recent front page post Dead Remnant

you really should give it a glance it has many good comments about reanimator from some of the best
deck builders on this site.
