Torment-Cabal Ritual

Add BBB to your mana pool.
Threshold: Instead add BBBBB to your mana pool.

Do you think it will help T2 reanimator?

Reanimator decks shouldn't be build to get Threshold, and w/o Threshold the Ritual is on par with Blood Pet, but doesn't hit for 1

I personally think it'll help arena decks more, either getting a fast early game arena, or fueling huge late game Death Grasps.

Hmm, why not?
because my idea is based on a "draino" type deck.

You know, like Tolarian Winds, Careful Study.

Has it been discusses already?

I'm not familiar with T2 Reanimator specifically, but it seems in general, since you're trying to take creatures out of the graveyard, you don't want a lot of Threshold cards.

But I think it might be worth exploring, since you use other cards to get your deck going (mana accelerators, creature removal, etc).

Using it for a Drain during late game is probably a good idea.

mhh, I haven't heard of it, but it's a nice idea to explore.
a deck like Draino, just with Black Threshold critters (are there any good ones?) and with reanimation spells instead of Flashback, it would be definitely fun to play (like Draino) and it could be quite good, depending on the quality of some Torment cards.

It's just an idea,
I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm workin on it.

It mostly centers around Entomb/Death(Life/Death)
for a turn two fatty.

I'm not sure if you're talking to me or LotusMox.

If me, I said Drain'O', its a deck than puts cards
in the graveyard quickly with Carefull Study,
Tolarian Wind, usually Wild Mongrel.
Then you would flashback a Roaring Wurm or
Threshold Krosan Beast.

 

[Spiderman]

That makes sense then. It's just that I don't think of 'reanimator' in those terms (I'm old-school; I think of Animate Dead ) But if that's how it goes these days, good enough

 

[Griffith_se]

I'm not really qualified the say how it goes.

I don't know if anything good will come of it, all I know is that two cards are key, and it seems
like a good way to find them.

So while I'm filling my graveyard,I figure why not
Cabal Ritual maybe you could hard cast something
scary(Repentant Vampire, and Devouring Strossus
are the first that come to mind)


it's just an idea, You know how I am I just can't
build a normal deck.

 

[Griffith_se]

kind what I have in mind, if anyone is interested

Entomb
Death(Life/Death)
Zombify
Breath of Life

Carefull Study
Tolarian Wind
Necrologia

Cabal Ritual

Scrivener
Phyrexian Delver
then a few mean Monsters

Maybe if there's space
Death Grasp
Soul Feast

 

[Lotus Mox]

mhh, Tolarian winds is sorta , it would suck to have it a fat creature and a Zombify in your hand.

The best reanimation deck I've seen right now is Midnight Express, which is able to cast lot's of Twilight's Calls (with Anarchist, Phyrexian Rager, Morgue Toads and Overeager Apprentice), to get lot's of mana for a Ghetto Fire or a really huge Fallen Angel.

 

[Griffith_se]

Does that one use Reya, Dawnbringer?

Of coarse you're right on every point.
Just trying think of something different.
