Deck overview

This Dimir reanimator deck accelerates high-cost game-ending threats into play turns ahead of curve. Commanded by The Mouth of Sauron, the list utilizes early looting and entomb effects like Careful Study, Buried Alive, and Entomb to place enormous payoffs into the graveyard. Low-cost reanimation spells such as Reanimate, Exhume, and Shallow Grave deploy cards like Ancient Silver Dragon and Abhorrent Oculus as early as Turn 3 or 4. Wonder provides evasion to bypass blockers, while a cluster of five Nazgûl scales power through Ring tempt triggers. Mass recursion spells like Breach the Multiverse and Rise of the Dark Realms provide unstoppable late-game finishes.
