What are your favorite Reanimator targets? (lemm.ee)

Nothing is better than getting some big groan-worthy guy for cheap, and the best part is since the grave is public your opponents see it coming!

I've got a Sidisi, Brood Tyrant commander list, and some of my favorites are:

Archon of Cruelty: Classic value dude. Gets you stuff immediately, hits for 6 in the air, and continues to cause problems every turn he's alive. He's usually the best option.

Ancient Brass Dragon: Reanimate a Reanimator! Honestly kinda slow, not to mention inconsistent, but I got the extra large Bauldurs gate d20 and it's just so fun to roll!

Dreadfeast Demon: what if my zombies were demons instead? Obviously requires some work to make sure you have fodder, but even if your entire board gets eaten having a board full of 6/6s with evasion is a pretty good spot to be.

Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut: But what if instead of demons, they were Juggernauts?? Transforming everyone as soon as he arrives makes Graaz a big aggro play, and depending on boardstate may take out a player or two on the same turn. I've even had the "can't be blocked by walls" text be relevant (take that fog bank!)

So what are your favorite bigguns to bring back from the dead?

I have an Alesha commander deck (like any good trans person) so I'm pretty partial to [[Master of Cruelties]] (although ik it's not really a biggun, it can definitely make a splash)

If you have instant speed reanimation I love having a [[false prophet]] in the yard to punish someone swinging my way.

Oh didn't know about that card actually, I'll definitely have to see if I can fit it into one of my decks.

Sidenote: cool that we have mtgcardfetcher on here, definitely makes discussions about cards easier

Yeah. I'm on kbin.social, so I am not seeing the bots or notifications of replies at the moment, but it is the same formatting as a lot of the mtg subreddits I would reply on.

That said the card works best if you have sac outlets on board, so you don't exile anything you want to reanimate later.

Edit: Just did not scroll down far enough to see the comment. I'm still figuring things out.
