Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Mono-Black Reanimator and Combo strategy commanded by Chainer, Dementia Master. The deck generates enormous amounts of black mana using land multipliers like Cabal Coffers and Crypt Ghast, then leverages format-defining tutors to assemble graveyard-based win conditions. Its primary path to victory reanimates Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion together, often using Victimize on Turn 4 to deal infinite damage to the entire table instantly. Secondary win lines include Bolas's Citadel stormed with Aetherflux Reservoir and Sensei's Divining Top, or repeatedly looping Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Kokusho, the Evening Star through sacrifice outlets. The deck features explosive card draw through Necropotence and The One Ring, and resilient recovery through deep reanimation redundancy. Its primary weaknesses are vulnerability to instant-speed graveyard exile and an inability to interact with opposing noncreature permanents.
