Overview:
A reanimator/sacrifice-focused deck that leverages Henzie's blitz ability to create card advantage while cheating big creatures into play. The deck aims to overwhelm opponents through recurring large threats while generating value through death triggers.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around using Henzie "Toolbox" Torre's blitz ability to cast large creatures at a discount while gaining card advantage through their death triggers. The deck includes numerous ways to sacrifice creatures for value and reanimate them, creating a recursive engine that can overwhelm opponents with repeated threats.
The gameplay typically involves early ramp through artifacts and land tutors, followed by casting large creatures through blitz or cheating them into play through various effects like Champion of Rhonas or Industrial Advancement. The deck generates additional value through sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Ziatora, the Incinerator, while cards like Riveteers Ascendancy and Butcher of Malakir provide additional value and control elements.
Weaknesses:
- Vulnerable to graveyard hate, which can shut down many of the deck's recursion strategies
- Heavily relies on creatures resolving and surviving long enough to get value
- Limited interaction with artifacts and enchantments
- Can struggle against heavy control strategies that prevent creatures from staying on the battlefield
Most Important Cards:
- Riveteers Ascendancy
- Industrial Advancement
- Viscera Seer
- Butcher of Malakir
- Woodfall Primus
- Ziatora, the Incinerator
- Vivien on the Hunt
- Phyrexian Delver
- Victimize
- Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma
Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual power level, with the ability to generate significant value but lacking the explosive speed or consistency of higher-powered decks. While it can create powerful board states through its reanimation and sacrifice synergies, it typically doesn't threaten wins before turn 8-9. The deck includes good interaction and value engines but lacks the tight optimization and fast mana seen in higher-powered lists.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
The deck sits firmly in the optimized casual range, being stronger than a typical precon due to its cohesive strategy and synergies, but not quite reaching the efficiency and consistency needed for higher power levels. It can create impressive board states and generate significant value, but operates at a fair, interactive pace that allows for counterplay from opponents.
