For those of you that don't know how it works, dump Devourer and Trike in the yard, then either cast Ooze or reanimate it. Necrotic Ooze in play w/ Phyrexian Devourer + Triskelion in yard.Note also that Living Death can also be used for the same purpose and not just a value play. Victimize is specifically in the deck for Mike/Trike. These all help set up the combos below - if you have one of these and a reanimation spell (or the general), you have the win in your grasp. Buried Alive / Intuition / Survival of the Fittest / Fauna Shaman.(could also be priority 1 in a vacuum, can win on turn 3-5 consistently) Use high-threat reanimation targets to inhibit opponents.Set up looting and engines to put reanimation targets into the graveyard.I'd much rather win in a sweeping fashion and not leave any outs for my opponents. I've opted also not to include the "cute" Mimeoplasm targets, such as Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon. From another perspective, a good thing about the deck is that it's a flexible one, meaning you can always shoot to play a reanimator "fair" game and avoid going infinite in different metas. There have been some arguments about turning the list into dedicated Hermit, but why do that when it'd be strictly inferior to 5C Scion? I did mock up that list, and no matter what, it just wasn't as consistent. I don't expect it to consistently win vs Hermit or Storm, but at least be able to duke with the upper tier of generals. This list is intended to hang with higher-powered decks. While I'm quite happy with the list in its current incarnation, it never hurts to get more heads in on the matter! Green offers stronger reanimation targets and gives the deck Survival of the Fittest as well as creature tutors, leading to more lines of broken play. I then consulted Kuma and Yawg for ideas and eventually drafted a The Mimeoplasm list that managed to both take advantage of early reanimation and still have easy access to game-ending combos. After revising the list a hundred times over, I finally confirmed that Grixis would not satisfy my goals nor reach the power level I desired. As I shifted the direction of the deck, I realized how useless and expensive of a commander Sedris was, and how the only way to break parity with my plethora of looting effects was to use Squee, Goblin Nabob. I then realized that instead of trying to mimic Living Death, I should just revamp the list to play more Living Death effects. This deck was originally based around heavy looting and single-target reanimator, followed by a late game mass unearthing of Palinchron-type cards for a one-sided Living Death. This list started as Grixis with Sedris, the Traitor King at the helm. I don't play much Magic anymore, but I still spend time playing multiplayer EDH and making decklists for fun. For those that know me, my user name used to be MCR (and still is on MTGS). Those option from the graveyard a big part of what makes decks like these feel like a real dredge deck.It's been a while since I've posted here. I like anything you can cast from the grave, stuff like Demonic Embrace, Corpse Connoisseur, Rotting Rats, even something like Maximize Velocity isnt totally bad as it discards. Going 5 color you would get Unburial Rites and Sevinnes Reclamation targeting Animate/Dance of the Dead as more "prized amalgam" type ways to get threats on the battlefield using nothing but your graveyard. And Lord of Extinction + Berserk can always win some games. It's not going to ever be "competitive" with only combat damage to win but it feels like dredge. Since classic dredge threats like Prized Amalgam and Ichorid are just not going to get there in commander the cards that get big like Lord of Extinction and Sewer Nemesis and the cards you can get from the grave like Hogaak, Centaur Vinecrasher, Dread Return etc do a good job of replicating the playstyle. I love dredge and tried to replicate the playstyle as best I could.
