Graveyard reanimation decks?
Is it possible, used to play one a very very long time ago, what does one in 2024 look like?

You're in luck. The card "Reanimate" is in standard right now, along with a few really good other graveyard love cards.

It's not in Standard, it's on the Breaking News bonus sheet. So you might see it limited but it's not legal in Standard.

You'll probably have a rough time in Bo3 Standard because you'll get hit by all the graveyard hate there for Temur Worldsoul. But graveyard hate isn't uncommon in sideboards even at other times so you might be able to play through it, although it'll probably be rougher the slower the format is

How much mana does Temur Worldsoul require? I have a GY based deck and it can do well even after getting hit with Tormod's crypt.

Basically my strategy, and this is just for fun so maybe not the most effective, was to mill for cards, like Satyr wayfinder, so i'm always gaining something, then whenever i can bring a good card back that's maybe not dependent on the GY, basically using the GY as a resource quickly before being hit with the crypt since it's one-use.

But if it's "exile a card" or something from GY every turn, idk how you would really defend against that, aside from milling faster maybe.




It's also less of a re-animate deck and more like (put things in GY, plop a nighthowler or wreath of geists on some good card like Banehound for a heavy hit) kind of thing.

That's another thing, there are many different types of Graveyard decks. Some reanimate, some exile cards for benefits, or just use the GY as a quick power-up while milling (er i'm not sure if it's called that or something else, when you look at 4 cards then pick one, but whatever)
