My inspiration for this deck came today while I was watching the pro tour. Ever since Vile Aggregate was first spoiled, I've wanted to build an all eldrazi deck around it. When I saw that a R/U Eldrazi list made top 8, I knew I wanted to make a standard version with all my favorite Eldrazi. I will be the first to admit that this deck is not built to top 8 a star city open, but ohhhhman is it a ton of fun to play at your local shop when it curves out (which is often.) The strategy is actually very simple: curve out with giant, aggressively costed creatures and run over your opponent. There's just enough disruption to pull it off most of the time, and the Crumble to Dust/Oblivion Sower package is brutal against the nonbasic heavy meta. Often times the one-two punch of crumble to dust into an Oblivion Sower is enough to close out games. Make no mistake though: Vile Aggregate, Herald of Kozilek, and Matter Reshaper are the backbone(s?) of this deck. All of which are extremely useful on T3 or otherwise. The rest of the eldrazi kind of speak for themselves.

I encourage anyone looking to try an interesting new twist on standard Eldrazi to try this list at your local FNM. I don't think you'll be disappointed. :)

+1 if you're an Eldrazi lover like me, or if you just like the deck!

Gameday OGW 3-1-1 TOP 8 — Feb. 14, 2016

Edit

Took this list to my lcs for game day and did extremely well. Beat 3 and 4 color rally, R/G Eldrazi ramp and tied to Bant CoCo. Only loss of the night was to a 4 color dragon list. Terrible draws and my opponent's god draws led to me losing 2-1 in a close 3rd game where we raced. This deck has a glaring weakness to giant flyers, being so close to the ground. Unfortunately I had to drop once I made top 8 but if I were able to stay, I think I had a shot at champion based on the other top 8 decks I saw. Crumble to Dust was an all-star and did major work all night against the nonbasic heavy meta, and gave me the major tempo swings I needed to run over my opponents with my giant Eldrazi. Spatial Contortion also performed admirably and forced some sneaky wins by targeting my own Reality Smasher on several occasions. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this list at the moment but will continue to iterate as is necessary.
