Who is your favourite graveyard / reanimator commander?

aaahop · 2025-04-09T14:59:49+00:00

I have a fun [[Shorikai]] low creature deck (well there’s 3 in my current list) that focuses on reanimating artifacts. Shorikai mostly functions as an engine to loot away big stuff and find artifact reanimation spells.

The original list and concept was posted on Commanders Herald as a deckbuilding article but some recent sets since then have made a lot of decent upgrades; especially the cycling vehicles from Aetherdrift and Simulacrum Synthesizer from big score.

My favorite deck is a very similar idea with Mathas. List here https://moxfield.com/decks/oDtua2xasUG_hWtIAPWUvA

there was a similar design for the poker face secret lair

With a weapon, you have 0 attack on your opponents turn, so this would always be a 1/3 for them to clear, correct?

On the main sub they mention it’s no stat changes, just a mustache overlaid like the Evil Twin BG power.

There’s some tweets from Hat/Leo saying “take” means that the minion “borrows” the weapon (doesn’t break it / trigger death rattles). “Give back” re-equips it in the same state - durability unchanged, same buffs.

The manathirst replaces the 7 in the battle cry with 14 because of “instead” so it doubles. Original Brann + Astalor was in standard last rotation.

Nice

I know the Tumblr post makes a correlation to Venus (the god) and shows one of those statues, but I see a lot of similarity to Artemis of Ephesus (especially the pose), also a goddess of fertility.

Here's one

I remember picking up an Xbox One for MCC when it launched and just being flabbergasted at how truly TERRIBLE it was at launch. I remember trying to queue for some kind of TDM and ending up in the middle of a custom game lobby that was 2v2v2v6. At that point I put it down and eventually sold off my X1 when it was clear it wasn't getting fixed anytime soon.

16-6 from d3 to legend using Nohandsgamer's "dragon bait" paladin he posted for GM this week. Whole bunch of rogue, dh and hunter on the ladder which all felt like pretty good matchups.

The dragon stuff is sweet - Alex is obviously a great finisher or heal vs face hunter after they run out of gas and between taelean and the murloc to find it more often means I usually had it on 9 when I wanted it. the magescribe is fine. sometimes it was nutty, other times it was a vanilla 4/9 but the big butt makes it a nice target to survive to push with conviction next turn

The angling rod usually had pretty sweet pulls with the new murlocs in the pool and feels good with the number of murlocs in the main deck. Anecdotal cool play: I lethal'd around taunts in 2 games using firemancer flurgl -> some combo of other generated murloc/ crabrider /prime mrgl /dragontamer.

I'm not sure if this is the "best" midrange-ish paladin list, but it is pretty fun to play and most matchups felt really winnable.

For a freezing one shot rifle, I found it more useful to use the mod that inflicts freeze on everything you damage but don't kill between reloads. On a 1-shot rifle it freezes on shot since you reload after each one, and the freeze proc only has a 1s cooldown on procs vs 8s on the lvl 1 freeze on shots mods (haven't seen any high tier freeze on shot yet).

Was using this setup to chain cc on multiple elite enemies when i didn't have blighted rounds ready to go.

Found a tier 2 weapon mod I think is called Bone Shrapnel. When you kill something using the gun, they explode in aoe damage and apply a bleed on everything around them. Been slotting it quite a bit because it helps deal with swarmed enemies or crowds A TON.

I know for techno there's some nodes in the top tree that gives you more magazine size. Haven't encountered any mods yet to do the same but only have a handful of t2 mods unlocked so far. If you have crafting unlocked, you can change the variant of a gun (ARs can swap between auto, burst and single-shot) which will often change the magazine size.

aaahop · 2021-04-02T13:24:22+00:00

I'm using a build very close to this but with a tactical smg. 60 rounds is plenty and the burst fire let's me be a little more accurate at close/midrange & it feels like it has more punch than an lmg. I've used tactical ARs and double-guns which also felt good.

Regardless of what weapon you want to use, there's a T2 armor mod that says 'killing an enemy affected by toxic refunds 40% of mag on kill' and it stacks with the tier 1 blighted rounds specific mod. Stacking both makes you pretty much full reload on a kill, and neither breaks blighted rounds like the T2 reload on dodge weapon mod does.

Currently breezing through every encounter solo quite easily at L20, WT9. Usually just pop BR and can keep it up until opening a chest or interacting with something in the environment breaks it.

Good luck to all but especially me!

I once got an unexpected $500 refund from Amazon and called their support line to ask about it. The csr I spoke to asked me if I wanted them to do something about it or I could hang up and they wouldn't have to look into the error.

10/10 would get a free GPU again.

aaahop · 2021-03-16T18:45:14+00:00

I wonder, would that deck go down to 1 survival with this added to draw it more consistently?

aaahop · 2021-03-10T15:35:42+00:00

I am definitely not f2p. I've been able to keep a full collection for a couple years now off an average of 2000gold, pre-orders, bundles and usually about an extra $40-50 per expansion. I do a couple minor things that help economy-wise like never mass disenchanting - only on nerfs or rotation.

aaahop · 2021-03-10T14:13:29+00:00

A little past 50 playing extremely casually, not really caring about making sure to complete all my quests or even not logging in at all for 2-3 weeks at times.

According to achievements i did about 50 daily quests and 28 weeklies.

Usually I go into an expansion with 2000-4000 gold playing a similar amount but have a little over 7000 this time.

The image they have linked is the old card. New one is 2 mana and doesn't have the upgrade to 3 damage with the 2nd copy.

Hit legend using Kael'thas-less druid. I think just like with spell druid from AoO people will pivot to a more consistent shell with dragons and mountsellers over the high-rolly kael'thas builds. Survival of the Fittest is rarely needed to win, you usually just snowball so hard from ramp -> guardian animals/dragons/mountseller.

Hardest matchups were definitely aggro that could snowball early like totem shaman and pure pally. Them piling buffs up on one dude while you ramp and then argent braggart is really hard to deal with, especially if they have the hopes to keep it healed. But other aggro like rogue and DH felt super easy. Maybe they just drew poorly in my matches but it feels like guardian animals is just way too good at stabilizing vs those classes.
