I'm interested, and I support the wurm, as it murders opposing hawks. I think you should be the guy to run a singleton primeval though, the power it has with the cobra is madness. I'm interested in this, as it's a good way to deal with some of the most popular decks, after you take it out for a spin I'd be interested in results, if you're willing to publish them.

Oh it had them, but I hit cranial with a needle, so they weren't a threat. Also Hurkyl returned them all to his hand. I was hit by two extirpates, one on entomb, and the other on Iona... I've been working on the kinks in reanimator since I started this game, and hyper-aggression of any kind has been thought of.
I've started using a single It That Betrays, it's a large creature that takes what they sacrifice, with annihilator 2 to ice the cake. Much more fun than prince imho
Point 'em out, we can fix that lol.
Joe, there's no being humble about this one... It clocked faster than a freaking storm gauntlet, not just mine, used a TON of them to see what methods work best. If I ever decided to play a pure aggro deck in legacy, this would be it. I've been testing all my decks against it, and even if they win, it's an incredibly uphill battle. My reanimator has won because of hurkyl's recall, to back up a stormtide trying to bomb tezzeret... That's about it.
That's why my favourite tourney deck is my reanimator, it has the tech to beat EVERYTHING.
It is probably going to run countertop, but running braids would change the deck yet even farther off course sadly. It wouldn't really work while trying to throw in bitterbombs. I am totally going to have to try and make a countertop braids one since you mentioned it though, that just sounds stupidly evil.
Oh and thanks for the compliment on the mana base, that's where I actually had to put in the most work. It didn't take long to make a spell list that worked, what took me so long(since before I made the lands deck) to build this deck was the support, and the mana base. I had to build around the poxes, which means I had to have alternative mana(moxxen), and an easily recurring suite of lands. I've spent most of my time with this tweaking, and I'm pretty proud of how its turned out.
That's the plan, I've got to test this more, but I actually dunno if I can do Poxtraction with this kind of list. I won't be able to get the most bang for my buck. I'm considering trying U/B for the Poxtraction, it'd be a bit contorted probably, but it SHOULD work.
He's in sideboard, it's Nyxathid. I've usually got enough discard and pox effects that I don't have to worry about crowd control, but BSZ is actually a pretty good idea. I'm thinking maybe -1 scroll for it, and having another in the board in place of my second Syphon Life.
I'd probably replace Charnelhoard, Reya can give games to reanimator. Recurring the Iona they just killed is just sick :D
Ad Nazium, and Spiral @#$%... I like it, lol. Cannonist is pretty awesome man, I had three or so at one point, but made the mistake of trading them to get my playset of counterspell... Looking back makes me a saaad panda. I've also just given up on trying to build affinity, you've broken it more than I possibly could. I've actually started directing people to your list for testing against hyper-aggression, and so far your deck has about fourty wins against eight losses lol.
I know how you feel about the tourney thing, but in reverse. I've only recently been building for tournament stuff, and even then most of my time is spent on fringe decks. As for ideas; I've actually been thinking about this one since they spoiled F&F, but fish-go. Fish-Go sounds like it would be amusing, and it might actually work in the current extended a bit, I dunno.
I'm personally that guy who uses fume spitter, it's one of my favourite utility creatures in the non-eternal formats. Yeah it's not going to be a 2/2 like the goblin, but it's whenever the hell you feel like it. If you're going for power, there's always that one vampire... I can't remember its name, but I think it might be Lacerator...
Congratulations on another strange tribal deck hitting front page, I think this makes what, ten?
Drudge Skeleton+Death Baron=Epic aggro. Seriously, that was one of the first things I saw when my friend showed me the baron, and I've always wanted to see that interaction happen since. Overall it's a pretty good deck man, and I haven't seen the baron used in a loooong while, so props for that too, Sadly though, Festering Goblin isn't extended legal anymore, and the closest they've come to reprinting him is in Fume Spitter.
This may very well be one of the trippiest casual decks I've ever seen dude, I've never seen a deck that I think could reliably get the helix win before this. I also support the inclusion of the elf.
I play U/B reanimator, and yeah... Scoops occur a LOT. It Blazing Archon/Stormtide Leviathan are also some pretty good choices that early, won a lot of games with that. I don't quite like stormtide as much as the archon though... I'd rather have the game 1 against fish if I can take it.
MmmmMmm, tastes like victory.
I have an extended deck that's a bit more suicidal than this, and it runs more bosks even. Decks running black and green(other than jund) in extended are psychotic and suicidal usually. Mine usually kills when I hit ten or eight life, or dies to decks with heavy flying.
