Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Dimir Reanimator Control list built around commander Emet-Selch, Unsundered. It accelerates powerful, game-warping creatures into the graveyard in the opening turns through efficient self-mill, looting, and targeted tutors before returning them to play on Turn 3 or 4 with low-cost reanimation spells. Threats like Archon of Cruelty and Toxrill, the Corrosive generate immediate value and lock down opposing creatures, while transformed commander Hades, Sorcerer of Eld provides an overwhelming late-game engine by turning the graveyard into a second hand. The deck protects its proactive game plan with a premier suite of free and efficient counterspells including Force of Will and Fierce Guardianship. In addition to crushing combat and attrition lines, the list possesses compact combo finishes in Thassa's Oracle with Demonic Consultation as well as Bloodthirsty Conqueror with Enduring Tenacity.
