    I don't know if I even should since I see just about no trace of MtG here.

    1 Yosei, the Morning Star/Kokusho, the Evening Star - 6
    1 Visara the Dreadful - 6
    1 Phantom Nishoba -7
    1 Keiga, the Tide Star -6

    Ignore the second set of numbers next to the fatties. I was just noting to myself how badly Reanimate would hurt.

    Kokusho and the Wumpus gets subbed in for multiplayer action since just about everyone takes out their weenies there (HA!~ Sounds wrong, doesn't it?). Phantom Nishoba is a must 'cause of Reanimate. Besides killing my opponent(s)'s creatures, Visara can kill my own dragons if my opponent(s) won't do it for me. What I bring out first depends on the hand, but the first are usually Akroma, Reya, and Nishoba (in no specific order since it comes down to what spells I'm using).

    I'm considering replacing Careful Study with Zombify to remove blue altogether since I hardly need the draws. And if anyone knows a way of bypassing Reanimate's life loss (or a [good] replacement), please speak up. It's not very good being left with less than five life after bringing out Reya and one other card on the same turn with Reanimate.

    Oh, this is casual if you haven't figured it out by the four Entombs sitting there.

    first i'm thinking...dang this guy's crazy, but then i remember the reanimation XD
    you do know that a Cranial Extraction or 2 could probably kill this deck pretty well, but meh, that's probably one of the weaker points of the deck...especially gainst counter decks ugh
     
    Yeah, I know. I didn't really employ a form of control in this so I'm just going to be overconfident about getting one or two reanimation targets out by turn four. If they accelerate the Extraction, then I'm screwed.

    I used to have a lot more blue in this, but I took just about all of it out when I found out about Extraction and some other cards. *hasn't touched MtG since 8th Ed came out*

    I'm more concerned about Shred from Memory since it's quicker than Extraction. It'd be great if I could fit my own Extraction in this, but it doesn't seem very practical at the moment. If I'm fast enough and I know for a fact they do have Extraction, I can try to abuse Reya+Yosei+Visara.

    Just wishful thinking though...

    As for counter decks, I have two Boseiju, Who Shelters All that I can sub in. I think there's only one person at my school's metagame who runs a counter deck. For how good it is...it's fair I guess.

    meh, not too many people use control decks much anyways...maybe some gain life to go with this, especially considering the life you'll be losing from the reanimation

    (Yachiru is awesome XD)

    That's what Kokusho can be used for.

    oh duh forgot about the second part to kokusho XD

    i would personally put something like Gerrard in here for that kinda life gain but meh XD
     
    How about killing the entire concept of life with Fountain Watch and Lich? I think this would work since there's a difference between "losing life" and being "dealth damage" meaning I won't have to sacrifice permanents for using Reanimate. Risky though.

    Right?

    I'm trying to fit too much in this...

    You can play Lich, and still play life gain to draw.:D

    Oooh...I didn't even notice that.

    +4 Animate Dead

    -2 Zombify
    -2 Stitch Together

    Much quicker, yes?
     
    No point in doing that in this area. There aren't any tournaments close by. The closest store specializing in MtG is about four hours away. Not worth the drive.

    Casual is the way to go.

    Well, Magic Online could always work. I only know the rules so I'm not sure about all of the cards >_>

    You are trying to make it more swamp based though. Good build.

    My comic shop does specialize in M:tG. It has many other tourneys for other card games going on too, and it still has FNM (Friday Night Magic).

    Stop posting, just kidding.

    Play Magic or ph4il over the internet.    :\

    I don't feel very obligated to spend more money to get bits of computer data when I've already got most of the cards I need right in front of me.

    Plus, I heard MtGO is more expensive than the real thing.
