Deck Description

Most of the cards in this deck came from a booster draft I recently attended. I drew a bunch of spells, at which point I realized that I needed to get some creatures. I saw Archaeomancer and realized I could get some of more powerful Instants/Sorceries out of my Grave yard with it. Earlier in the draft, I had picked up two Corpse Hauler's, which I noticed I could use with Archaemancer to bring back even more Instants/Sorceries from my graveyard.

How to Play

Play an Instant or Sorcery, like Volcanic Geyser or Flames of the Firebrand. The card Instant or Sorcery will then go to the graveyard. Play Archaeomancer to retrieve that card from the graveyard. Block attacking creatures with Archaeomancer until it is sent to the graveyard. [In essence, get Archaeomancer into the graveyard.] Use Corpse Hauler to return Archaeomancer to your hand. Repeat until either there are no Arhcaeomancer's or Corpse Hauler's left.
Note: If "Dismiss into Dreams" is drawn, play it immediately, because then Flames of the Firebrand can be split on three of your opponents creatures, and they will all be sent to the graveyard.

Deck discussion for Spell Retriever

Hey man, not a bad booster draft deck, just what youd expect from a beginner.
ill tell you now, im seeing alot of good recursion cards. and not enough cards to bring back.
you got "dismiss into dreams" which means you should have added some Burn to your deck, thinks like searing spear for example.
There biggest creature would just disapear even if searing spear wasnt enough to kill it.
anyways, take a look at some of my decks. This is your couzin btw.

also, if noone told you, a booster draft deck can have a minimum of 40 cards. maybe not at your game store, but you dont have to play a full 60 card deck at most booster drafts. you get to your better cards easier that way.
