Griselbrand Reanimator

[Mikefrompluto]

I see {blazing archon} is used a lot in these decks. I may try him out. Maybe one of those and up the land count by two.

Petals and Rits have a spot in almost every black deck. The thing is, with this deck they would work, but you would have to include then at the cost of hand disruption because the only other option would be to replace the graveyard cards which defeats the purpose of the deck. If I had to choose between getting a threat out one or two turns early while running the risk of leaving then unprotected due to a lack of hand disruption, well, that's an easy choice. Go with hand disruption over fast mana, any day. Now if this was a suicide/reanimate type deck I'd say go with fast mana because who cares about hand disruption when your looking to swarm and overwhelm quickly.

You make a valid point.  I will have to keep this in mind when I construct a deck.

I think you could, if you absolutely wanted to, work in a play set of one or the other in there. Either four Rits or four petals, but not both. If you are dead set, I would go with the Rits. They can be first turn BOMBS a lot more often then just dropping a petal.

I use rits and often get a turn 1 3 CMC spell that drags two creatures to my gy(name?) and then turn 2 have one of them on the field, no questions asked.

{Buried alive}? Im torn between the rits now. I have a playset that I could add along with {buried alive}. This has gotten be thinking.

Took out some things for {buried alive} and {dark ritual}, upped the land count, added {blazing archon}. Going to start testing it out this evening.

I really like the {Dark Depths} + {Vampire Hexmage} combo. I might try that in the build too.

Another ive seen is {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} + {Goryo's Vengeance}, which is pretty mean.

{Goryo's Vengeance} is stupid powerful. You can use it on  {Griselbrand} too... And it's instant speed... Yeah.

I might pick a few up anyways. I just want to feel what its like to play a T2 (T1 possibly even) Emrakul.

[Falcon182]

Thinking on  {Goryo's Vengeance}, keep in mind you can instant speed bring in a  {Griselbrand} as a lifelinking blocker to gain 7 life or draw 7 cards. So good.

Yah im sold on the card. Im going to try it out in this deck even without Emrakul.

[Dudecore]

Reanimator in Legacy is really just based around {Show and Tell}, landing {Omniscience} the backing all of that up with {Force of Will}.

When you have settled on a list, for now, post the updated version. I'm interested in this one for sure.

Modern legal too.

Another creature I've seen lists run is {Hapless Researcher}As another draw and discard spell.

I run  {Tidespout Tyrant} in my creature suite and with petals he gets insane. You need to  watch out playing so many legendAry creatures as the 1  {Karakas} can hose you.

I'll look at your list again and comment further.
