Orzhov Solar Flare

I’ve been whining like a little bitch that we don’t have a zombify in the format, that since they gave one to us, I feel obligated to build a deck around it even though I am not a huge believer in it. The MAIN thing that I like is that one of our big hits can just be played fair at 4 mana. Overlord is just an incredibly powerful “fair” card and so is Liliana, so we don’t have the problems a normal reanimator deck has, we can just beat them through RIPs and what not. Hell Splitskin just starts cantripping once Overlord is in play.

Jund Lich-Knights’ Reanimator

A different take on reanimator. Dan pointed out to me that you could sac the overlords to Lich-Knights’ Conquest and get them back. Pretty slick little curve. We basically are playing a few sections of cards:

• Cheap interaction
• 2 mana enchantment that mills and leaves tokens behind
• 3 mana enchantment that ramps
• 5 Mana payoff

Splashing the red sucks (G Overlord needs 18 green sources for t3), but Fable is just so perfectly positioned in decks like this I think its worth it. Especially since Heaped Harvest and Overlord are built in fixing we are looking to play anyway. Once we are splashing Red, Korvold is great with all the random permanents we have around, its a fine reanimation target, and of course its an insane card to have in play if you get to resolve a Lich-Knights’ Conquest.

Ingenious Smith Orzhov Value

We mentioned Splitskin Doll as maybe just a fair-ish card, combining it with the UFO Hovership to make Ingenious Smith a Tarmogoyf that can draw a card. Not sure on the rest of the shell, but I love Delney with Doll and Smith, all well as Bronco. As usual these fairish decks are a blast to play, but might just be a little too underpowered.
