Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on Oct. 1, 2015, 7:43 a.m. by GeminiSpartanX

Hello! I don't really play standard very often (I'm more of a Modern player with some Legacy on the side), but BFZ has my creative juices flowing. I opened almost a box worth of boosters during prerelease weekend including my sealed pools and prizes, and I want to make a sweet eldrazi deck. The question I have is whether I want to do too much with this deck idea?

There seems to be 3 main eldrazi strategies in BFZ. UB ingest/process, BG sacrifice, and ramp to the big guys. I'm wondering if there's a standard constructed deck that can incorporate 2 or 3 of these limited archtypes? It would be BUG colored, and I'd like to incorporate the first 2 arch-types at least, if not all 3. I'm thinking it would be midrange-y, and I want to play Kiora and Ob Nix as 1-ofs since I opened them in my sealed pools.

Do you think we could brew one up together?

I think you can indeed make sultai eldrazi happen. That was what i managed to play in my first prerelease pool and i placed top 4 with it.

There are alot of directions to push the deck. YOu could go value 3 drop eldrazi like Catacomb Sifter + Collected Company + Ruination Guide though this type of thing is better in 4 color to splash for the powerful red black eldrazi.

There is the heavy graveyard manipulation deck that is midrangy using the delve creatures and spells like Dig Through Time + Murderous Cut + Tasigur, the Golden Fang

Or you could go more of a control route using ingest process to have a constant source or resources to out manage your opponent and drop them with some of the large eldrazi late game like Sire of Stagnation + Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger + Void Winnower

Here's an extremely rough draft of what I'm thinking of so far. I'm trying to balance Ingest creatures with processors and enough sac fodder to run a few Smothering Abominations in the deck with a few 'end-game' eldrazi to wrap up if I get that far.

I threw this together in like 5 minutes the other day as a quick idea, could prolly use another eldrazi like Bane of Bala Ged and plenty of room for Ob as well Necromantic Eldrazi Ramp you can get a 12/12 ulamog out really early ;)
