The deck synergizes the graveyard as a resource, maximizing value by reanimating threats, controlling the board, and grinding out opponents with incremental advantages. It revolves around powerful graveyard-based synergies, utilizing mill and recursion to fuel explosive plays and powerful win conditions.Key Strategy and Synergies:1. The Ancient One as the Commander:The Ancient One serves as the engine for the deck, utilizing self-mill and recursion to flood the graveyard with powerful spells and creatures. The deck is built to capitalize on this, bringing back valuable permanents and creating recurring value. The commander’s ability to draw a card and fill the graveyard ensures that you are always working towards building a powerful, resilient board.2. Self-Mill and Graveyard Utilization:This deck is built around a strong self-mill theme, with cards like Stitcher's Supplier, Gnawing Vermin, Undead Butler, and Cemetery Tampering putting cards into your graveyard for later use. These cards provide consistent fuel for your reanimation and recursion spells while also serving as blockers or utility creatures.Search for Azcanta and Fact or Fiction provide excellent card selection while also filling the graveyard with key spells, ensuring that you can always access important pieces.3. Reanimation and Recursion:The deck features a wealth of reanimation spells like Victimize, Dread Return, No One Left Behind, and Unearth, which allow you to bring back powerful creatures from your graveyard at a low cost. Oversold Cemetery provides consistent graveyard recursion, letting you reuse creatures turn after turn.Powerful creatures like Noxious Gearhulk, Ravenous Chupacabra, and Syr Konrad, the Grim bring immense value when they re-enter the battlefield, either through removal or direct life loss effects.Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Archaeomancer allow you to recur key artifacts and instants/sorceries, ensuring that you can repeatedly use impactful spells like Windfall or Frantic Search.4. Sacrifice and Graveyard Payoffs:Syr Konrad, the Grim and Gray Merchant of Asphodel provide potent win conditions that capitalize on your graveyard strategy by draining opponents’ life totals as creatures enter or leave the battlefield. These cards turn your graveyard into a powerful offensive weapon.The Grim Captain's Locker allows for massive recursion, bringing back multiple threats or generating value every time you activate its ability.Dreadhound and Sauron's Ransom further synergize with your graveyard strategy by offering card advantage and forcing opponents to make tough choices as you mill and manipulate your graveyard.5. Graveyard Control and Mill Disruption:Ashiok, Dream Render is a powerful planeswalker that shuts down opposing graveyard strategies while milling both yourself and opponents. This is particularly useful in multiplayer games where many decks rely on graveyard interaction.Nephalia Drownyard provides incidental mill and graveyard control, allowing you to disrupt opponents while advancing your own game plan.6. Utility and Control Spells:The deck includes versatile control spells like Counterspell, Reality Shift, Feed the Swarm, and Resculpt, which help deal with a wide range of threats, from creatures to enchantments. Invasion of Fiora provides an impactful board wipe, potentially eliminating most threats on the battlefield while leaving your own intact.Windfall and Frantic Search provide powerful card draw and card selection, ensuring you always have access to resources. Jace, the Perfected Mind acts as both a milling tool and a card draw engine, fitting perfectly into the self-mill theme.7. Artifacts and Mana Ramp:The deck features strong mana ramp with artifacts like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Dimir Signet, and Everflowing Chalice, ensuring that you can quickly cast your key spells or your commander. Wayfarer's Bauble and Fellwar Stone provide additional ramp and color fixing.Elixir of Immortality and Trading Post offer utility and life gain, providing insurance against mill-heavy strategies or long games.8. Win Conditions:The deck includes several potential win conditions. Gray Merchant of Asphodel can drain a significant amount of life when reanimated multiple times, while Syr Konrad, the Grim punishes opponents for creatures leaving or entering graveyards.Dreadhound can also rack up damage over time, and Noxious Gearhulk provides both creature removal and life gain when reanimated. The deck aims to grind out value over the long game, using its recursion and reanimation to outlast opponents and swing for massive life swings late in the game.TCGPLAYER WAS USED TO DETERMINE PRICE.
