"trying to make this kind of budget" and the Titans don't really go together very well...But ramp. You could try Perilous Forays, just sack Emerkul or Ulamog and then shuffle your grave and library, and get a basic. You could also use Harrow, since it brings the lands in untapped and you're likely to shuffle your grave back into your library anyway. It's over all better than spells like Rampant Growth.

Also, Eye of Ugin is really dumb in decks like this.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will go for eye of ugin and I thought about harrow I will also do that. The ((perilous forays)) dosnt seem to fit into the deck tho and yea it's aiming for the cheaper side of eldrazi and I actually don't have all these cards so right now I am play testing it and I out all the eldrazi in here because 1. I want to make the name true 2. There are always kill spels to kill my eldrazi

Nice deck. I have two suggestions. Since it's mono green, Elvish Piper and Myojin of Life's Web. Though, even though I'm suggestions creatures, you might want to have some spells that protect your eldrazi. Good luck with the deck!!

Thanks for the tips I will do some major editing to fit some of them and fix the mana base

Mana crypt is not modern legal. I dont suggest elvish piper. Quicksilver Amulet is much better, and even still, thats a SB card for the control matchup. Eldrazi Temple is a must have. Explore might be worth running as well.

Thank you I will try to get all the cards and do some editing for it.

I def see things I'd take out and things I would change the numbers on. I'll look deeper at it a little later. I see the idea and think it's a deck with potential. As an elf player, I can think of a few things that could help, but I'm not sure you want elves. I would suggest getting more 1 drops. More to come

I would remove the Eye of Ugin. I understand why it's in the deck, but only 1 you'll likely not see it much or ever. I add another Eldrazi Temple. I'd knock Azusa down to 1 or 2 and add another courser. I'm having a hard time trying to figure numbers. You have a lot of legendary creatures which will cause a problem. I'd recommend looking at one drops that can help with either ramp or another useful ability. Having a fist of legendary creatures will hurt you because they become dead cards. I'll keep an eye on this build to see what you change and can maybe help a little more from there.

If u r running a Spawnsire of Ulamog put in your sideboard: an emrakul, a kozilek, an ulamog, a all is dust, cause if u r casting from outside of game by rules it has to be in your sideboard. and can u please organised your deck into creatures, lands etc cause it would be easier to give u suggestions when your things are categorized.

Sorry it was then something happened

March 27, 2015 7:19 a.m.

SefTheReject says... #13

I agree with exalted_k1d about moving that stuff to your sideboard. Granted you won't get the bonus effect for hard casting them, you'll still get them out and have a good wall of death to play with. I'd use the open spots for one and 2 drops to try and speed the deck up.

March 27, 2015 1:02 p.m.

SaniTheCat says... #14

You could even just put one of each and keep a kozilek and an ulamog in the main board for their effects. I would definitely move emerkul to sideboard though, because in a lot of 60 card formats, the game is over long before you'll get to 15 mana.

March 27, 2015 1:14 p.m.

SefTheReject says... #15

He does have tron so the odds on getting those out is pretty good being in the main and he does run courser. Def needs the ability to search for things that are needed.

March 27, 2015 1:30 p.m.

exalted_k1d says... #16

what i was implying was that he put 1 of each eldrazi titan in his main and 1 of ea in side, so he can have 2 ways of getting them out. also SefTheReject You do get the bonus effects cause Spawnsire of Ulamog allows u to cast them.

sylvannos says... #17

You have way too many creatures in here, IMO. It only takes one Eldrazi to win the game, especially with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. You're much better off trying to assemble Tron as fast as possible. Then, on turn three, you nuke your opponent's board with an All Is Dust or Oblivion Stone.

I'm going to shamelessly plug my Tron deck, which is pretty much mono-green with blue for Gitaxian Probe and Spellskite.

My suggestions per your request:

Edit your deck and Change the Display to "By Type" instead of "By Order."

Update your deck list to include the cards already suggested that you are thinking about trying, or already testing So we can more collectively see what out of suggestions has already been accepted.

