Sideboard


Maybeboard


This deck is designed to mirror heavy Eldrazi creatures onto as many smaller, low-cmc creatures as possible using Deceiver of Form. I have included Walker of the Wastes in the Main deck because it is the lower budget option, however these could be replaced by more Bane of Bala Geds and Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hungers as both would be stronger options. Walker is still reliable as it grows with the number of Wastes you have on the board, and has Trample.

T1 - Forest, Blisterpod (kill for token asap)

T2 - Wastes, Ruin

T3 - Land, Summoner (From Beyond as alternative), Second Ruin (if available)

T4 - Land, Deceiver, Stoneforge Masterwork

T5+ Highest creature return per mana (Call the Scions, Brood Monitor etc). Wait for your big Eldrazi to hit the top of the deck.

Any feedback welcome to build on this. I've experimented a little with Reclaim to force a desired creature to the top of the library from the graveyard, but it tends to be a 'stars aligned' kind of thing and I feel like it's better to have more heavy Eldrazi in the deck than relying on discarding or having one killed.

This deck can also veer off into a secondary strat of using Stoneforge Masterwork and mass tokens, or simply dropping Walker of the Wastes with 3-4 Wastes down. In essence it's not super vulnerable if the main strat doesn't line up correctly.

Still looking for any feedback to refine this deck. Will hopefully be gathering the final touches to this (ie the Ulamogs) for my paper version to try it out at an FNM. Currently still only testing in MTGO with reasonable results, but feels like it is somewhat vulnerable to token decks that can flood the board with creatures.

EDIT: 19/03/2016 - I've been looking at some other decks around the interwebz that focus on taking advantage of Deceiver of Form and a lot are saying to use Breaker of Armies but I'm a little confused. On Gatherer it states in the Rules section that, " If more than one Breaker of Armies is attacking, the controller of each creature that could block them chooses which one that creature blocks. In this case, creatures that can block multiple creatures must block as many attacking Breaker of Armies as possible." The first sentence reads to me like the defending player to multiple Breakers can then just choose which Breaker to block with each creature they have, thus nulling the effect of Breaker (forcing all creatures to block it). Which to me makes it not worth using as a target for Deceiver.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Have I interpreted this correctly?
