Worth it? Not worth it?
Trying to make a decision in my junk reanimator.
Along with that plz give thoughts on vraska as well.
I think more information is required.
Context for one. A deck list would be handy.
Put it this way though. If you can play/put a griselbrand on the battlefield. Do it. He's fantastic.
Vraska is alright, she protects herself while getting bigger. Her -3 is really what makes her work. Her -7 is a bit 'winmore'
{Griselbrand}
{Vraska the Unseen}
Vrasks no, but I always like Griselbrand in Junk rites.
He's a big beefy guy with lifelink and card draw. Yeah, he can hurt you if hes stuck in your hand but more times than not you will ditch him through the draws or I also like running Lotleth trolls :)

Aight good info, i'll post a decklist as is later.
Vraska for sb
{Griselbrand} is never not a good choice. I use him in every reanimator deck I make.

Just realized how much he's worth. Nevermind guys party's over...
Wallet you have failed me again.
He is so worth it and sees serious play in eternal formats. Except EDH :(
Opticarrow, rotation is only a few months away. Maybe your wallet needs time to power up anyway...

Frame it. Or see if grizzle makes good kindling.

You could trade it to meeee! I want a big Grizzly Bear!
If you run Griz, you might want to run a little discard, like {Duress} to target yourself with to dump him, in case he gets stuck in your hand.
You can't! {duress} says target opponent.
Aaand non-creature... ;-)
{Liliana of the Veil} is a nice discard outlet.

I would throw one in if i had that kind of $
I would not run {Griselbrand} in standard reanimator. Right now it would be best to play deathrites, thrags, disciple of bolas, angel, etc. and then drop {Craterhoof Behemoth}.
Think of it this way: reanimate something that can draw you seven cards, which will probably make you win; or, reanimate something that ends the game right away.
I realize grisel is better in formats where drawing seven cards really does end the game, because the cards you draw are more powerful. But in standard, just casting craterhoof and derping all your permanents sideways seems like the best option.
Edit: oh and by casting, I mean reanimating (most times!) of course.

Derp. My apologies, I was just throwing a random discard spell from graveborn out there. I think I had it mixed up with {cabal therapy} in my head. Which is not standard :P
An easy way to beat griz is bower passage though. It helps. And dma brought out more
