Goryo’s Vengeance is a reanimator-combo deck that combines explosive graveyard plays with a strong control shell. The deck’s primary plan is to reanimate Atraxa, Grand Unifier or Griselbrand with haste for a burst of both damage and value using the namesake card, Goryo’s Vengeance. Fallaji Archaeologist and Psychic Frog help stock the graveyard, while Ephemerate can blink a reanimated creature, allowing it to stay on the battlefield.
The deck can threaten explosive turns as early as turn 2–3, but it isn't completely dependent on the combo. Its discard, countermagic, removal, and flexible creatures let it play the long game when the reanimation plan isn't on the table.
