The reason this site is called “MTGO” Academy for a reason. We cover the online version, which, yes, extends to the Paper version. We offer content about the formats that are recognized by the manufacturer and moderator of the official game. Not local German Academy.

And when I said cross swords… I think, once again, your head is somewhere else and somewhere worse. This is an expression that means, “to challenge or pick a fight with.” No pee-pee talk.

Congrats, between this and your ingame messaging, I am exhausted. I will gladly concede if it means I don’t have to rinse/repeat my answers for the fortieth time. Watch the video, listen more closely, and try and stay on topic. This is the point of the comments, not to assume the world knows what you’re talking about.

But the most rediculous thing is how you go on about the reanimator list I posted.
First of all it’s not my deck, but it won 400 € (530 $) in a 182 men real life tournament.
I myself played in the tourmanent with a 5c Staxx deck and saw said deck in action.

So you really shouldn’t try to take away from the deck.

And yes it’s me on my picture and no I don’t want to cross swords.
But thanks for the offer, I’m flattered.

Now can you be nice again?

Saffi is beyond synergistic in a deck like this; any guy on his way to the Ether with an”enters the battlefield” ability plus Saffi equals gross times at Ridgemont High. In short, try her, she’s disgusting, especially at the vital two-drop slot.

I agree Krovikan is lackluster, but, alas, a necessary evil. I rarely get Recur going; it’s almost always Survival (or Fauna Shaman, now). Krov’s your sure fire way to stretch out those activations on Survival, and, as a machine gun, he is pretty okay.

Avenging Druid gets cut for the same reason Bloodghast doesn’t work main: too many dudes running around in play to make him useful.

Lastly, this deck wins one of three ways (in this order): I Hermit Druid down my deck, Dread Return an Eternal Witness for a Living Death and annihilate their board (swinging for victory the following turn and ensured by Reveilark/Karmic Guide loop), I Natty Order Progenitus and attack twice, or I just kill them with my generally higher quality men. I used this very play to win three of the matches that put me in the Top 8 this last weekend.

The Skeleton/Contamination combo is cute, and basically just that. I’d not put much stock in pulling this off + having board control + have enough threats to actually win, as I would be locked out + the majority of decks are playing Black as a splash at the very least (do some research and you shall see). Seems fine in Commander, not so much in 100cs.

eXXa: you haven’t asked once, you have just been barking on and on about how you would do this or that, not even really looking at the deck (which is what all these comments are about, the deck featured, not one you have been playing in a house rules version of the format in Germany).

I have to be honest and say, to me, even though you are playing some obvious banned stuff and cards not yet available, this looks pretty undedicatedly janky. It’s missing some staples for Reanimator to play unneccesary things like Raven’s Crime and Mana Leak (I get why you are playing the, but still); again, consistency is foregone for situational chaff. The mana is greedy and subpar (Mirage fetches/Maze of Ith/Undiscovered Paradise???). I can imagine a random opener with this and being like “oh crap,” as Reanimator is prone to god awful draws. I’m sure you feel like I’m just spiking the proverbial volleyball back your way, but I am not doing it for spite. Seriously, someone else take a look at this and tell me if it doesn’t strike you as a little off, especially with these more lenient bannings.

Actually, scratch that! Why are you even arguing about an archetype I’m not even attempting to play, which I have stated in the comments, and which I stated clearly in the video? I feel like you watch just enough to get a basic idea of what you THINK it’s about and then you start trying to bellybop me out of the spotlight to pontificate about something off topic – as you did on the whole “too many lands in your ‘Geddon/Grand Arbiter deck.” I’ll tell you what I would tell anyone who wants to challenge my insight into this format: win 13 PEs with 7 different decks after supplying the community with an in depth dissection of just how to beat you and I will be more than happy to start doubting myself. Not in a house rules scene that you and a handful of other people play; here, online. Otherwise, you’re just a dejector. This is a forum for discussion of the provided topic, not ousting, especially of moi. I don’t care if that profile pick your touting is in fact your own chest (also weird); if you wanna cross swords with me, can we at least do it on the same subject, bro bro bro.

Now wipe that egg off your face and take a look at these links. Reanimator is a pet favorite of mine, and, I took it to some 1st place finishes a number of times (which online is pretty hard). Granted, these lists are dated by a few releases, but they may help you smooth out this build of yours:

See you guys back on Thursday with updated build! Stay tuned for the last two installment: both PE coverage, both of which I Top 8, one of which I sort of win the whole frickin’ thing.

Have you had a look at our current top 1 deck? If yes, how do you like it?

There are so many ideas and things I’d like to see in this deck that aren’t in there. I play a GWB deck in commander quite a bit.

I’m sure you’re going to fit Fauna Shaman in the deck. I also like the new Reassembling Skeleton. Mmm Skeleton and Contamination..then you’re going enchantments again lol – Deed/Idyllic Tutor sheez.

One thing I can say is with entomb, I like Bloodghast in the main…especially with stuff like Recurring Nightmare/Survival/Fauna Shaman.

Cards that aren’t really my flavor: Krovikan Horror, Saffi Eriksdotter, Avenging Druid,

Dread Return – I know you’re thinking flashback when you hermit your deck. I guess maybe you get lucky having 3 dorks out to sac? The problem is there isn’t anything in the deck I see outright winning if you reanimate that way. Also, against most of the decks you’d want it against will keep you from having 3 dorks in play. I’m sure you have a better reanimation option or even a regrowth effect to get your living death back. (Already have witness).

So much more to say. I love the deck though. So many options, no GWB is the same.

I in no way mean to be “harsh,” but if you ruffle your feathers on a topic in which I have proven time and time again to be more than informed I will respond as such. Perhaps preface statements with, “in my community, which has different Bannings, these cards…” Because as it is, you are mentioning situational and, in many respects, inferior cards. Maybe not for Bazaar UBG, but this isn’t that deck, not even by a mile. I appreciate suggestions, but, at times, you meander off topic, and sometimes in an argumentative manner that demands like force: pls reference your “you are playing too many lands” four week tirade on my last Commander series. I state my intentions with my decks clearly, take this into mind before you try and build something different on top of what I am sharing.

Aaaaaaand breathe.

In Germany decks like this wouldn’t be played competitively.
I got a reanimator because it’s fun.
The competitive variant of it would be UBG combo reanimator including Bazaar of Bagdad.
Our bannings are a little different and the format in genereal is much older than the 100 CS on modo I think. So you can’t compare that much and you shouldn’t be saying stuff like “what the hell are you playing down there?”
