I have a really nice deck that uses creatures from my graveyard to power up my creatures.
I can still get back easily if all creatures from my graveyard gets exiled, because I have a lot of cards that also put cards in the graveyard. However this situation may be life or death for me, that exiling of my graveyards will happen to me one day and I want to prepare for it.
So I am wondering if you guys know a card or a idea or anything, I'd love to know! Thanks.
The best thing to do is to not care about gy hate. Sometimes gy gets exiled and then you just refill it again. Trying to prevent this by running bad cards that don't synergize with your deck is far more detrimental than actual gy hate.
There is also Ground Seal and Underworld Cerberus, though they will also prevent you from targeting cards in your own graveyard so whether they actually suit your needs depends on the other cards in your deck.
HOWEVER, the best strategy is to just dowhatever you're doing as quickly as possible and ignore your opponent. That's how decks like animator, dredege and lands do it. They're all vulnerable to cards like tormod's crypt, but rather than worry about it, they concentrate on playing as well and as fast as they can.
The SECOND best strategy is to use your sideboard. Unfortunately, there's a LOT of anti graveyard tech, and there's no solution to everything. ground seal, for instance, does didly squat to leyline of the void, one of the most popular anti-graveyard cards. So, what do you put in your sideboard?
1) 1cc discard spells. This will deal will almost everything, but you have to have it in your opening hand to work AND go first. duress, for instance.
2) pithing needle. Stops tormod's crypt and other activated graveyard hate cards.
3) anti-enchantments (the only real way to deal with leyline of the void). This is a bit iffy, because most graveyard decks are black, so it's hard to rely on disenchant effects. Instead, black decks pair up with blue, so that you get echoing truth and similar spells. As a bonus, bounce spells work against almost any threat, but your deck has to be fast enough to finish the game. Pairing with green gets you cards llke nature's claim, which is better if your deck is slower than bounce spells would allow.
3) chalice of the void, worjs against most anti graveyard spells (which tend to be 0 and 1cc). Like discard, however, you have to have this in your opening hand and go first to work. Also, you might hit your own spells.
Another approach would is to go for countermagic. However, this is very unreliable, because most anti graveyard spells are extremely low casting cost (0 and 1), so unless you're packing force of will, it's not going to go well.
