Episode description
The In Response crew breaks down the return of Blue-Black Reanimator in Legacy following recent bannings. Troll of Khazad-dûm is gone, but the archetype is back—and possibly stronger than before.
In this episode, we cover:
The new streamlined build (Entomb, Reanimate, Atraxa, Aon)
Why 19 lands and 2 Undercity Sewers matter
Comparing Reanimator to Blue-Black Tempo in strategy & threat profiles
Sideboarding tricks to conceal the combo plan
The role of graveyard hate in the current metagame
Hypothetical bans: Entomb? Tamiyo? Atraxa? Nothing?
Plus: Why Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student might be quietly dominating—and how it could be the next card on the radar.
