Theros BUG Reanimator Deck

Okay MTG Brewers, my friends and I on Tappedout brewed up a little BUG re-animator (yes, I know I am stuck on the re-animator thing) deck tonight and I think it warrants a look see.

Now it does have a bit of a slow get up and go, but man does it have all the tools it needs to survive. It hits hard and keeps getting stronger.

Here's the decklist so you can check it out for yourself

Creatures:(21)

2x Desecration Demon

2x Giant Adephage

2x Kalonian Hydra

4x Lotleth Troll

2x Prime Speaker Zegana

3x Reaper of the Wilds

2x Shadowborn Demon

4x Sylvan Caryatid


Instant(s):(10)

3x Abrupt Decay

3x Dissolve

4x Rescue from the Underworld


Enchantment(s):(5)

2x Bident of Thassa

3x Whip of Erebos


Land:(24)

4x Breeding Pool

4x Swamp

2x Forest

4x Overgrown Tomb

3x Temple of Deceit

3x Temple of Mystery

4x Watery Grave


So that's the deck. I think it's got a ton of potential. Early game you have the concept of feeding the larger creature to the Troll until you get established, dropping the Reaper early game (turn 3-4) for defense and then following with either of the Demons. Once your board presence is established, you Whip or Rescue your larger creatures from the graveyard for serious mid-game damage.
And you still have the counters and removal to deal with any serious threats, and the Bident for some card draw as well. Lots of weapons to use here.

Let us know what you think, and as always, thanks for reading and we hope you check out our other decks and articles. Including the one we just did reviewing MTG Madness, go check out their website and give our review of them a read! Until next time, keep brewing!
