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!
