Character Background
The Pyramid of Mars blends thematic menace with practical graveyard engineering: its immediate and upkeep surveil 2 constantly mills or sifts key cards into your graveyard, while the planar chaos trigger films as a repeatable reanimation button that returns a creature from your graveyard to the battlefield. This plane best supports a value/reanimator game plan—surveil sets up targets, fuels delve/dredge lines, and protects combo pieces by burying them until you can bring them back. Deckbuilding tip: lean into cheap self‑mill and discard (Faithless Looting, Cathartic Reunion, Entomb) or delve threats (Gurmag Angler) and include multiple high-impact reanimation targets and ETB creatures so each chaotic return maximizes value; creatures with persistent death triggers or powerful enters-the-battlefield effects are ideal. Remember chaos is intermittent, so prioritize redundancy and recurring graveyard engines rather than single-shot combos, and plan your timing around likely chaos windows in Planechase play to turn thematic “chaos” into consistent battlefield advantage.
