Grave Researcher // Reanimate + Biblioplex Tomekeeper + Proper Burial + Phyrexian Altar

Grave Researcher // Reanimate

Biblioplex Tomekeeper

Proper Burial

Phyrexian Altar

How it works

1. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Biblioplex Tomekeeper, adding .
2. Proper Burial triggers, causing you to gain 4 life.
3. Cast the copy of Reanimate from exile by paying , returning Biblioplex Tomekeeper from your graveyard to the battlefield and losing 4 life.
4. When Biblioplex Tomekeeper enters, it triggers, preparing Grave Researcher.
5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop relies on the constant recycling of Biblioplex Tomekeeper to continuously cast the Reanimate copy granted by a prepared Grave Researcher. As Biblioplex Tomekeeper enters the battlefield, its trigger readies Grave Researcher for another cast, while Phyrexian Altar provides the black mana needed to resolve Reanimate by sacrificing the Tomekeeper. Proper Burial ensures you stay comfortably ahead on life, offsetting the life loss from Reanimate by paying out life equal to the sacrificed creature's toughness every time it hits the graveyard.
