Deck overview

This deck is an Abzan Enchantress Reanimator strategy piloted by Anikthea, Hand of Erebos. The game plan fills the graveyard early using efficient self-mill engines like Mesmeric Orb, Grisly Salvage, and Entomb to bin powerful enchantments. On Turn 4, casting Anikthea, Hand of Erebos immediately reanimates a high-impact enchantment as a 3/3 black Zombie creature token with menace. The deck snowballs this board position through token copy engines such as Three Blind Mice, Nesting Dovehawk, and Anointed Procession, alongside anthem effects like Boon of the Spirit Realm. Defensive pieces like Sphere of Safety and Doomwake Giant lock down opposing creature combat and clear small utility creatures. The deck delivers a lethal combat finish by Turn 7, supported by protective spells like Heroic Intervention and backup reanimation from Yuna, Hope of Spira.
