Conquer with the Eldrazi swarm! I wanted to construct a fun deck with the modern Eldrazi and ended up with this sacrifice/ramp combo. Main objective is to sacrifice your drones for beneficial effects and to spawn scions. Then ramp up to a good old fashioned Eldrazi beatdown.
Zero-drop: Mage-Ring Network is a great way to store mana for late game eldrazi. If a scion's death is imminent, sacrifice it at instant speed and store the mana for later.
One-drops: Blisterpod serves as early fodder and spawns a scion upon death. Bone Splinters provides instant spot removal and Scion production.
Two-drops: Carrier Thrall serves the same purpose as Blisterpod and fills out the curve.
Three-drops: Catacomb Sifter comes with its own scion and filters draws with every sacrifice.
Titan's Presence
makes for some powerful removal whenever you have large Eldrazi in your hand.
Call the Scions
is straightforward scion production. You'll want to keep the pantry well stocked with scion-snacks. Swarm Surge is mostly situational. It can clear the board when you have a surplus of scions. Or you can use the first strike when your Desolation Twins attack into Deathtouch.
Four-drops: From Beyond produces a scion every turn and can help fetch large Eldrazi when you have enough scions. Smothering Abomination fuctions amazingly in concert with From Beyond. It keeps your hand full and has flying to boot.
Six-drop: Conduit of Ruin is the beginning of the end for the opponent. This should be the first thing you sacrifice your scions for. At 5/5 it's pretty tough and gives
Titan's Presence
plenty of range. In addition, searching out a finisher AND reducing it's cost gets bigger threats out that much quicker.
Seven-drop: Bane of Bala Ged is reminiscent of the Annihilator ability and hits very hard when brought out early in a combo with Conduit of Ruin. Voted most likey to win the game.
Ten-drop! Personally, I'm way too cheap to cash out for Ulamog;
Desolation Twin
makes for a solid replacement though. Fetch for two 10/10s and an instant win condition.
Sideboard is still in the works. Any suggestions?
