Archon of Cruelty: Classic value dude. Gets you stuff immediately, hits for 6 in the air, and continues to cause problems every turn he's alive. He's usually the best option.
Ancient Brass Dragon: Reanimate a Reanimator! Honestly kinda slow, not to mention inconsistent, but I got the extra large Bauldurs gate d20 and it's just so fun to roll!
Dreadfeast Demon: what if my zombies were demons instead? Obviously requires some work to make sure you have fodder, but even if your entire board gets eaten having a board full of 6/6s with evasion is a pretty good spot to be.
Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut: But what if instead of demons, they were Juggernauts?? Transforming everyone as soon as he arrives makes Graaz a big aggro play, and depending on boardstate may take out a player or two on the same turn. I've even had the "can't be blocked by walls" text be relevant (take that fog bank!)
So what are your favorite bigguns to bring back from the dead?
I have an Alesha commander deck (like any good trans person) so I'm pretty partial to [[Master of Cruelties]] (although ik it's not really a biggun, it can definitely make a splash)
Ha for sure! How do you usually win with Sire, do you take advantage of your grave-based nonsense like flashback etc, or just beat down with the demon?
(Also holy crap this comm has a working cardfetcher already?? 😍)
What I like least about using Ancient Brass Dragon is that the die roll starts the decision tree, so the card takes a long time to resolve each time as the owner can't easily decide what to get before it triggers.
I also play Sidisi, but I play it as Zombie Tribal. My usual go-to Dread Return target is Gravespawn Sovereign, which then lets me reanimate a bunch of other things, often including Craterhoof Behemoth.
