Toxrill Reanimator
HistoricDeck Strategy
A Grixis control deck that fills the graveyard and reanimates Toxrill, the Corrosive to overwhelm the opponent with slime tokens and debuffs.
- Strategic Planning, Chart a Course, Consider, and Lightning Axe fill the graveyard while providing card selection and removal.
- Assemble from Parts and Bond of Revival reanimate Toxrill or Ulamog at a discount.
- Toxrill generates slime tokens and shrinks opposing creatures, while Ulamog exiles key permanents.
- Kroxa provides an additional discard outlet and a recurring threat from the graveyard.
Keep hands with at least two lands, a discard outlet (Lightning Axe, Strategic Planning, Chart a Course, or Consider), and a reanimation spell (Assemble from Parts or Bond of Revival). Against aggro, prioritize early removal like Fatal Push or Lightning Axe. Against control, look for card selection and protection like Negate.
Early: Use cheap removal and discard outlets to survive and fill the graveyard with Toxrill or Ulamog. Mid: Reanimate a threat with Assemble from Parts or Bond of Revival, preferably Toxrill to stabilize. Late: Use Toxrill's slime tokens and Ulamog's exile effects to close out the game. Kroxa can be escaped for additional pressure.
- Graveyard hate (e.g., Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) can disrupt the reanimation plan.
- Fast aggro decks can overwhelm if we don't draw enough early interaction.
- Countermagic can stop our reanimation spells; we have Negate but need to time it well.
- The deck can be slow and vulnerable to combo decks.
