Rakdos Reanimator is effectively the same matchup as UBG Reanimator — a turn-one kill machine built around putting Griselbrand or Atraxa into play through Reanimate, Shallow Grave, and Animate Dead. Containment Priest is your premier hate piece, shutting down all reanimation permanently while it's in play and exiling any creature already cheated in. Consign to Memory provides free stack interaction to answer Reanimate, Animate Dead, or Shallow Grave mid-combo before the creature resolves. Surgical Extraction and Unlicensed Hearse attack the graveyard to deny targets entirely — extracting Griselbrand or Atraxa after a Faithless Looting completely disables their primary plan. Force of Will is non-negotiable to keep in hand for turn-one protection; never tap out on your opponent's first turn if you haven't established a hate piece.
