Goryo's Vengeance is a reanimator-combo deck aiming to cheat Atraxa, Grand Unifier or Griselbrand into play via Goryo's Vengeance (an Instant), which Consign to Memory cannot stop since it only counters triggered abilities or colorless spells, not this colored instant itself — instead hold Counterspell and Force of Negation for the Goryo's Vengeance/Faithful Mending itself, and use Consign to Memory on Atraxa's enters-the-battlefield trigger (including when blinked by Ephemerate) and Quantum Riddler's enters-the-battlefield trigger. Surgical Extraction can strip Goryo's Vengeance from hand and graveyard after it resolves once, or exile their reanimation target (Atraxa/Griselbrand) from the graveyard in response to Goryo's Vengeance, crippling redundancy. Spell Snare is mediocre since their key spells (Goryo's Vengeance at 2, but also disruption) are inconsistent 2-drops; trim for better interaction. Race aggressively with Ragavan and Dragon's Rage Channeler while holding up countermagic.
