![]() Other decks you mention, such as Melira Pod and those based on Sun Titan, are impacted by graveyard hate but not by much. Cards like Leyline of the Void and Rest in Peace are still very effective, but Tormod's Crypt, Nihil Spellbomb etc are not, and Grafdigger's Cage doesn't do anything.Ī final note: the two example decks above are completely focused on the graveyard they pretty much cannot win if the opponent has e.g. They might have to use their graveyard hate simply because you are threatening to cast Angler even if you don't have it in hand. Gurmag Angler is impacted, but your opponent needs to stop the cards from going into the graveyard in the first place, which isn't trivial. Hollow One can be cast for free with each Bazaar activation, and literally doesn't care about the graveyard. Again, look at the hate cards you mention and see how effective they are against these cards. Note the 3x Gurmag Angler and 4x Hollow One. This is a Vintage dredge deck with a transformational sideboard. ![]() These kill so many of the hate cards you mention, and in fact killing these hate cards are the main reason they're there. Note the 4x Nature's Claim, 1x Abrupt Decay and 3x Ancient Grudge in the sideboard. ![]() This is the hardest thing to do because your maindeck is built around the graveyard, and you only have so many sideboard slots however it has been done before. You switch from being a graveyard-based deck to one that isn't based on the graveyard much, if at all. Third: the last option you have is to transform. This works because you should have more graveyard pieces than the opponent has hate cards. If the opponent does have Faerie Macabre, you still have one dredger in hand. If the opponent doesn't have Faerie Macabre, you expect to be able to generate enough value to overpower him anyway. You play around this by not discarding both your dredgers, only one. However if the opponent might have Faerie Macabre, that would result in a blowout. For example, suppose you're playing Dredge and the most explosive play you have is to Cathartic Reunion to discard Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Thug. Try to get your graveyard to the point where the opponent needs to use their hate cards, but you haven't committed all of yours. Second: Against one-shot effects such as Surgical Extraction and Faerie Macabre, you play around graveyard hate by not using all your graveyard pieces at once. The most common of these cards is Nature's Claim, because the most powerful graveyard hate cards are enchantments & artifacts (note how many of the hate cards you mention fall into this category). For example if you're expecting the opponent to have Leyline of the Void, bring in something that can kill enchantments. Cards like Spell Snare, Mental Misstep and Annul protect your graveyard for minimal costs.įirst: Sideboard in anti-graveyard hate. On the positive side: when going the counter route, the hoser spells' low costs and specific type can be to your advantage. But if you go against a dedicated graveyard hate sideboard, you're going to have a tough time either way, because as you already pointed out with your list of hate cards, all those cards are cheap and have either a static or an instant-speed activated hate ability. Give the opponent as little an opening as possible. Trying to be faster loses against Leyline of the Void, and possibly against cheap permanent or instant-speed graveyard removal.Įither way, you should always try to discard your fat guy and reanimate it in one go if possible. You either need to spend a turn removing a hate card, or you need to keep enough mana open to counter one. Unfortunately, control typically conflicts with Reanimator's strategy of bringing a fat guy on the table as soon as possible. Google "reanimator control" for deck lists. Black is notoriously bad at dealing with artifacts and enchantments, so you probably need white ( Disenchant) and/or blue (countering) as well. A) be faster than the hater (except against Leyline of course, only white control helps against that): The fastest combo is Swamp, Dark Ritual, Putrid Imp/ Entomb, discard, Exhume.ī) control your opponent's solutions.
