Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a reanimator deck containing ZERO creature cards in the 99. Welcome to Chainer’s haunted house. The early game is spent going door to door and filling graveyards. Discard spells take creatures directly from opponents’ hands and removal spells encourage anything already in play to join the festivities! Once the graveyards are stocked, Chainer begins....... paying three life at a time to return the best creatures under my control. \n\nPSA: Chainer comes with a wonderfully appropriate horror-movie condition: when the host leaves, every Nightmare disappears.\n\nThe deck can still produce some horrors of its own with a few cards without breaking its creatureless construction rule. (i.e. Dreadhorde Invasion, Army of the Damned, Lolth)\n\nChainer’s borrowed Nightmare army is the primary path to victory, but the deck has several appropriately dramatic finales! ( Thrilling Encore, Breach the Multiverse, Rise of the Dark realms, etc.)\n\nMost reanimator decks arrive carrying their own monsters. This one arrives with an empty candy bag and leaves with everyone else’s. That is the trick. Their monsters are the treats. >:)\n\n"}]}
