Kenrith reanimator by darkfirey

Format: Commander

Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Kenrith, the Returned King anchors a five-color reanimator deck whose main loop uses Training Grounds and/or Agatha of the Vile Cauldron to reduce Kenrith's activated costs, Warren Soultrader to sacrifice and retrigger a mana creature, and Faeburrow Elder or Bloom Tender from the graveyard to generate infinite colored mana. Kenrith then draws the library, gains life, pumps the team, and gives haste/trample for a one-combat kill. The secondary plan is conventional reanimation of cards like Etali, Archon of Cruelty, Sheoldred, and Avacyn, with Living Death and Rise of the Dark Realms as backup mass-reanimation spells. Kenrith is a single-faced commander, so both-face analysis does not apply; Emet-Selch/Hades is a value engine rather than a hidden commander.
