lol thanks bro

for your anguish alter to work you have to input the alter code.

speaking of languish alters, there don't appear to be any. To make one click on the folder-looking icon and click "alters". after that click on the "add alters" option, input the alter's URL, and put the code after it.

for example: Azami, Lady of Scrolls ( Azami, Lady of Scrolls )

as opposed to the altered version: Azami, Lady of Scrolls ( Azami, Lady of Scrolls )

Honestly Self-Inflicted Wound is not good right now. It was huge for ABZAN mirror but I don't think it serves a good enough purpose right now. Infinite Obliteration is better in that slot. Naming Thalia's Lieutenant can destroy mono white humans. Also I am starting to play BW control and I see the appeal of putting in 1 or 2 Flaying Tendrils for the heavy aggro meta.

I'm not sure I understand the one copy of Wastes. You don't have any ways to fetch basics and I'm not aware of anything like Path to Exile in standard, so wouldn't another copy of Blighted Fen or Caves of Koilos be better? I just feel like I'm missing something there.

Well. I could check if i have another fen. It wouldn't hurt.

i really like it but instead of the Llanowar Wastes Might i suggest the Rogues Passage ? you dont need the green splash and making a reality smasher unblockable when you the hit can be nasty =)

Rogues passage was in the original list of this deck and it didn't have much of an effect other than a mana sink that only distracted me.

Get rid of Languish, bump Caves of Koilos by one, down Llanowar Wastes, add Eldrazi Displacer. Cause you know, Reaper's mask is white.

shepherdofire says... #14

Uhhh. No. Lol. Languish is what keeps the tokems and weenies dead my friend.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about Eldrazi in general, and here is my thought: There is no reason to treat Eldrazi as a tribal deck. You get no benefit from having others in there other than Eldrazi Mimic and at that point you could run things that are just flat out better. And when you think about that, then mono black isn't really the way to go. The only good creatures I can think of are Drana, Liberator of Malakir, Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet (which you already run), and Hangarback Walker.

If you wanted to run an Eldrazi tribal you would have to run other colors to make it playable. For instance red so you can play: Vile Aggregate, Forerunner of Slaughter, Flayer Drone, and Eldrazi Obligator. Red offers nothing in the way of better removal, so it would just be for creatures sake.

Blue has Ruination Guide, and maybe Fathom Feeder. He can trade with death touch, can be effective at getting damage in if people don't want to block, and he has great value late game. But I still don't think he is strong enough. Also blue gives you great draw with Anticipate and gives you counter magic.

Other than that white and green give you all the options to run their powerful creatures that aren't Eldrazi, and the planes walkers.

And not to mention cutting black out altogether. Running Thought-Knot Seer and Reality Smasher in WhiteX or you could even run them in B/Gx midrange. I just think mono black has little to offer and the deck could be better depending on which direction you would want to go. But I do not think Eldrazi tribal is strong right now. Can't wait until we see more cards from Eldritch Moon.

After reviewing some comments, and a ton of personal testing with you in the flesh, i've compiled some reccomendations for the deck. In a practical situation I found that your use of Eldrazi Mimic was a chump block, even if it could copy later. I believe Carrier Thrall would be a decent replacement, seeing it can chump for you, and afterwards replace itself or potentially set off your engine a turn earlier. I personally disagree with the idea of Foul Renewal because the likelihood of you having to take a Bearer of Silence back and only doing a -1-1 is scary to say the least. I believe situationally it is a poor synergistic decision. Another reccomendation I have is to dabble with Dark Petition in the main board. It can be used to fish out situational removal spells like Ruinous Path or even Languish. With the spell mastery, which I believe your yard full of spells speaks for itself; you can meet this requirement. My final reccomendation, based off another comment here, is a single Grip of Desolation for your sideboard. I believe our local meta, similiar to other local and competitive metas, has an abundance of Westvale Abbey  Flip and things like Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, or even just Archangel Avacyn  Flip. With these (validated?) targets for the spell, it would be an easy grab from petition, and a singleton in your deck wouldn't ruin your hand advantage, because you shan't fear the possibility of another being top decked. See you next week at FNM Gagner!

I'm surprised that Monoblue Prison is presenting a problem for you, given that my (fairly similar) eldrazi deck crushes it. Maybe try moving Transgress the Mind into the mainboard in place of some removal.

shepherdofire says... #19

Maybe. Maybe.

Against control decks play Duress, transgress, Read the Bones and thoughtknot

KaraZorEl says... #21

I love this deck idea. It's great. The only suggestion I have for you is to put in one 6+ cmc creature for the grindy games.

June 30, 2016 2:55 p.m.

You're gonna add Distended Mindbender, right?

July 1, 2016 7:39 p.m.

shepherdofire says... #23

you know it happy. lol.

July 1, 2016 11:59 p.m.

So you think Mindbender will replace thought knot?

July 2, 2016 3:11 p.m.

shepherdofire says... #25
