The Blind Eternities

Commander / EDH

BrainTaste


Fear it . . . Dread it . . . Run from it. . . Kozilek comes in the end.

The Eldrazi are an ancient race native to the Blind Eternities that have neither physical form nor color alignment. Their nature is ceaseless hunger, so they travel between planes devouring the mana and life energy until the plane’s destruction. Three Eldrazi titans were bound on Zendikar in aeons past: Emrakul, Ulamog, and Kozilek.

It is unknown whether more titans exist elsewhere in the multiverse. Each titan lives outside of the planes. When one wants to feed, it extends a part of its "body" into the plane, to create a physical manifestation of itself there, as well as an army of drones that are extensions of its body and will.

The spirit dragon Ugin compared this to a man sticking his hand into a pool of water; the man being the Eldrazi titan and the water a plane. The fish—those who dwell on the plane—see only a part of the man—his hand. Likewise, the inhabitants of a plane can see only a part of each titan. Even if the titans appear to be independent beings, their physical forms are just part of a greater entity outside the plane. The same is true for every drone that the Eldrazi had created; they are all just part of the titan that made them.

THE GAME PLAN:

We take the standard approach to colorless, in that we play out our hand ramping, but using Kozilek, we get to refill out hands with removal and answers once we cast our commander. In this deck we typically beat face to win our games, we do have two back up plans for when things get messy.

PLAN A

BEAT FACE

PLAN B (Combo-1)

Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith to generate infinite mana and cast Walking Ballista for a billion counters and start shooting the opponents.

PLAN C (Combo-2)

Get Nevinyrral's Disk online with Darksteel Forge and blow our opponents into oblivion.

THE RINGS COMBO: EXPLAINED

Precursors: Rings of Brighthearth, Basalt Monolith, .

With Rings, and BM on the field + :

A) Tap BM for .

B) Untap BM using the generated from BM - This triggers Rings.

C) Pay to copy Rings from any source to copy the Untap ability on BM.

D) With two untap triggers on the stack, let the first untap trigger resolve, untapping your BM, leaving one untap on the stack.

E) In response to the second Untap, tap your BM to generate .

F) Let the second untap trigger resolve, untapping your BM

G) Tap your BM to generate - There is now in your mana pool. You have now generated more than you need to reset the combo. Repeat steps to generate inifinte mana.
