Lonk Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think I might be doing it wrong, but, it's why I am posting it: Artifacts: 3x Eldrazi Monument 3x Quicksilver Amulet Creatures: 4x Bird of Paradise 2x Broodwarden 1x Emrakul, the Aeons Torn 3x Kozilek's Predator 1x Kozilek, Butcher of Truth 4x Llanowar Elves 4x Nest Invader 2x Ulamog's Crusher 1x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre Enchantment: 4x Awakening Zone 2x Eldrazi Conscription Land: 6x Eldrazi Temple 8x Forest Sorcery: 2x All is Dust 2x Explore 2x Explosive Vegetation 2x Harmonize 2x Skittering Invasion 2x Tooth and Nail So, how would I do this deck?

.Rai Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Eh. It's a good attempt at a deck for a new MtG player, but still needs a lot of improving. Just for clarity purposes, you can just call it G/B Eldrazi Spawn. Colourless never really needs a mana differentiation. What format are you playing? Because this could be any format really.

Lonk Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I play in Standard. So, what changes can be made in the deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Standard? The Zendikar block has already rotated out so I'm not sure what to fix if you want to make it standard-playable (considering there are no Eldrazi at all).

Lonk Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well, what is the format that Eldrazi decks usually play in? I still don't understand how the game rotation system works tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play in Modern which is like about 10 blocks or something. Extended is 4 blocks from Shards of Alara block to Innistrad block. For now though: -2 One with Nature (which is illegal in Standard, Extended and Modern) +2 Birds of Paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Lightray Daedalus- Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Eldrazi is the Timmy Theme for excelence...Nice first kick off NOW Let's go to some Basics here Number ONE! - When Deck Building you'll most likely want to how to say it...start for the very basic thing...in this case...the WIN CONDITION - You have that already; Summon an Eldrazi WIN THE GAME - Now we move out to the how to get to it. - Your primary feeling to run Green WAS CORRECT, Green is Specially a Good Color to play ELdrazi for 3 reasons 1) Green is the Color of the Fatties...so you know playing GREAT creatures in Green is the way to go 2) Green is the Color of Mana Ramping (Meaning it has quite a bunch cards that allows you to CHEAT in a way the 1 Land per turn rule, this way you can play bigger Spells faster as you'll have MOAR mana aviable sooner) 3) Green has some of the Best CHeapy Eldrazi Support (Nest Invader, Growth Spam, Awakening Zone) - Now When playing Decks that win by Puting a Huge Creature you most likely have 2 Options: 1) Ramp to Them 2) Cheat them some Way - For the First Way you can always go MONO Green or Combine with Draw cards Spells or other stuff - For the Second one you should Choose which Cards are better among your card pool that will let you PUT those card from your hand/Deck/Graveyard, Paying...or better said...NOT PAYING its actual cost tl;dr Advices on Deck Spells that'll let you CHEAT your Dudes: [url="http://magiccards.info/mi/en/134.html"]Tooth and Nail[/url] [url="http://magiccards.info/m10/en/67.html"]Polymorph[/url][color=#444444][font=Verdana][size=5] [/size][/font][/color] [url="http://magiccards.info/m12/en/214.html"]Quicksilver Amulet[/url] [url="http://magiccards.info/chk/en/193.html"]Through the Breach[/url] [url="http://magiccards.info/mi/en/230.html"]Proteus Staff[/url] Also 1 Kozilek, 1 Emrakul and 1 Ulamog should be enough for en Eldrazi Line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for the advice Dae. Now, I will improve the deck and, hopefully, will be better. I had a hunch that Green was the best way to go, considering that there are 3 Eldrazi Greens that are pretty much great. I'm going to go Mono-Green here. So, what is a great draw power for the deck?

It's a complicated format to play with the massive card pool. It makes 20x more sense to play Extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Well...Creature.dek is actually the easiest Deck to play in any formt...it is pretty much straight foward...play spells that let's you have LOTS of land to cast more stuff...faster...then drop something Big == WIN... Extended doesn't really have too much to offer to Eldrazi Decks that is Less complicated that the current way the build want to be played...IMO... But sure...TC...even when this is a fun Deck to play for newest players...since you are quite new at the game...like .Rai said you should be experimenting with the lastest Sets rather than going to down to the past...

Lonk Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Fair enough. I'm actually starting off with no format first, and I re-edited my deck to fit more Mana Acceleration. So, I will update soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
