Post rotation 5 color rites

[Thetrufflehunter]

This deck is still in process, so I'm gonna say some cards I would think to include, and you are gonna say how many or not at all. Sound good?

{lotleth troll}
{angel of serenity}
{abrupt decay}
{izzet charm}
{deathrite shaman}
{borborygmos enraged}
{obzedat's aid}
{grisly salvage}
{rescue from the underworld} (theros)
Shock lands
Scry lands (theros).

Reread {worldspine wurm}

Reread {worldspine wurm}

That would make it a difficult reanimator target... +1 for catching that.

5-color only works with plenty of board wipes and drawpower (i.e sphinx rev). Oh, and thragtusk drawing the game out.

You say that, then you look at how terrible the standard scene at my lgs is...

[Pirate John]

Loads of second grade decks will die with thragtusk leaving the ballpark. He alone makes plenty of decks via viable. That's one of the reasons Wizards Won't be reprinting him.

I play at FNMd big enough to be PTQs. 110+ players.

And as to the worldspine wurm catch, i'm surprised I remembered his full text, especially when I'm drunk

5-color won't be a thingg until another game drawer-outer is printed/reprinted

We all really appreciate you telling us how five color WON'T work, but if I were to run it or cut it down, how would I do so?

[DylanW18]

I think if you're gonna do rites, stick with 3 color or less. 5 color can cause inconstancy. I'd say Junk or Esper Reanimator could work. You need an answer to {Burning Earth} though. Junk has {Golgari Charm}, Esper has {Detention Sphere}. I think you should decide whether you want more ramp or beaters, or more control, And make your decision from there

[Thetrufflehunter]

Explain to me how  golgari charm and detention sphere help with reanimator?

Are you the guy who plays at madness? I went there and went 3-1 a week earlier

It simply won't be a deck without {unburial rites} and selective self-mill. We lose {faithless looting}, {forbidden alchemy}, etc... All the cards that would be necessary to dig for obzedat's aid without milling past it.

If you wanted to pursue Reanimator-type brews, you'd have to pack in a bunch of scrying cards from Theros. It'll prolly be creature based so kudos on the lotleth idea... But even so, you'd end up hard casting most of your cards.

They are printing a new reanimator card in theros. Also, {drown in filth} works, {grisly salvage} works, and they are printing something along the lines of that in theros. Plus, {faithless looting} = {izzet charm}.

[Pirate John]

Playing 2 extra colors for 1-card is ridiculous.

What's the new reanimator card?
