Teferi finally looked too far into the future (or was it the past?) and accidentally gazed into the abyssal heart of the Blind Eternities. Now a great and wise planeswalker reduced to gibbering insanity, he labors in madness building monoliths and aligning cryptoliths for the sole purpose of bringing about the return of the Old Ones.

Fhtagn y'all! This deck is a lot of fun and it can easily be adapted to be a budget list. Just substitute other ramp for some of the more expensive rocks and insert whatever beaters you want in place of the Eldrazi Titans. This deck is not meant to go infinite or stax players out of the game. It's all about showing people that Blue can beat face with the best of them.

My favorite things about this deck is playing Teferi by turn 4 and then playing something else because Teferi basically untaps all the mana spent to cast him when he comes out so he's essentially free.

Card Categories Show

Beaters:

• Artisan of Kozilek - Something to note, this guy won't trigger the cast triggers on your Eldrazi. That said, it's still amazing to bring anything back & his ability trigger (because it's also a cast trigger) can't be countered.
• Conduit of Ruin
• Diluvian Primordial
• It That Betrays - I included this guy after realizing just how much it shuts down. Meren decks beware.
• Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
• Kozilek, the Great Distortion
• Lorthos, the Tidemaker - This guy holds games down by himself if you can get him out early enough. Plus he's just loads of fun.
• Scourge of Fleets - Way underrated card. Mono-Blue powerhouse.
• Soul of New Phyrexia
• Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger
• Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
• Void Winnower

Mana-Ramp:

• Aphetto Alchemist
• Trinket Mage - Searches for Expedition Map , Sol Ring , Mana Vault , or Seat of the Synod .
• Thada Adel, Acquisitor - This card is loads of fun. Everyone runs at least a Sol Ring and getting just those from people is already a good value for this deck. She serves as my alternate commander if I want to reduce the power level of the deck for other people.
• Phyrexian Metamorph
• Clever Impersonator
• Basalt Monolith - Insane with Teferi just like all of these mana rocks.
• Grim Monolith
• Hedron Archive
• Mana Vault
• Mind Stone
• Thran Dynamo
• Sol Ring
• Gilded Lotus
• Eldrazi Temple
• Temple of the False God
• Shrine of the Forsaken Gods
• Eldrazi Temple
• Tezzeret the Seeker
• Solemn Simulacrum

Utility/Defense

• Crystal Shard - I like this because he makes opponents keep a mana open early on effectively delaying them a turn and in the late-game he allows me to reuse the cast triggers off of my Eldrazi and protect them. Bonus points for your opponent forgetting that Teferi can untap it and not leaving two mana open.
• Arcanis the Omnipotent - Insane card draw by himself. With Teferi he completely refills your hand.
• Guard Gomazoa - I put this in here more for extra tentacles than anything else, but protecting Teferi is a priority and, since this deck keeps tokens in check pretty easily with mass bounce I included this and Fog Bank .
• Fog Bank
• Lighthouse Chronologist
• Prophet of Distortion
• Thassa, God of the Sea
• Aether Gale
• All Is Dust
• Preordain
• Rush of Knowledge - Underrated draw spell. Is usually at least a draw 6 when I have Teferi out. In my experience I can use Teferi's minus to cast both him and this in the same turn. Gets unspeakable when I have a larger Eldrazi in play.
• Mystical Tutor + Temporal Mastery
• Wash Out - More for anti-colored flavor than anything. May include Whelming Wave over this but so far the selective bounce has been nice.
• Expedition Map - Most common things I search for are Encroaching Wastes , Eye of Ugin , and Reliquary Tower .
• Lightning Greaves - Gives haste & protection to Eldrazi. Nuff said. This thing is a major threat and people will get rid of it as soon as possible if they're smart.
• Nevinyrral's Disk - Playing this and untapping it immediately with Teferi basically leaves him to just run the table for a couple turns.
• Tangle Wire - Included to slow the game down a little and because Teferi can largely negate its drawback.
• Back to Basics - Playing 30 islands. Why not?
• Future Sight - Turns my mana production into cards. Makes me a God.
• Imprisoned in the Moon - Included more for flavor than anything else but it does do a good job of locking down pesky commanders that you don't want to come back.
• Engulf the Shore - Surprisingly will mostly leave your creatures still on the field given how much toughness they have. This card has the most Lovecraftian flavor text as well. Also, instant-speed :}
• Time Stop - The amount of times I've Time Stopped after a Temporal Mastery is really too many.
• Ugin, the Spirit Dragon - Does everything this deck wants him to do.
