Cool take on Brilliant Esper

General forum

I played a deck in MTGO the other day that was a really interesting take on Brilliant Esper. It basically added green and had a bunch of ramp so that it could hard-cast a bunch of nasty fatties in green, blue, black, and white, AND Brilliant Ultimatum into them. I won thanks to a heaping helping of Slave of Bolas to steal his fatties and Thought Hemorrhage to de-Emrakul his deck, but I think I just got lucky. Plus he had no counterspells. I thought it was a really cool idea nonetheless.

I honestly couldn't tell you everything. He had 3x Emrakul, 1x each of several different other fatties. He had Lorthos, Pelakka Wurm, and Sphinx of the Steel Wind in there, at least. Ondu Giant , Explore , Rampant Growth ; tons of ramp. 1x Oracle of Mul Daya and I think I saw a Sea Gate Oracle at one point.

what'd it do for running early interferance? I mean, it sounds like the sort of deck you have to wait for to go off... what'd their game look like turns 1-5?

Ramp. Serious, serious ramp. Ondu Giant was a pretty good chop blocker. He also had some Doom Blade in his sideboard; didn't pull it out against me because I was running Grixis Control, but yeah.

I'm still looking for stuff for my Grayscale Remastered EDH deck. I have a list of stuff this time:

Land

Planeswalkers

Artifacts

Creatures

The ones with * I'm most interested in.

I have a Darksteel Forge and an Eye of Ugin from your list, and I'm interested in a Mster of Waves.
