Huh, I didn't realize Dark Ritual had gone up that much, but that makes sense. It's a very good card in decks that have explosive uses for it. As was mentioned, you might find it for cheap, I got most of mine when I bought some cards from people I knew (stuff that had rotated out for example). While I got a lot of stuff like this I also got a handful of Dark Rituals! I hope you can find some, they're a really amazing Legacy card, and they cost next to nothing.
Since I don't have anywhere to practice Legacy play atm, I often test decks people post vs stuff I've homebrewed. When I was testing this vs my Pox deck (it's a midrangey Control list that can be incredibly slow) it was a big issue if your deck couldn't reanimate Armada Wurm, that second body is a real hassle in Legacy, where people rarely use wipes. Many decks can pass a single removal check, but two of them can be crippling, and being able to do this each time you reanimate an Armada Wurm played well. Roar was a convenient card relatively early, a 6/6 vanilla is still a must answer threat IMHO, and 3G from your graveyard for it seems playable (it outclasses my Pox deck's various 5/5s). Vs my Affinity deck you were just way too slow to compete (the answer would probably be to run Serenity, Seeds of Innocence, or Force of Vigor, and you'd put them in a sideboard I think), that's why I felt some ramp might help, if you can cast a 4 drop a turn early it'll feel quite good.
As for what to pull, I feel like you should leave at least 1 Armada Wurm, and I'd hate to see Roar go if you add Augur of Skulls, the main problem with Roar seems to be that card sucks to draw early/have in your opener, Augur gives you a way to bin it. Anyways, Rite is one of the worse reanimation options, it's hard to cast either way, and it's pretty bad to mill, so I could see you cutting it (I've seen people use Dread Return like Balaam mentions, it's even got Flashback fwiw). I really don't like Boneyard Wurm very much in practice, if you have it early it'll be bad value for mana, and late game it's still just a vanilla beater, I'd play Ornithopter over that.
This is a bit random, while I'm pretty confident most Dredge stuff wouldn't make sense in here, I do wonder about Dakmor Salvage? It's not a fantastic card, but if you can mill it you can mill more cards to 'draw' it? It's an ETB tapped land so it could hurt you later game a bit, but this deck felt like one that could fit a tapped land into it's curve. Maybe try x1 or x2 in place of swamps?

I love the theme here. Legacy has access to a multitude of great reanimation spells. Consider some of the following: Exhume, Animate Dead, Goryoâs Vengeance,
Reincarnation, Reanimate, Dance of the Dead, Victimize, Rise of the Witch-king and Dread Return. Some are far better than others but probably out of budget, others are dirt cheap but less effective, and some might hit that sweet spot between cost effective and utility when paired with other cards.
Perhaps a reanimation âengineâ of sorts is what youâre looking for, where high costed Wurms are deliberately milled or discarded and brought back into play at a huge cost reduction.

DemonDragonJ I'm not going to look through your various decks, but if you're looking for actually playable reanimation spells, there is Victimize, Animate Dead, Dread Return, Reanimate, Goryo's Vengeance, Persist, Chthonian Nightmare, Unburial Rites, Priest of Fell Rites, etc

Quick headsup: You propably got Stick Together mixed up with another card.
Regarding cards to maybe consider:
Ill-Gotten Gains is a great card for many decks. You can use it for recursion, but it's also quite the house when used offensively. There are situations where this just tears any well-prepared plans your opponents might have had to shreds.
Containment Construct can be cheap redundancy if your commander is out of reach for some reason.
Thran Vigil can be another nifty payoff for cards leaving your grave.
Oversold Cemetery is easy reacursion.
Dread Return is a great reanimation spell for decks filling the yard.
legendofa on MASSIVE EDH RC ban list âĤ
4 months ago
Mortlocke I appreciate the response. And I get the feeling of key cards being banned, both for deck building and for finances (Extended -> Modern Reanimator Dredge: Golgari Grave-Troll, Dread Return, Deathrite Shaman, Bridge from Below, Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis, Faithless Looting,...), and the turn 1 eight mana was kind of an exaggeration. I don't think there's too much to worry about, though. Unless I'm forgetting something, the last ban was Golos, Tireless Pilgrim more than three years ago, so the RC doesn't seem to be super ban-happy. Sol Ring isn't going anywhere for now, and the other fast mana cards speed the game up by one turn, not three, so I think they're safe too. I might be naively optimistic, but I think the fetch lands and ABUR duals are as much a part of the game as Sol Ring, and again they don't provide 3+ mana. I'm more concerned about Strip Mine and Wasteland, honestly.

I have the Necron Dynasties precon that's currently being upgraded, let me know what I should add next or remove to make it more appealing and competitive in the casual pod. This seems to be a really good commander deck full of sacrifices. Here's the list of the cards on the deck:
Illuminor Szeras Grim Haruspex Scrapyard Recombiner Gate to the Afterlife Sojourner's Companion Dross Scorpion Frogmite Smothering Abomination Meteor Golem Noxious Gearhulk Workshop Assistant Diabolic Tutor Scrap Trawler Marionette Master Foundry Inspector Gray Merchant of Asphodel Myr Retriever Disciple of the Vault Staff of Domination Psychomancer Triarch Praetorian Dread Return Cranial Plating Mask of Memory Sol Ring Barren Moor Myriad Landscape Arcane Signet Mind Stone Wayfarer's Bauble Desert of the Glorified Vault of Whispers Anrakyr the Traveller Chronomancer Cryptek Lokhust Heavy Destroyer Necron Deathmark Out of the Tombs Royal Warden Shard of the Nightbringer Shard of the Void Dragon Skorpekh Lord Technomancer Their Name is Death Their Number is Legion Trazyn the Infinite Canoptek Scarab Swarm Canoptek Spyder Canoptek Tomb Sentinel Cryptothrall Ghost Ark Sceptre of Eternal Glory Tomb Fortress Living Death Reliquary Tower Mutilate Caged Sun Mystic Forge Sculpting Steel 30 Swamp
