Goal of the deck

The deck is a reanimator deck based on the venture mechanism introduced in the D&D Adventure in the Forgotten Realm set. Most of the time you win by controlling the board and attacking with big creatures. The deck is mid/late game Esper deck with a lot of control and reanimation cards. You will throw big creatures from you hand or library into your graveyard to bring them to the battlefield without paying the mana cost of the card.

Venture

Currently we have 3 Dungeons we can venture in.

Here the choice is easy:

• https://www.mtg-forum.de/db/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Dungeon%20of%20the%20Mad%20Mage&set=TAFR&collector_number=20&language_code=env : This dungeon is way to long (7 rooms) to be playable, we want to finish dungeons a lot to reanimate our creatures.
• https://www.mtg-forum.de/db/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Tomb%20of%20Annihilation&set=TAFR&collector_number=22&language_code=en : This dungeon is interresting but should not be done as it will break our combo (see the combo chapter)
• https://www.mtg-forum.de/db/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Lost%20Mine%20of%20Phandelver&set=TAFR&collector_number=21&language_code=en : This is the dungeon we will always do, and the rooms you will venture will most of the time be the same :
  • Cave Entrance : "Scry 1", not a big thing but always useful.
  • Mine Tunnels : "Create a Treasure token", in my opinion the ability to generate mana of any color is really strong, especially in a 3 colors deck.
  • Dark Pool : "Each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life", most of the time does 3 damage so it is cool.
  • Temple of Dumathoin : "Draw 1 card", drawing is one of the strongest effect in Magic, do not underestimate it !

Remember that each room effect will be double if you have Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker on the board.

Deck description

Reanimation

• Sefris of the Hidden Ways : Our commander, so each time a creature is put into your graveyard (sacrifice, cycle, discard, etc) you will venture into the dungeon and when you end a dungeon you can reanimate a creature. The effects of this card are strong, but there is a few downside. This commander is 3 colors so the manabase is a litlle expensive (most of the time you want Sefris on turn 3), the venture effect will trigger only once each turn (but it can be triggered during your opponents turns !).
• Doomed Necromancer : Simple and effective reanimation card.
• Fates' Reversal : Useful if you have the mana to cast the creature from you hand, but remember the effect is "up to one" so you may return no creature to your hand and only use the venture effect to finish a dungeon.
• Karmic Guide : If you reanimate this one you can reanimate another creature ! Most of the time do not pay the echo cost so you can do the trick again.
• Persist : Simple reanimation card, we dont care about the -1/-1 effect.
• Priest of Fell Rites : Strong reanimation card, you can do the effect at least twice during the game.
• Reanimate : The strongest reamination card in the format, remember that you can reanimate cards from you opponent's graveyard, sometimes it can be interesting.
• Sun Titan : Good body, vigilance is one of the strongest keyword in commander. You will not reanimate a lot with him but sometimes you will bring back Doomed Necromancer or Priest of Fell Rites to reanimate again and again.
