Chainer, Dementia Master

Chainer, Dementia Master is a graveyard-powered reanimation engine that turns your discard pile into an army of Nightmares. You fill your graveyard early through discard outlets, mill effects, and self-mill, then use Chainer's activated ability to reanimate creatures as black Nightmares. Each creature that hits the board gets a +1/+1 boost from Chainer, making your reanimated threats immediately relevant. The deck wins through aggressive reanimation, swinging with a growing army of Nightmares while Chainer himself grows stronger.

Your core game plan is to abuse cheap graveyard fillers and discard outlets to stock your graveyard quickly, then convert that resource into a continuous stream of threats. Cards like Faithless Looting, Stitcher's Supplier, and Zombie Infestation help you fill the yard, while Chainer's repeatable reanimation lets you get value from creatures multiple times. Late game, you're threatening lethal with an evasive, growing board while your opponents struggle to interact with creatures that keep coming back from the yard.

The main weakness is Chainer's vulnerability—if he leaves the battlefield, your entire team exiles, so protect him and be mindful of instant-speed removal. Build around creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects or those that generate value before they can be removed, maximizing each reanimation cycle.
