Strategy notes
Dark Lord Reanimator is a Grixis (blue-black-red) Commander reanimator/spells-matter midrange deck built around Sauron, Lord of the Rings and other big-value creatures. Its main plan is to loot, self-fill, and trade resources early, then cheat large threats back from the graveyard with cards like Reanimate and Living Death.
Key synergies include:
- Discard/self-mill setup from Faithless Looting, Thrill of Possibility, Forbidden Alchemy, Fact or Fiction, and Consider to stock the graveyard.
- High-impact reanimation targets such as Rune-Scarred Demon, Cavern-Hoard Dragon, Inferno Titan, Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of the Throne, and The Balrog of Moria.
- Spells-matter payoffs like Saruman, the White Hand, Lord of the Nazgûl, Guttersnipe, and Fiery Inscription, letting the deck pressure opponents while casting interaction and card selection.
- Token/ETB recursion value from **
