Eldrazi Ramp: Need Suggestions
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 23, 2012, 7:16 a.m. by overdoom
Playing in a casual playgroup, we can run any cards we want. My friends play lots of RDW, goblins, and Black decks with ramp and lots of spells to kill creatures or zombies. Building a semi- budget deck.. Trying to keep it around 100$ and this is about 80$ right now but I love big creature and nice combos as well as lots of mana. Eldrazis are different too from anything I've seen and I personally think they are badass, so I decided to make one instead of a goblins or green mana beasts which I originally decided on. Here's the deck:
Creature (17)4x Llanowar Elves1x Kozilek, Butcher of Truth1x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre1x Emrakul, the Aeons Torn3x Kozilek's Predator3x It That Betrays4x Nest InvaderLand (20)8x Forest4x Cloudpost1x Eye of Ugin3x Eldrazi Temple4x Vesuva Instant (5)2x Naturalize3x Not of This WorldSorcery (8)2x Scapeshift2x Skittering Invasion4x Ancient StirringsEnchantment (7)4x Pattern of Rebirth4x Awakening ZoneArtifact (1)1x Sol RingPlaneswalker (1)1x Garruk Wildspeaker
Another friend suggested I add some elvish pipers? Any suggestions to improve this deck would be greatly appreciated
If you're worried about your dudes getting killed then I might suggest Asceticism. So are you relying more on Eldrazi spawn for your mana ramp? I don't really see any mana searches like Cultivate or Rampant Growth. If you want to add one card to make this deck really competitive I would add Primeval Titan. Best of luck

Cards I'd recommend would be All Is Dust
You're already running Vesuva which would love to work with the three above lands.
Also if you're running Cloudpost then Glimmerpost is a must.
I would cut the green entirely. It's not worth it.
Also up the lands a little bit.

Omnath, Locus of Mana is a great way to store up a load of mana to cast an eldrazi early.

I have an 8-post because I lack Vesuva, but to give you an idea look at Touchdown! Da LOL's. I use Crop Rotation and Primeval Titan to fetch lands, thereby triggering Lotus Cobra's landfall. I've casted Primeval Titan turn 3 and an Eldrazi turn 4. Emrakul turn 5. Amulet of Vigor is the key, though.
Exploration Map is another land tutor.
I would do away with the Eldrazi Spawn ramp, unless you add 4x Eldrazi Monument, in and of itself is a win con. The spawn can be too easily removed to be reliable ...

Fastbond and Platinum Angel and a ton of draw spells.

only problem with using Elvish Piper
is that you don't get the cast abilities from the titans cuz you didn't cast them you put them into play instead. you should just run some wraths and Explosive Vegetation
until you get up to enough mana or blast out loads of spawns using Awakening Zone
and things like that to get your stuff early
