In my mind the most unique or flavorful way to win with this commander is to swing with a lot of zombies, fill the yard, and then bring them all back for an epic finale. Mass reanimate will always have a place in zombie tribal no matter how you go about it.Kvothe wrote: ↑2 years agoI posted my ideas for this deck in the one of the early pages of the thread, maybe page 5 or 6, but basically my main goal for the deck is to win through mass reanimation.plaganegra wrote: ↑2 years agoHello, friend! haha. I have been trying to maximize her triggers as my main objective for the deck. Glad to have you here! Cant wait to hear more of your thoughts on how to do that. It is not easy with so many options.
To that end I value farming triggers and filling the graveyard a lot. So I'm interested in low drops, multiple bodies for card that get extra triggers and pings from our pingers.
I don't place a lot of value on the lords, with exception of Diregraf Captain, because I don't find the buff particularly relevant and rarely win through combat alone.
With that said, Rhystic Study has been very good to me but I don't like Remora because I don't want to lose the tempo to pay the upkeep.
Stitcher's Supplier and Shambling Ghast are good, but I'm not interested in Champion of the Perished because it's only a body.
Entrails Feaster seems very bad.
I also liked the idea of Mariner, but in my playtest I found the mana cost is bad, the effect not really relevant and the aesthetic of the art does not fit with the deck eheh
Swan Song is very good. That said I chose to nut run any counterspells in my deck.
Massacre is a nice effect but it's not on a body, and doesn't work with reanimation so I'll skip it.
From what I can tell there seems to be two competing schools of thought on how to achieve the same goal:
1: lots of attacks, varina in play as quickly and as often as possible.
2: more controlling/tempo plays, varina is optional much of the time but nice to have.
I fit firmly in the same category as you and Reya I think. With these new releases the past few sets especially I want to see what this commander would look like in a deck that cares more about swinging with the undead than controlling the game (but still does a mix of both).
Yeah for sure Entrails Feaster is a bad card lol. I will take one for the team and try it out unless more 1 drops get spoiled lol.
