Deck overview

This 5-Color Reanimator deck utilizes Kenrith, the Returned King as a flexible commander, mana sink, and secondary reanimation outlet. The deck aims to quickly stock the graveyard during turns 1 to 3 using efficient self-mill, discard, and tutor spells such as Faithless Looting, Buried Alive, and Grisly Salvage. On turn 4, it leverages low-cost reanimation spells like Life // Death, Persist, and Victimize to cheat colossal game-warping creatures into play, including Archon of Cruelty, Razaketh, the Foulblooded, and Sire of Insanity. Once a dominant threat is established, the deck pivots to eliminate the table on turn 5. It closes games through infinite mana loops—such as Selvala, Heart of the Wilds with Freed from the Real, or Basalt Monolith with Zirda, the Dawnwaker—allowing Kenrith to force all opponents to draw their entire libraries or pump the board with infinite trample damage. Even under heavy disruption, dense graveyard recursion ensures swift recovery.
