He's right, you couldn't play the vengeance because there's no time between progenitus going to the graveyard and being shuffled, this unfortunately wouldn't work

Tokens cannot get undying because as soon as they hit the graveyard they are exiled before undying can be used, so might wanna take out unhallowed for another lunarch. In this particular token deck, i'd say honor is better than intangible. Other than that, nice deck
Ulamog can totally work if you play him different. Another thing to point out your Artisan of Kozilek will not work in the way you want, because it specifically says "When you cast" the artisan, and reanimating him isn't casting him, so he won't be able to bring another out from the graveyard with him. Check out my reanimation deck if you want, its built a bit different
Oh good sir I like your thinking...Changed out two different ones that had no real impact for the combo listed above, can't wait to see how it works with Ezuri's overrun spell heh
Ha he's just mad because he has to constantly face my deck as well, listed below: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=270437 Props to another reanimator tho :D
I was originally going to do that, but 4 demonic tutors woulda added $100 to the cost of this deck alone, so I decided to go with diabolic heh :\
Glad you like it :) Honestly I considered between Emrekel or him, but it was another argument of 15 mana vs 11, and as I said between nirkana and dark rituals, ulamog can be out by turn 5-6, if you did it right, so I decided to go with him
Last changes (PROMISE!) but to cover a bit more, I put leyline of the void into the side deck, put it in against other reanimate decks, and it could possibly be a opening hand neuter card, or against anything that takes from graveyard. In replacement of that, i added prince of thralls, with all the sacrifices and annihilators on the field, its gunna hurt or make you entirely fatter with his ability Took out the victim of the nights for the instant tribute to hunger. I realize that it makes an opponent choose, but they are more of a early game life-recovering thing. Lets say again that they have 2 monsters on the field, their fat and not so fat, if Sheoldred is out, of course they are getting rid of their non-fat, play that instant next, bam its dead and you get life to its toughness, and it both goes through shroud and indestructible. Decided on that route to better cover the weak points of this deck
Deck was changed a bit, took out the sphinx and victimize to add gate of phrexia and leyline of the void
I am fully aware Ulamog can't be in the graveyard. He has multiple uses 1. Between Nirakana and dark rituals, you can have him on the field if you choose by roughly midgame 2. You can't be tapped out unless he's exiled, once all your spell cards are sitting in the grave yard, discard him and they are all back in your deck. 3. For a incredibly potent move that you can pull on a stalemated game: Have your grimoire out with 2 tokens, ulamog and something else in your hand, play damnation, clear the board (including yours), then tap another mana, discard something, and play grimoire. Your field is back exactly how it was, and your opponent has nothing (unless indestructible). At that point, most of your spells/sorcs will be in the graveyard, use an ability from hidden horror as they come into the game from the graveyard if they were out or the imp, to discard ulamog, then shuffle your graveyard back in your deck. You now have a almost full deck and all of your fats previously on the board, while your opponent (unless they countered you, and you should have Iona blocking blue by that point to stop it) will have an empty field, and some lands, and awaiting a massacre. I'm fully aware he's a double-edged sword, but the fact that you have the methods to bring him out fairly early, and his utility around his ability, makes his pros worth more than his cons in my opinion. I'm also aware that the 3rd part i mentioned could be stopped in many different ways, but MOST of the time, thats what would happen if you played the deck right
