Standard: Composition of Junk Reanimator

A typical Junk Reanimator decklist follows this formula:

  • 23 lands
  • 7 mana elves (Arbor Elf and Avacyn's Pilgrim)
  • 19 creatures (2 Fiend Hunter, 4 Restoration Angel, 4 Thragtusk, 3 Acidic Slime, 3 Angel of Serenity, and 3 others)
  • 4 Grisly Salvage and 3 Mulch
  • 4 Unburial Rites

How top 8 decks this weekend varied on this formula:
  • Andres Martinez's GP-winning deck had 2 Sin Collector and 1 Deathrite Shaman in his last three creature slots. He also had a Sever the Bloodline over the 4th Thragtusk.
  • Emmanuel Ramirez Sanchez's GP top 8 deck had 2 Sin Collector and a 3rd Fiend Hunter in his last three creature slots.
  • Manuel Monge Hernandez's GP top 8 deck had 3 Lingering Souls and 2 Lotleth Troll, cutting the 2 Fiend Hunter. He also used 2 Craterhoof Behemoth instead of a Thragtusk and an Acidic Slime.
  • Emiliano Sanchez Gonzalez's GP top 8 deck had 3 Voice of Resurgence in the spare creature slots, an Obzedat over the 4th Thragtusk, and a Blood Baron of Vizkopaas his 61st card.
  • Phillip Robinson's SCG Open top 8 deck had an 8th mana elf, a 3rd Fiend Hunter, and a Sever the Bloodline. He used an Obzedat instead of the 4th Thragtusk.
  • Aaron McNeely's SCG Open top 8 deck had 2 Sin Collectors and a Sever the Bloodline in the last three slots.
  • Quack Quack's PE top-4 deck had 2 Voice of Resurgence and 2 Sin Collector, cutting down to 6 mana elves.
  • smallsin's PE 2nd-place deck actually had a lot of differences from our formula. Smallsin used 3 Centaur Healer, 3 Abrupt Decay, and a Sever the Bloodline, cutting the a Mulch, a Restoration Angel, and the 2 Fiend Hunter. It also had an Obzedat and a Craterhoof Behemoth over 2 of the Acidic Slimes.
