Deck overview

This mono-black reanimator deck leverages Witch-king of Angmar as a defensive anchor and free discard outlet while executing high-velocity graveyard strategies. Fueled by premier fast mana like Mana Crypt, Dark Ritual, and Chrome Mox, the deck accelerates ahead of curve to tutor game-ending creatures into the graveyard with Entomb and Buried Alive. Its primary win condition reanimates Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion simultaneously via Victimize, establishing an instant-speed infinite damage loop that eliminates all opponents in a single turn. Powerful backup lines cheat Vilis, Broker of Blood, Archon of Cruelty, or Hoarding Broodlord into play to generate overwhelming card advantage and board control. Flash staples such as Opposition Agent and Orcish Bowmasters proactively disrupt opposing tutors and card draw, giving the deck strong interaction while it assembles its decisive win.
