The ShiftstonedEternal Power Calculator is a deck-building tool that visualizes your odds of drawing enough Influence and Power based specifically on the cards found in your deck.
Big fan here. My name is Alain and we met on your video about Praxis Horns. But this deck seems strictly worse than Feln reanimator. What I was playing around with is the concept of LifeForce reanimator. What if you drop Primal entirely and add in Xenan initiations and Auric interrogators to A) keep the draw power and B) Make your shadowlands tyrants becomes especially nasty reanimator targets that become VERY oppressive especially since his “ping” damage will start to become removal. It will also activate means to an end just as much as Harbinger. You could then fit in a few Memory dredgers to re-use your dream snatchers for more means triggers.
Then consider Katra (if she fits but as it is idk where to cut any further).
Basically: make this a LifeForce reanimator deck. It’ll ease up your influence requirements too. Scribe AND Dreamsnatcher on turn 2 AND having to find influence for primal sounds like a nightmare
Hi there, thanks for the suggestions! I think going Life Force with reanimation is a sound plan. But I think once we add in another theme, we are going to have to probably reduce the amount of cards we devote to reanimation.
Probably take out 1-2 Varas, the Means to an End, 2-3 grasp in shadows and just add in the usual good Xenan cards like Interrogators, Xenan Initiations, maybe even Impending Dooms. I think Dredgers' stats are too low and we have too few cards for it to return and that is too much variance. I rather use the the Dooms to close out a game faster.
But that'll take some testing. I haven't played with this deck for a while, maybe I'll hop into some games and see if I can make a Life Force version!
So I’ve been testing it just with like 2-3 Vara’s and 2 Means to an end and I’ve found that it works! However, unlike standard Feln reanimator we are missing out on Haunting scream plays which are huge. The tradeoff is that in Xenan having Lifesteal helps tremendously against Aggro and Ayan into Katra is powerful. Especially when you bring everything back and retain value from buffs and killer. The draw engine is ok. Not bad at all but not as great as Feln. I’ll continue to share as I tweak
