Deck Reviews / Re: [Pauper]Dragon Delvers
« em: Junho 17, 2023, 03:04:02 pm »Your main reanimation target of choice should be Ulamog's Crusher. Also you should add a fourth copy of Exhume, since it's your only way to reanimate stuff. Ransack the Lab is another spell you could add, since it digs three cards deep and does everything you want - filling the graveyard and finding Exhume.
Sideboard options:
- Bone Shards (mainboard for me)
- Nihil Spellbomb
- Duress
- Swirling Sandstorm (since you are filling you graveyard pretty good)
You can optimize your manabase to be more stable by using the dnd-gates (Black Dragon Gate) or thriving lands (Thriving Moor) from the first jumpstart.
I'm generally not a fan of posting my own lists, but maybe you get some more input:

Thank you for taking the time to answer...but the deck is not exactly a reanimator. The main mode for the creatures to enter is with delve, not exhume, tho ofcourse if you manage to drop a creature and an aura turn one and cast exhume turn 2 is pretty sweet...but it's not consitent, since there's not enough ways to put high cmc stuff from the graveyard directly on the battlefield.
Considering the mana situation the deck ends up in, generally, i feel like most of the time ulamog's would be dead cards. Tho maybe one or two copies might not be a terrible idea (maybe instead of the sultai...thinking what i'd cut tho).
maybe 4 exhume 2 ulamog, remove the unseal the necropolis and the sultai. will give that a spin, but definitely no 4 ulamogs, that's asking for dead draws (never have i ever had the mana to straight up cast it).
regarding ransack...i think maybe it could be switched in instead of thrill of possibility? tho having the chance to dump stuff from hand is very important to the deck.
forgot to mention the side - sandstorm seems great to clear out the board, especially vs affinity; very few things survive 5 damages (luckily, mine do generally!)
nihil and duress are solid, bone shard might be another avenue to discard (but what to cut to put it in tho?)
