Strategy

The Esper Reanimator deck in Modern is a powerful and strategic deck that focuses on cheating big creatures into play from the graveyard. The deck utilizes cards like Unburial Rites and Persist to reanimate creatures like Archon of Cruelty and Mulldrifter. The strategy of the deck is to disrupt your opponent's game plan with cards like Thoughtseize and Counterspell while setting up your graveyard with cards like Faithful Mending and Unmarked Grave. Once you have enough cards in your graveyard, you can reanimate powerful creatures and overwhelm your opponent with their abilities. Some of the good points of the deck include its ability to quickly reanimate powerful creatures, its disruption package to control the game, and its flexibility in dealing with different types of threats. The deck can also have explosive turns where you can reanimate multiple creatures in a single turn, putting immense pressure on your opponent. However, the deck also has some weaknesses. It can be vulnerable to graveyard hate cards like Leyline of the Void, which can shut down your reanimation strategy. The deck can also struggle against fast aggro decks that can pressure you before you can set up your graveyard. Overall, the Esper Reanimator deck is a fun and powerful deck that can be very rewarding to pilot. It offers a unique playstyle that combines graveyard synergies with control elements, making it a versatile and interesting choice for Modern players.