Drop 4 Forest and replace them with a playset of Vesuva to make copies of your Urza's Tower. A cheaper option is Thespian's Stage, but it's highly worth it to use Vesuva instead.

Take out all the Azusa, Lost but Seeking and both Oracle of Mul Daya. Put in 4 Sol Ring and 2 Exploration. This way you'll be seeing a lot more Turn 3 big plays. Maybe even Turn 2.

Take all the Eldrazi except for one of each and put them into the sideboard. This way you can cast all of them without paying there mana costs with Spawnsire of Ulamog, yet you still have one of each in your deck so you're not entirely reliant on it. And it really only does take one of eaach of the Eldrazi to do well. Even if one dies, you just move to the next Eldrazi with annihilator and continue swinging. Leaving one of each in the Main Board will free up 6 card slots.

Also, SefTheReject was incorrect when he said you don't get the bonuses of "Enter the Battlefield" ability triggers when you use Spawnsire of Ulamogs ability. You do get these bonuses, as his ability does say you CAST these Eldrazi, thus triggering the abilities of the big three.

Add a Karn Liberated. Play it on Turn 2 or 3.

Someone suggested Harrow earlier. Don't get it. Get 3 Cultivate for the 6 Forest cards you'd be running. Cast it for the same mana cost as Harrow and potentially play both of the Forests immediately from [[Exploration] without losing one that Harrow would make you sacrifice.

Add an Asceticism or Lightning Greaves if you're concerned with removal cards.

Add an All Is Dust to the sideboard in addition to the one you already have in your main board.

TL:DR - Update your deck-4 Forest, +4 Vesuva or Thespian's Stage-3 Azusa, Lost but Seeking, -2 Oracle of Mul Daya, then +4 Sol Ring, +2 Exploration]]-All the Eldrazi except one of each. Put the removed ones in the sideboard.+1 Karn Liberated+3 Cultivate+1 Asceticism or Lightning Greaves+1 All Is Dust to the sideboard

Sol Ring is banned in modern

I think I'll so the opposit with spawnspire. He doesn't seem that good and I don't have sideboard yet.

March 28, 2015 12:54 a.m.

trollslayer says... #21

I'll do the stage over the other one because I'm pretty sure it is cheaper. By do the opposit I mean I was thinking of removing him. Mark is expensive but Ill think about it. For protection I was thinking Archetype of Endurance to protect all.

March 28, 2015 12:59 a.m.

trollslayer says... #22

Umm so yea.... About that karn.. I (as it says in the descript) do want to make this on the cheaper side of tron. I think that karn would shatter that goal. I will add cultivate somewhere in here.

March 28, 2015 1:10 a.m.

trollslayer says... #23

I'll do the same for exploration

March 28, 2015 1:11 a.m.

SefTheReject says... #24

@Anji3739 Sol Ring is banned. I have to check with my friend who's a magic judge, but I'm pretty sure since you're using an ability to "cast" creatures from outside of the game you don't get the bonus ability for hard casting. I could be wrong.

I didn't realize you were trying to keep the deck Modern legal. There isn't really a point in staying Modern if you're going to keep it as a Budget deck. Sticking to a format is generally done because you want to bring the deck to tournaments. That being said, tournament decks don't usually win when they're kept under a tight budget. It's a contradiction really. Tournament-winning decks are of top quality and value. Budget decks are not top quality, and obviously not top value either.

If you're going to keep it Modern legal, you should break the budget and get the best cards your deck needs.

If you're going to keep in under a budget, might as well break out of Modern and go Vintage or Casual. A winning deck in a Modern Tournament is going to win the game somewhere between Turn 3 and Turn 5 on average, and a budget deck is hardly going to compete with that kind of consistency unless you draw your god-hand every game.

Also, in response to SefTheReject, Spawnsire of Ulamogs ability does CAST the cards, so it will trigger the ETB abilities of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre because all three of them simply say "When you cast". They don't say "When you cast... from your hand" (also known as hard-casting). You may ask a judge this question for your own peace of mind, but I confirmed it with one for my own purposes many years ago.
