It is also worth noting that Mono-Black can kill enchantments with Feed the Swarm.

Partially within the Red color splash because Red can kill artifacts, but can't kill enchantments. The second is available with Green and White color splash. The first option is available with a Blue color splash. This one is a bit trickier depending on how the player chose to build the deck: The second is only available with the Blue color splash.Īnd the third may involve some mind games and having multiple combo pieces in hand - as well as finding the right opportunity.Ī 'hate permanent' is a card such as Relic of Progenitus, Tormod's Crypt, Leyline of the Void, etc. The first option is the most likely to happen since discard is already part of the strategy in most decks. In Commander one is less likely to face Surgical Extraction than in Legacy, for example.Ī player will probably have the following 3 options to choose from to play against spell-based hate (playing against discard and counterspells): The form of hate the player faces will vary from format to format and which deck they face up against. And, because of that the opponent is likely to play some form of hate from counterspells to Surgical Extraction and Relic of Progenitus. And this too impacts the deckbuilding choices of the player (how to dodge it).Īs mentioned previously, Reanimator and reanimation are very powerful strategies. It can help the player leap forward in the game ahead of their opponents, but with such power comes a weakness that is its vulnerability to graveyard hate. Reanimation is a very efficient and powerful strategy.

How can the creature be reanimated: Spell / Enchantment / Creature Effect?.What creatures will it be filled with and what do they do?.How can the graveyard be filled: Discard / Mill / Tutoring?.Such variations come either from the Format's card pool or from the players' post-combo plan. But a player can safely describe the dedicated Reanimator deck as an Combo-Aggro strategy.Īlthough the core strategy is one ( cheat a creature into play using the graveyard), there are some variations. While it needs Aggro to win, the deck doesn't exist without the Combo.īoth statements are valid, but since the latter bears more weight to it, it is more accepted.While it does Combo, it needs to Aggro the opponent to win and.There has been some debate amongst players on whether Reanimator is an Aggro deck or a Combo deck based on 2 points of view: 9 The Card Market and Impact on Decklists.8.2 Examples of Commander Reanimator Targets.8.1 Examples of Commander Reanimator Cards.3.4 Oops, All Spells!
