Old School Black Revival / Type-I Legal
|
Well, this is a deck that isn't new or original by any means... the reviver has been a popular tournament deck off and on since
around Ice Age or so back in 1995. William actually got the idea for his revival decks from me, although his are admittedly
much better than mine. I'd had the basic rundown of this deck kicking around for 4 or 5 years; it just took me a long time to get
around and build it.
It's really not that strong of a deck, but I wanted to keep it true to my original plans. It's a hell of a lot of fun if you can get a good
opening draw (one land, one dark ritual, one creature, and one reviver), but if you don't you're probably in trouble because it
needs that early jump to win. Trample is the name of the game with this one, but you could subsitute almost any fatty for these if
you'd like... fliers and tramplers are usually the most effective though.
