Celes, Rune Knight fuels this deck by filtering into key pieces on entry, while her ability to reward casting or reanimating creatures from the graveyard with +1/+1 counters across the board incentivizes a reanimator gameplan centered on recurring large threats like Archon of Cruelty and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite through spells and cycling-based engines. The deck also assembles infinite blink loops using Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Felidar Guardian alongside enchantment-based reanimation or Ephemerate, generating infinite ETB and LTB triggers, infinite creature tokens, or exiling all opposing nonland permanents. Supporting this are tutors, discard outlets, and a deep cycling package that keeps the graveyard stocked and the hand moving toward the pieces needed to close the game.
