Please help me make this deck.
I’ll be making a Casual - Reanimator type EDH deck. This is specifically for 4-6 player multiplayer games.
The deck will be based on reanimating dead creatures, stealing creatures in play or in the library. My meta sweeps the board constantly, but incase they don’t, I’ll be packing sweepers myself.
Here is my potential deck list, which is always open for change:
My Commander is Ertai, the Corrupted right now (mainly because he’s the colors I want) but i have some legendary creatures in the main list that could possibly do it also....
I know some stuff don’t make sense… but this is a rough draft.
Maybe it needs to go more mill? Maybe more control? I’m open for all changes. Am I missing some really good cards? I’m sure im over looking something.
I know this might not be very helpful, and I would attempt to share more insights if I wasn't pressed for time, but what exactly does White bring to the control aspect that Blue doesn't do better? Likewise, what does White bring to the reanimate aspect that Black doesn't do better?
I only say this because you seem undecided on a commander.
I think it's fine if you are just a fan of white and already have good value cards in that color, but imo a more potent reanimate/steal theme is supoorted by BUG with The Mimeoplasm at the helm. Green brings in a whole new aspect that the build is lacking: ramp to enhance tempo, huge creatures with powerful etb effect, regrowth spells, and versatile control spells like Voidslime, Maelstrom Pulse, Beast Within, Putrefy..
Just something to consider before you start investing money into a themed deck that you may want to develop to be optimal and semi-competitive at some point in the future.
I have the Devour for Power deck and the idea of being able to do MORE reanimating and stealing came from that, maybe I just need to modify it as you said.
I only had white in there because these two reason... 1) Board wipe selection 2) Potentially a better color for supporting my blue and black reanimate and steal spells.
