Deck Description

From the idea by Thinker : http://www.mtgvault.com/thinker/decks/budget-standard-turn-5-kozilek/

But no more budget ! And Reanimate Dragons instead of Eldrazi.
Just because Dragons can do more when they came on the battlefield.

Mana base and deck is Sultai, but play all the five colors.

MAIN :

To dig Library and Hand :
Salvage Drone
Jace vryn's prodige
Taigam's scheming
Oath of jace --> (Draw 3 discard 2) more efficient than Artificer's Epiphany (Draw 2 Discard 1) + Scry if Jace is in Planeswalker mode or Kiora on the Battlefield.

To Speed up and to fix Mana Base:
Rattleclaw Mystic --> Reanimate could be done turn 4 and Help to play Dragons from hand)

To reanim :
Necromantic Summons--> Can be switched with Fearsome Awakening

Reanim target creatures :
Dragonlord Atarka : 5 damages and can be a 10/10 flying trample
Dragonlord Kolaghan : Haste Flying, can be a 8/7 and his effect can prevent some creature or planeswalker to be played
Dragonlord Silumgar : Can be a 5/7 Flying Deathtouch and his effect can be extremely powerfull.

Can also be a perfect target :
Dragonlord Dromoka
Silumgar the drifting death
Sagu Mauler
Maybe other creatures like Eldrazi or else.

To Draw :
Treasure Cruise

To clean the board :
OUT : 2x Crush of tentacles --> Test and it doesn't work. 6 mana it's too late and return Reflector Mage in opponent hand ... just ... well ...
IN : 2x Crux of Fate

Other :
Kiora

SIDEBOARD :
Under conctruction

Test a lot last night against a 4 colors Company with reflector mage
So I OUT : 2 Crush of tentacles and IN : 2 Crux of fate.
And add Narset Transcendant in side. Because Rebound Necromantic summons is powerfull :p
Also add Sagu Mauler and Silumgar the drifting Death because they have Hexproof. Reflector Mage can do nothing against that !!

Tounament yesterday, a small one. Ended with 2-2
1) First Match against an Eldrazi Control. I win the first because he was surprise that i play Reanimator deck. The second and the third were not the same as he manage to kill my jace early and discard my necromantic summons. 1-2 : loose

2) Second match against R/B/W Eldrazi aggro this time. With Eldrazi displacer.
The first game my opponent was slow. So when i reanim Atarka and then play Kolaghan, 2 turn and it was done.
The second game , he manage to lock the game with echants that exile my creatures. But i side my Sagu Mauler, so he can't manage that :p. We can't finish the game before the end of time. I win 1-0

3) Thrid Match, Control again. Nothing to say. My opponent is a good player with always insane deck. I wasn't able to lecture his play, and he locked me. Loose 0-2.

4) The last match again Eldrazi ramp. In the first game, my opponent can't ramp the way he want. So i go on fast, but can't find my Necromantic summons....until the moment i needed two Necromantics summons to win. Guess who draw 2 of them ? :p.
The second match, like the first, my opponent play a strange Eldrazi ramp...I killed his creatures and reanim Kolaghan. He can't play creatures because he would have take 10 from kolaghan capacity. He can't find a solution. Win. 2-0

I have to find a way against control....

OUT : Narset. Can't play her.

How to Play

Dragons on graveyard
Reanim
Win ! :-p

The deck is hard to pilot because of mana base and with a lot of turn 2 to play it's hard to know what to play at what time.
It depends on your first hand. Blue and Green mana are the most important to start, Black come second and Red and White are for the turn 6 when you can cast Dragons from your hand.
You can't start without a way to Draw\Discard such as Jace or Taigam's scheming.
The Salvage Drone is just here to block and his capacity is just a bonus. You can't start just with it as a looter.
Rattleclaw are not mean to be played as Morph in early turns. They are here to cast Necromantic Summons on turn 4.
Don't hesitate to discard 5 cards with Taigam's scheming on turn 2 or 3 when you have Tasigur in hand. A turn 3 Tasigur can block and maybe make som hit points.

Deck discussion for Sultai Dragons Reanimator

Nice build. I like the dragons above Eldrazi just cause the flying dragons just better once there on board. Just some of the Eldrazi effect entering the battlefield are deadly

Thanks !
Yes only few Eldrazi have direct effects when they arrived on board and they have alternative costs or they need to be cast from hand, like Ulamog or Kozilek. So even if you reanim them, they do not have an impact until the next turn.
