    Well, the thing about that is that you've got quite a few enchantments going on to produce those effects. Even when they bring the hate, they can only kill one at a time. They can stop your draw, but your giant will still be minusing dude's out

    I could be wrong, but I don't remember any enchantment sweepers.

    You edited, I agree, getting it all going without getting picked apart in the process is going to be hard.

    Yeah no not many enchantment sweepers right now but I guess M15 could bring back Back to Nature

    edit and of course they could always just get rid of pharika, which is the literal linchpin of that combo

    Which would be hilarious on the tails of a "USE ENCHANTMENTS" block.

    Merciless Eviction can exile all enchantments. Only until September though.

    Totally forgot about Eviction.

    Shows how often my local scene still see's Obzedat in some fashion.

    It's all a flavor of control, a monoD, or "I'VE GOT BIG DUDES FOR DAYS" decks.

    i dont think there's any way they reprint back to nature in m15, especially after pushing enchantments this hard

    The only thing I hate, when I think about rotation coming up, is having to make the realization...

    While this deck is fun and good, is it good enough to:

    Weather rotation and come out alive... Am I using some stuff that just probably won't get a mechanical reprint (lookin' at you Pack Rat)?
    OR
    Make it into Modern with a few tweaks?

    These are the things which keep me up at night. I don't want to drop cash on a deck which uses too much RtR stuff, in fear that the stuff I need won't be as plentiful in m15/next block and I'll have to either shelve the deck in a few months... Or try and make the leap into Modern, which I want to do... I'm just terrified of jumping into the Modern meta and getting blown out.

    investing in some RTR cards is hardly the worst thing you could do, just look at what's actually being played in modern and get 'em

    Fair, instead of being paranoid I don't have the ability... I should probably watch some Modern stuff on YouTube and figure out if I'm going to be able to cut it.

    This was awesome.

    While he didn't directly talk about the deck I want to make a thing (B/G reanimator), it did lay out a bunch of decks for me to look at and compare/research.

    Out of curiosity: Modern has been Modern for a while, have there been any murmurs about rotating it?

    Modern is designed as a non-rotating format. I wouldn't expect major shakeups aside from changes to its banned list.

    When I tried to get into Modern, I was playing a BG Reanimator built around Lotleth Troll/Goryo's Vengeance/Griseldaddy. It sucked a whole lot, but things are a bit safer for Reanimation now that Deathrite is gone. I know Jan Van der Vegt ran his Fist of the Suns Reanimator deck at a couple large European GPs and did alright, so you might want to look that up and check out official coverage of those events, as he was definitely on camera playing it a few times.

    Generally speaking, I'd say that Reanimator probably falls somewhere on the lower end of PV's "hard deck" scale, as the better your build the less interactive it should be.

    If I were to make a Modern deck, it'd be a Mill deck.

    Hedron Crab, Jace's Everything (Phantasm, Erasure, etc), Memory Adept, Invisible Stalker (for ciphering and Sword of a Body and Mind) and... well I'd have to research.

    It'd be terrible and I'd love it.

    Wouldn't reprinting Hedron Crab necessitate Landfall being the recurrent mechanic in M15?

    Whoa! They're introducing Planes as a card type?

    Seriously.

    I need Hedron Crab.

    Because, if they reprint Hedron Crab in M15, then for that brief shining period between M15 and Huey, Phenax decks will be tournament viable. Tier 2 even.

    Mill Jace, Hedron Crabs, Walls galore, Consuming Aberration, Breaking, Phenax.

    It. Will. Be. GLORIOUS.

    Just think hard and make mill a thing in Modern. Then you get your crabs and such.

    There is literally no reason it can't be, other than someone saying it can't be.

    And that's just a bunch of bullshit. Every deck is viable, not every player can see how.

    You're a smart guy, you get the deck, find the cards and make it rock.
