BR Reanimator 60 cards, 0 sideboard 4 {Mountain} 4 {Marsh Flats} 5 {Swamp} 1 {Shizo, Death's Storehouse} 4 {Blood Crypt} 4 {Blackcleave Cliffs} 22 lands 4 {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} 4 {Griselbrand} 8 creatures 4 {Soul Spike} 4 {Goryo's Vengeance} 4 {Through the Breach} 4 {Lightning Bolt} 4 {Night's Whisper} 4 {Thoughtseize} 2 {Pentad Prism} 4 {Faithless Looting} 30 other spells Sideboard Notes: The aim is to win using a reanimated {Griselbrand} or {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} then following up with burn or another reanimation. Not sure about SB yet. Thoughts?

Definitely sideboard an alternate win con cause people WILL be siding in graveyard hate after round 1.

Any suggestions on that? I'm thinking just more combo protection like {Defense Grid} or {Boseiju, Who Shelters All} since you have instant speed reanimation and ways to pitch cards, you can play around graveyard hate. Admittedly, it makes life much harder.

Fist of Suns.

Fist of Suns.

I'm not sure I want to go down that path even though the deck did reasonably well at the GP. The mana base becomes much more inconsistent, plus {Fist of Suns} is way more expensive now :P

The mana base is actually going to be more consistent with Caryatrid and 6+ fetches to go into the specific colors. Plus, Fist of Suns will probably going down. It is only due to hype and speculation.

I mean, let's be honest. This deck generally isn't going to do well so long as {{Scavenging Ooze}} and {{Deathrite Shaman}} see a lot of competitive play.

Take into account the speed of them, though. They are ridiculously slow most of the time.

You cant exactly reanimate emrakul

You can, using instant speed reanimation like {Goryo's Vengeance}, you just need to do it while the trigger for his reshuffling is on the stack.

True, but considering all the BGx decks that will pluck your reanimator spells...it's not pretty.

Reanimator plays against them with other cards, though. It also fits more wit Fist of Suns.

No {Entomb}?

No {Entomb}?

I don't think it's modern legal.

Unfortunately {Entomb} is not modern legal, otherwise this deck would be pretty broken.

Lol it would be legacy reanimator or tin find ; p

Pretty much, lol
