Sheoldred - Reanimator Control (EDH / Commander) [Revision 12]

By far my favourite deck. Building it was a four year long journey, experimenting with lots of cool stuff along the way. Is it the absolute best and most efficient black commander? Heck no.

First off, as a general rule I will -not- use vampires and demons. The deck has a mild phyrexian / horror theme that I try to adhere to as much as possible without it being janky. Also no infect. I'm talking about old-school Invasion era phyrexians here, kids. That said, I'd love to swap some creatures for something more in theme... who knows, someday new phyrexians might show up. Not swapping out the chinese guy though, he's got a unique mechanic that can't be replicated with anything else in MTG.

The deck is a huge toolbox, has a shit ton of viable wincons: from exsanguinate / kokusho to primordial / RODR, to going aggro with Sheoldred herself...

There's also a cmc=4 subtheme that can get a lot of stuff on the battlefield through Fleshwrither and Dimir House Guard. It is kinda slow, but it flies under the radar and once you get rolling, it gets interesting.

Long live Phyrexia.
