Reanimator Deck Where You Are Never Stuck With Big Creatures in Your Hand!
All Big Creature Cards Have Alternative Casting Cost!
Introduction
This is a mono-black reanimator and midrange deck where all reanimatable big creatures cards have an alternative, cheaper casting cost, so that you are never stuck with them in your hand. The main reanimation target is Phyrexian Fleshgorger. Since there are only 4 of them, the deck has only 2 copies of Zombify
. The idea of the deck is also to circumvent all possible graveyard hate by being able to cast every creature from hand.
The deck has no targets for Temporary Lockdown
and Cut Down
.

This is my own brew.
Format
- The deck is for the Standard format with Tarkir: Dragonstorm being the last legal set.
- The deck is probably Tier 1.5 caliber.
- The deck can be played in both Bo1 and Bo3.
