Neriv Spite? Figure it Out by Potato-----

Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Mardu reanimator and burn strategy led by Neriv, Heart of the Storm. The game plan fills the graveyard early with massive threats such as Archon of Cruelty, Terror of the Peaks, and Piru, the Volatile using cheap discard outlets and tutors. It then cheats those creatures onto the battlefield with efficient reanimation spells. Neriv doubles all damage dealt by creatures that entered the battlefield this turn, turning combat attacks, enter-the-battlefield abilities, and damage-redirection triggers into lethal strikes. Alternate lines use damage reflectors like Phyrexian Vindicator and Brash Taunter paired with sweepers like Blasphemous Act to deal lethal damage directly to opponents. While the deck boasts strong recovery through redundant reanimation spells, it lacks stack-based countermagic and dedicated protection spells, requiring deliberate timing around opposing interaction.
