Could Eldrazi Processors shake up the format
Commander (EDH) forum

A conversation popped up on facebook about dealing with All Hallow's Eve. I told them that any of the Eldrazi Processors would take the spell out of exile, and stick it into their owners graveyard. Then it hit me, quite a few of the generals are quite vulnerable to them. Three out of the eleven Processors have activated abilities to put an opponent's card in exile into their graveyard. The rest are either when cast, or as ETB effects.
A Void Attendant could in response to Narset, Enlightened Master triggered ability, return all of those cards from exile into the controllers graveyard. Neutering their general. You could do the same thing to creatures exiled with Roon, or Deadeye Navigator. Jhoira of the Ghitu has it the worst. Your spells will spend several turns in exile, a tempting target for any of the processors.
Too bad about Deadeye Navigator, I run it in a few of my decks, and even I think it feels a little too oppressive at times.

Oracle of Dust and Void Attendant are really the only "viable" ones, and they aren't that great overall. You would only play them as counters to your meta.

I would also expect both of those to be in a lot of Roon decks, for the whole "Blink your dude then put it in your yard" cards.

NotSoLuckyLydia Id just run Sundial of the Infinite myself in their place.

NotSoLuckyLydia that seems viable. Bant reanimator with a whole bunch of angels and shit. I like that a lot actually.

canterlotguardian what does flicker, angels, and reanimation have to do with each other? I am not seeing the tie-in or synergy here.

Flicker Karmic Guide? Sun Titan and Reveillark? Saffi Eriksdotter?

MindAblaze No angels there, and saffi is not a reanimator, and three cards does not a theme make. And none of the above have any synergy with the eldrazi, which was the point of canterlotguardians comment.

RoarMaster actually my post is irrelevant because the Processors don't affect your exile zone at all. so ignore my derp. lol

You can't target creatures exiled to Deadeye Navigator. The creature card is exiled and then returns from exile before the ability can go on the stack, and by that time it won't have a legal target.
It hoses Jhoira nicely though.
