Emerge the Eldrazi
I really want to give the Eldrazis (especially TKS) another go before they rotate out of standard in September and I have put together a blue-red list. The deserts from HOU have revive the monsters because of the ability to give both coloured and colourless mana. The list is different from the BR list that have been running around because I want to implement the EDF-k return combo.Here's the idea behind each cards for the deck:
creatures:TKS: one of my favourite cards, just good in most turn 4 situation.
Matter reshaper: card advantage unless it runs into magma spray and a juicy emerge target for EDF
Reality smasher: a hard beater with haste and trample
Champion of wits: great filter early, great 4/4 and card advantage late, another juicy target for EDF
scrapheap scrounger: resilient but again bad against magma spray. can emerge off this as well. for the mana, there are 6 black sources which isnt alot. However, if I am not bringing this back from grave, I would have other things to do.
eldrazi obligator: this is more of a 5-drop than a 3-drop because of its ability. juicy emerge target for EDF
PWchandra: just a great planeswalker to have (real questions: are there better cards that fits the deck at this slot?)
Instant:Kozilek's return: good early, good late, can be filtered to grave if not needed by champion
abrade: great removal
censor: early interaction and cycler. (better cards at this slot?)
Lands:blue / red sources: 14 for both if counting the tri land
sea gate: utility land for late game gas
ruins of the oran-rief: only champion of wits is not colourless in this deck
any thoughts???
