Got to play last night for the first time in over two months. My playgroup has died down a little, so we had to rely mostly on randoms at the LGS. Had two games in a row where people played blow up the world cards (Armageddon and Obliterate) without a way to win on board, effectively dragging the games out for an extra 20 minutes. I ended up winning both of them, but we probably could have fit a third game in had those cards not been played as "I don't want to die right now" knee jerk effects.

Run Boros Charm if you are in the color.

I don't have a single deck with RW in it right now. I had a counter for the geddon player, but they had a hand stacked with their own permission. He was running Dervei and I guess he was counting on using him to take me and another guy down from almost 40 life before we could recover. Well, along with the Sylvan Library, Mirari's Wake, and Future Sight he also had. Fortunately, I was left with a Garruk Wildspeaker to help rebuild my mana.

The Oblit player (mono red) did it into a board where I was left with an active planeswalker as well (Sorin Markov). It was a star game with him on my right, and I was able to take out my one remaining opponent before he could do some myr retriever beatdowns on his.

Blazing Shoal seems sweet, Strength of Tajuru's effect stays around.

It is relatively token based of course, but does contain a decent number of creature cards, and i play this sort of holy/unholy hallowed forest kind of thing, so i want a tiny reanimation sub theme. I just don't want to go too crazy, and definitely not trying to dump my library into yard for a mass reanimate.

I guess, what i am asking is, what would be your 4-8 top picks for reanimation in BGW? Preferably recurring somehow.
I had Deadbridge Chant, Karador, and Teneb.

If you're looking for recurring reanimation then I'd consider:

Corpse Dance
Debtors' Knell
Dawn of the Dead
Recurring Nightmare (if you don't use the banned list)
Sheoldred, Whispering One
Coffin Queen
Hell's Caretaker

Infecting people has been fun for me. With Xenagos, I'm voltroning at a much lower opportunity cost. Aggro has been fun again without resorting to Edric.

Dosan (aka Green Teferi) has been closing out some games!

Thank you for your picks
Debtor's Knell is one i forgot, i have that as well.
The rest have little to do with my theme or colors.

Another question - in Ghave's colors, what cards move +1+1 counters off of and onto creatures? Particularly a permanent with an activated ability.
I was thinking of backups for Ghave's abilities

They can you know...not block? Like I see three ways your opponent loses his commander.

1) He is bad at reading and blocks
2) He is dead if he doesn't block, and it's essentially an upside since he can't recast it
3) You stoneforge it into play, equip to creature with leonin shikari. Wait I don't even know if this works after blockers are declared?

This *IS* the EDH thread and I've seen all those played in various decks from time to time.

Not really. The commander replacement effect will make it so that Godsend never exiles a commander.

Hmm. To be honest I hadn't thought about the command zone replacement as Godsend says 'you may exile one of those creature'. Thought it would take the choice away from my opponent.

This IS the commander thread.

WOTC:
" If your commander would go to the graveyard or the exile zone from anywhere, you may put it into the command zone instead."

Sweet sword bro.

Not a fan of it. You can't really cheat that into play, and the CC is too high for the tuck effect.

Recover from board wipes, including your own
Sacrifice effects (Any Strip-land, Vampire Hexmage, Viridian Zealot)
Discard effects (Mind Over Matter, Faerie Macabre and Elvish/Simian Spirit Guides)
Draw spells (Thought Scour and Careful Study on the level of Ancestrall)
Removal, ramp, burn, mutual discard, ANY spells (Swords to Plowshares/Hero's Downfall, Three Visits, Lightning Bolt, Dleirum SKeins/Burning Inquiry/Windfall)
Any spells that put cards into graveyard (Genesis Wave, Mulch, Grisly Salvage)
Resilient to mill
Resilient to having your graveyard thrown back at you

Doesn't have an instant effect that qualifies as a finisher, but really secures your place in the long haul.

I'm playing her in Derevi, focusing on incredible card advantage and tapping permanents (she's great all around in this deck). But looking for suggestions for other degenerate cards that work with her ultimate.
What would you play with her?
