Deck overview

This is a tightly tuned Orzhov reanimator-aristocrats midrange deck helmed by Squall, SeeD Mercenary. The primary plan is to stock the graveyard with Entomb, Buried Alive, and Unmarked Grave, then reanimate high-impact pieces via Reanimate, Animate Dead, Necromancy, and Dance of the Dead. From there it closes through layered aristocrats drains (The Meathook Massacre, Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER, Susurian Voidborn) and classic reanimation loops (notably Leonin Relic-Warder with reanimation auras). A dense stax package-Archon of Emeria, Drannith Magistrate, Deafening Silence, Grand Abolisher, Voice of Victory, Tangle Wire-buys time and protects the combo turn. Squall is a strong value engine (solo double strike plus MV 3 recursion on connect) but is not required for any win line; the deck functions as a full 99-card reanimator pile if he is answered.
