Introduction

I've been trying to get this guy to work for a while, and I think he's almost there!

Deceiver of Form is an awkward Eldrazi, but when he hits his stride, he destroys. With a loyal army of Eldrazi (and a werewolf?), he has the potential to turn his Scions into a mechanism of havoc.

The Swarm Grows

Cryptolith Rite : This card makes each scion worth 2-mana, and it makes the mana production of cards like Scion Summoner insane.

Evolutionary Leap : With the army of Scions ready to die to protect their leader, it's always nice to reap a few more benefits form their demise. Assuming the attacker lacks Trample, the Scion can block and then be Leaped into a whole new Eldrazi–consider it a reincarnation. On top of this, Cryptolith Rite pays for this process if the Scion isn't sick.

Smothering Abomination : Ever hungry, the Smothering Abomination turns Scions into easy card advantage. Compounded with From Beyond , this is free card draw.

Catacomb Sifter : Catacomb Sifter allows for every dead Eldrazi to contribute to the final goal; by making it easier to find the needed tools, the process becomes a whole lot smoother.

Duskwatch Recruiter  : If allowed to flip for T3, this guy will allow for two 3-CMC creatures to enter. Why's he helping the Eldrazi? Who knows!

Conduit of Ruin : If Deceiver of Form has already arrived, Conduit of Ruin heralds the opponents demise. Choose the final Eldrazi!

World Breaker : If Deceiver of Form never arrives, World Breaker will be more than thrilled to harass the opponent. Take their crucial lands or enchantments and stop the enemies in their tracks.

The Model Eldrazi

With that covered, what does Deceiver of Form want to mold his army into?

Deceiver of Form : Vanity plays in his favor. Modeled in his own image, Deceiver of Form 's army become a swarm of 8/8 bodies.

Conduit of Ruin : Smaller but just as deadly, a swarm of Conduit of Ruin s will do just fine in ending an opponent.

Smothering Abomination : Soar above the enemy and strike! If all else fails, use Evolutionary Leap to sacrifice one of the swarm and draw like crazy.

World Breaker : 5/7s aren't too shabby, and that's what an army of World Breaker s brings.

Welp, that's about it! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
