Are they trying to build a reanimater deck?

Because otherwise, one with nothing is terrible.

Incidentally.... Footsteps of the Goryou doesnt give the reanimated creature haste?
DoH!

yikes! some nice anti-hand size critters. i really like a few of these though. Kiku's Shadow is a nice removal spell since it's not a "non-black" type of condition. also, i really like Razorjaw Oni. i could see him in a fun colorchange deck.

I really like the Kirin. The only thing that's weird about the cycle is that blue gets the biggest one o_0

Thanks R_E and rathi

These are awesome. Powerfull discard. The Kirin is SICK. Choice of Damnations is very, very cool. A real skilltester.
