have you considered Thespian's Stage over Vesuva ? you can have it become Eldrazi Temple for the time being but if you get the complete set out of the urza's, you can then change it to Urza's Tower to make it produce one extra mana, and be able to cast anything not just eldrazis. just a thought in looking back at this deck.

I run Tron, and thespians stage is far more useful than Vesuva.

I really like this deck and Im looking into building one similar to it but a little bit cheaper. What are some good cards for this deck that are like under 15?

@CenturionRower: Use either Blightsteel Colossus or Darksteel Colossus as your fatties, Thespian's Stage instead of Vesuva , and just drop Karn Liberated .

have you considered running Lightning Greaves as they can come out on turn two and can basically just mean you get hasty eldrazi so they start annihilating immediately, also works on Palladium Myr for that turn 3 Myr Superion .

@baron_lazari: I like that idea a lot. What do you recommend removing to make room for them?

I think -1 Walking Atlas and -2 Mindslaver for +3 Lightning Greaves .

you could potentially make use of a Mimic Vat if you find things are dying often. you could even exile Kozilek if someone managed to kill him, resulting in a hasty kozilek every turn for 3 mana, or draw 3 cards with 6 from the hedron as well as giving you a way to steal opponent's creatures. Also, have you considered It That Betrays ?

I wanted to make a version of the deck thats 100 dollars cheaper. Any suggestions?

If you do that, you'll cut almost $200. If you want to keep the eldrazi, then just cut karn and vesuva.

Thanks, I'm going to get to work on building this right away!

I like this deck, +1. Since you are clearly good at making decks, could you evaluate my Elf Semi-Populate. It's the first deck I've made and I wasn as much advice as I can get.
*also note that I playtested this against my elves twice. it lost one then won one, so I guess that means they're about even.

There is a reason tron runs light splashes into colors, going all in on the land urza land ramp opens you up to lose by your own deck's variance, out of 15 games of playtesting there wasn't a single hand I actually liked as it completely relies on getting the urza lands out before turn 4 and to hope you can ride the Karn to victory. Unless it's for casual games you probably shouldn't exchange resiliency and consistency for a gimmick (though I will admit doing so does work as a nice strategy to farm upvotes from people here on Tappedout).

Awesome deck. care to test it out against my deck Swarm and Conquer V 2.0? Also, I do agree with Demarge slightly. He comes off as being an asshole to be quite frank, but he does have a good point about the color thing. Pyroclasm is a must to help stop aggro decks from overrunning you.

Caged Sun only works for colored mana. Colorless can't be chosen as a color.
