"Budget"

"Emrakul"

Pick one.

Ha, just kidding. I guess Emrakul takes up most of the budget.

Hmmm.....

Well,

I don't know...

I guess....

Let's just say he was some leftover store credit....

Maybe??

Foil Emrakul is $110. This is no budget deck. Even the foil promo is $25.

Considering that most legacy decks cost $100+, I see this as budget. It all depends on what you consider budget or not.

Budget generally means under $10.

That aside, this deck could be made more powerful by Sneak Attack , which is an all-powerful card when combined with Eldrazi.

I will definitely look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!

Quicksilver Amulet for the win. You don't trigger Emmy's extra turn, but so what?

Also, Rakdos Guildgate is really bad, I'd suggest Dragonskull Summit if you can afford (they're not very expensive) or Akoum Refuge

Rakdos Guildgate is for the budget aspect. Also, my sister won't let me use her Japanese Dragonskull Summit . Maybe I'll try to pick some up at my card store soon, but that won't be until the Theros pre-release.

September 10, 2013 7:18 p.m.

Don't worry, Rakdos Guildgate is virtually identical to Akoum Refuge . The 1 life per drop won't make much of a difference at all. However, since you only have eight locus cards, you should consider switching them out for Urza land since they can end up giving tons of mana.

The Urzatron would be good, expect I would have to redo my land base. Since I'm not running anyway to get lands out, I would have to run 4 of each, and then I would remove more lands than just the guildgates. I'm thinking that Dragonskull Summit is probably the best bet.

September 12, 2013 3:54 p.m.

Well if you took out the Rakdos Guildgate , Cloudpost , and Glimmerpost , that would fit a playset of the Urza lands. Those locus lands just don't seem to be contributing much. Or go with three of each Urza land and toss in three Dragonskull Summit so you have a good color base.

I actually think Locus are better than Urza's, but to maximize their effects, some copy lands must be used like Vesuva and Threspian Stage

September 13, 2013 3:48 p.m.

Linkboy says... #14

The Vesuva with the posts seems to work better than the Urza's. Again, I would probably have to make some bigger changes (Expedition Map maybe) to get the Urza's out and to make them useful.

You need some good creatures to stabilize like Kitchen Finks or Master of the Wild Hunt . Check out my Eldrazi Ramp Deck. It's modern but there relatively the same. +1

September 15, 2013 8:50 a.m.

you can add kozilek ulamog and it that betrays instead of ulamong crushers you can also play rakdos

Yeah, that seems like a better idea. Reason is, just switched this deck over from being budget, so now i'm open to anything!

Now, I just have to find someone to trade with (and no, I do not do online trades)

Don't forget that you won't get the extra turn unless you cast Emrakul, meaning paying the 15. I would suggest splashing green fro Parallel lives, which doubles your spawn mana. But here, tell me what you think of my Eldrazi deck Eldrazi's Warped World

Bluejayninja says... #19

Why do you have only 1 Quicksilver Amulet ???

Linkboy says... #20

I don't really know. I've kinda dropped this build due to the low win chance against most matchups.

November 9, 2013 10:23 p.m.

TomeOfArms says... #21

Don't give up! I've crushed 4 players at once with my Eldrazi deck due to Parallel Lives combo'd with Spawnsire of Ulamog !
