RAGE! I HATE YOU AND ALL YOUR KINDRED! MAY YOU BURN!

Not really, but I there used to be a guy I played with who only ever played eldrazi and he was a real jerk about it.

My buddies and I often play where we chose our starting hands. [Evil Laughter]

Come comment on my deck! GWR Heroic

Quilipayun I will burn... them. With my Banefire .

But... this has multiple win cons... Blue Sun's Zenith , Banefire , Exsanguinate ,

Diabolic Revelation , seeing as you have the infinite mana? also, Whispers of the Muse could be a double for Train of Thought .

GoofyFoot thanks for the suggestions although I don't really see a point using a Diabolic Revelation . It'd be much faster if you just drew your whole deck with Train of Thought or just finished up the opponent if you have a win-con. At least Train of Thought can be used without the combo. :)

So I love your deck, all because of Pili-Pala , however, I believe that "EmraCOOL" just slows the deck down a little too much. Even though you can just play him and take another turn, winning on turn three is probably safer.

P.S. Pili-Pala is my favorite creature in the game, and this deck is really similar to a deck of mine based around this combo, with win cons of Exsanguinate , Blue Sun's Zenith , and Banefire .

P.P.S. I still love this twist xD +1

I also would like to suggest Spellskite on your sideboard, just a great card against many decks, like a kill spell magnet or counter to affinity.

You did a really great job with this deck! Now that you say it like that, EmraCOOL reminds me of tenticool if you ever played pokemon, he even looks kinda like him. Have you ever thought about running some number of Tolaria West as additional copies of Pact of Negation ?

Also, you should put it in the description that a more budget version is available if you use Blue Sun's Zenith as an outlet for your infinite mana instead of the eldrazi, they cost $30-45 a piece, Zenith costs .75c =D

Also zenith is insta-win, while elderazi is NOT.

Thoughts on Index for digging?

ImWithBrennan, thank you very much! The very reason I put in Emrakul is because that spaghetti monster was the starting point of the deck. I've been looking for a viable way to pull off Emrakul and this was the way. Although Emrakul does slow the deck a bit, my purpose is to have fun with the guy, or rather, troll with the guy.

As for Spellskite, thank you! I've put him in my sideboard long ago but I deleted my sideboard and I forgot to put him back again!

corythackston, thanks! Tolaria West seems okay but I think I don't need more transmutes and the tapland is sluggish already since I have the Halimar Depths. Also, I don't get how that can be like Pact of Negation, though.

DenzelPretzel says... #15

Scorprix Yes it seems so. Same with Banefire, Exsanguinate and all the other x cards. Although I'd rather have fun with Emrakul lol.

NateJH I've been thinking how I might use that. Although I still prefer Serum Visions over that. Thanks!

Pact has a CMC of 0, Tolaria West lets you search for a card with a CMC of 0. And I thought it would be too slow too, I just wanted to see what you thought of it =)

DenzelPretzel says... #17

corythackston, actually, I missed that part of the 0 CMC :O so I guess I can maybe put a few so if by chance my combo is danger I can transmute that to a pact. What do you think?

April 1, 2014 8:05 a.m.

Do it. Tolaria West is key in finding Pact for you to secure a win.

This deck is hilarious; reminds me of a Modern version of High Tide. Also a much less expensive version lol.

Darkblade666 Apparently, yes. The life the opponent loses doesn't really matter since the deck can dish out crazy shitload of damage. However, the life I lose (bouncing my creatures) does. An extra point lost helps aggro. Everything counts.

So, i play tested it against my land destruction and your deck was doomed...

Are you able to implement anti land destruction at all?

You can't activate your infinite mana combo without at least 3 lands and I tend to hold you at 1 land, or 2 if you went first.

Me deck: True Land Destruction, Lando, LD, Land Decimator

DenzelPretzel says... #22

nickiru I believe it can match up pretty well if I sideboard countermagic.

I'm not sure. I'll test it when I have time. Thanks.

nickiru says... #23

counters, lol, They do pretty well, but....

I have Mana Leak s in my side board for fighting control....I could side board them in anyways just to counter pilla-palla or Grand Architect .

But that is just me, I'm probably the only fruit bag that plays lando like I do.... It's not life you'll face my kind of deck in the real world. But do be concerned about crap like, Surgical Extraction and Memoricide . Remove all Grand Architect s or something to that effect.

I really like your deck. When it gets its combo down, which it does quickly, you simply win; except I have had a couple times where, doing all the drawing and searching and such, I reached a dead end or didn't draw the right cards consecutively and then one of your combo critters gets removed and not replaced.

I had a search deck once that used Diabolic Revelation s, as well as Diabolic Tutor . Do you think these would be any good in your deck? When you get infinite mana and revelation, you 'will' win because you can search for what you want, not hope to draw what you need.

DenzelPretzel says... #24

nickiru I actually play with a friend who uses Surgical Extraction . It's a matter of deck speed. I've played with him and I win fairly more games than him though.

As for deck search, Train of Thought is basically the same in function I guess. It's just that I can use it for drawing early on and that it draws the whole deck and not search the whole deck. So in essentiality, I'm not actually hoping to draw what I need. I DO draw what I need.

Thanks for your thoughts!
