[Legacy] Reanimate

Reanimate

Should be quite easy to understand: try to reanimate one of the creature you have depending on the matchup as soon as you can.

I'm not pretty sure its a good one by the way. I'm not going to buy duals for this deck but i want your opinion.

Is it ok overall? Do you think i have to change something? Like the number of a certain card?

[ExpletoryOrb]

thought about adding blue? the common reanimator decks is either black red or black blue, you dont have to do the 4x force of will if you play blue in case money is tight.

[BigFatNeko]

What do you suggest to add? I may add force of will, i talked about duals because 150€ each is way too much. But anyway what would you take away and put instead?

-4 Thoughtseize
+4 Putrid Imp

Same work but no less life points and you have another ( Little ) creature into play.
Also you can discard any number of card from your hand, if you have 2 or more creatures in your hand.

Nice deck, I have one similar in vintage format, is public in this forum!! ^^

[BigFatNeko]

But thoughtseize also serves as a protection for the combo to kick in. Before combo out i can look at someone's hand and discard a counterspell or a sword to plowshares... without it i would be fragile i think.

[Radar]

you already have collective brutality, Unmask and Liliana for discard from opponent's hand...I prefere Putrid Imp, i don't like make me demage free, you have also the reanimate that inflicts a lot of damage on you...ehehehe

Now me too use reanimate, but before i used Animate dead with Jet medallion for have the same effect but I did not get damaged. I was too slow. try my deck and watch if you would ^^

PS: Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian

[BigFatNeko]

I will think about it. Not a bad idea at all...

[Radar]

I like too much Ulamog, i play with Void Winnower but is provisional, I think your Eldrazi Ulamog is better...
and I tink you can use 3 more creatures  instead of the boots, try to use creature with good abilities , equip is too slow for me..

[BigFatNeko]

Void Winnower is really good but what if the opponent doesnt have much spells with even mana cost    Anyway 3 turns with attaking Ulamog is game over so...

[Radar]

You are right, but i try to cast Void with Iona or with Sire of insanity, your opponent cant do anything after those, but in vintage I have more mana than legacy, I have Mox Jet and Black Lotus...little different type to play

[BigFatNeko]

I would like to have mox jet and black lotus actually hahah it's not an issue of game mode because its a for fun deck... it's an issue of money 

[Radar]

I know, but your is a very good deck, I play reanimator from 10 years, I love this tipe of deck, for me it's the best against multiple decks and you can use more color of creature using one type of land. Reanimator is OP for me!! Eheheh

PS: Players have learn how to counteract this type of deck,they use spell like cranial extraction or similar. here becose I have only 1x of my creatures, i don't like use 4x Griselbrand you are more vulnerable!!

[BigFatNeko]

Mmmh, also this is true... but unless they see 4x of that card they can't counter everything. I mean ok they get out Griselbrand but i still have the others such as ulamog and iona. I think they might want to go and take out all the reanimation spells more than griselbrand, but again they have to see 3x at least to do that. I dont think it's that easy.

[BigFatNeko]

I forgot to update it.

I recently removed 1 Griselbrand to put in JinGitaxian

[Radar]

Jin is very good!!

Griselbrand and Iona are the first card if your opponent will try to exile from your deck, everyone use that in reanimator becose are very strong and they must be inside a reanimator deck!!But Surprise them with other creatures with good abilities.

Sorry, you think i'm a conceited, but simply I already play with your type of reanimator and I only try to help you...XD
