Are you a fan of Reanimator or Show and Tell in Eternal formats? Do you want to play Atraxa in Standard without giving in to the pressures of playing Domain Ramp? Now you can!
This past weekend, Austin Hoth made the top eight of a 38-player RCQ playing four-color Squirming Emergence, a reanimator-style deck that dumps your library into your graveyard and then returns all your game-enders to the battlefield!
If you couldn’t tell from the deck's name, the strategy revolves around a single card: Squirming Emergence. You can reanimate anything you want as long as you have plenty of permanents in your graveyard.
This could be a creature like Atraxa or Titan of Industry to dominate the board state, or another powerful permanent like Portal to Phyrexia or One with the Multiverse to gain an insane card advantage over your opponents. Squirming Emergence is Standard’s newest Show and Tell!
The deck features many cards that loot, mill, or surveil the key pieces into your graveyard to support this strategy. If you accidentally put your Squirming Emergences into the graveyard, no worries; Founding the Third Path can still turn them on. Even if your opponent manages to remove all of your Squirming Emergences, you have a powerful backup plan with the Invasion of Tolvada.
Even if plan A AND plan B fail, all is still not lost. The mana base is well-equipped to cast all your payoffs for their normal mana costs. As long as you survive long enough, you can hard-cast everything in your deck.
While Domain Ramp can reliably get Atraxa on the battlefield by turn five, this deck can get her out as quickly as turn three! Or imagine you get a One with the Multiverse onto the battlefield on turn four and then use it to cast Atraxa for free! If you enjoy doing incredibly powerful things for very little mana, this is the deck for you!
