General Idea Show

Eldritch Evolution ramps and tutors creatures in one card. This is the card that lets the deck be both explosive and versatile.

Deathcap Cultivator/Hedron Crawler/Ulvenwald Captive   are the mana dorks that get your bigger creatures out faster.

Pilgrim's Eye/Primal Druid fetch lands for you. This is really good for filtering lands out from your top deck to increase the chances of drawing the good stuff.

Mindwrack Demon hits with big value, and fuels delerium.

Conduit of Ruin tutors for the big eldrazi you want, and ramps your first creature each turn.

Baloth Null and Greenwarden of Murasa get your creatures back from the graveyard to your hand. Greenwarden of Murasa can fetch your Ever After if it has hit the graveyard for whatever reason.

Ever After puts creatures back on the battlefield. Then it goes back into your library when it resolves!

Usually you want to use the cards above to bring back the big hitting creatures from the graveyard, but a Pilgrim's Eye or Primal Druid that will ramp you and filter another land out from the library is always a good option too.

Turn 1 Show

Mana available: 1

Vessel of Nascency or Crop Sigil. If mana fixing is required then Traverse the Ulvenwald

Turn 2 Show

Mana available: 2

Deathcap Cultivator, Hedron Crawler or Ulvenwald Captive   for next round ramp. Primal Druid for eventual ramp and good body for blocking. Alternatively sac the Vessel of Nascency or Grapple with the Past to pump delerium and find more creatures or lands if need be.

Turn 3 Show

Mana available: 3-4

Any 2x of the above mana dorks or Pilgrim's Eye.

Instead you can Mindwrack Demon if you have him in hand, or via Eldritch Evolution saccing any other turn 2 creature on the battlefield.

If you sac a Hedron Crawler to Eldritch Evolution that alone is 3 card types in graveyard. If you used a Grapple with the Past last turn or this turn then delerium is already enabled - even without the enter the battlefield trigger off Mindwrack Demon itself.

Turn 4 Show

Mana available: up to 7 with 3 dorks and 4 lands.

This is the first turn of potentially massive plays. If you do have 7 mana available, and your graveyard has managed to collect up all 6 cards types this deck runs, then you can cast Emrakul, the Promised End - this is unlikely, but it is possible if your opponent happens to be milling your top deck and forcing discards.

More likely you might cast Conduit of Ruin and fetch Emrakul, the Promised End or Distended Mindbender depending, or cast Baloth Null or Greenwarden of Murasa to bring back one or two creatures from your graveyard.

Alternatively use an Eldritch Evolution, saccing the Mindwrack Demon to bring any of these pieces out. This method works best with Baloth Null/Greenwarden of Murasa as they can fetch your sacced Mindwrack Demon.Conduit of Ruin misses out on it's cast trigger when it is brought in by Eldritch Evolution, but still benefits from it's passive for next turn.

Finally, Ever After can bring a couple of big hitters back from your graveyard to the battlefield. And if you happen to bring back a combination of Baloth Null/Greenwarden of Murasa to the battlefield, you can fetch another 2-4 other creatures back to your hand from the graveyard which is huge card advantage.

Worst case, you can flip the Ulvenwald Captive   or pump out more mana dorks or combo finders but compared to the other plays this is just a filler if you have nothing better.

Turn 5 Show

Mana available: up to 11 with 6 dorks and 5 lands

Cast Emrakul, the Promised End, or anything else you have in hand.

Still thinking about sideboard, any advice or suggestions welcome :)
