Eldrazi are monstrous things! Fight back with other things!

This cube started (and will remain) a way to showcase my Eldrazi collection. All Eldrazi related cards are present. (Eldrazi, Devoid, eldrazi producers.) The power level of Eldrazi cards are all over the place, so this cube leans into that!
Originally designed for Wizard Tower, I have been adjusting the cube to be fun for all formats that can use a giant amount of cards. Draft, Big Deck, Horde, you name it.

Overview

Since this was originally designed for Wizard's Tower, I want the players to be able to play whatever they get. I made sure some general theme were present in all colors (or lack there of).

Colorless Matters
Exile Matters
+1/+1 Counters
Morphs/Manifests

No matter what you draft, you should be able to combine your cards into something usable.
Another aspect key to this cube is the variable consistency. To play off the inconsistent power level of all the Eldrazi, I've tried to structure it so that you can build for a weaker but more consistent deck or a more random but powerful (and cool) deck. Hopefully this can add a strategic element to playing where you can consider the risks of pulling off a cool combo or summoning a big eldrazi, and the odds that your opponent may do the same.

Color Archetypes

[WIP, I will improve this later]
While all colors share some general themes, the mono colors, pairs and trios have some more focused archetypes they prefer.

Mono Color
White

w

Enter and re-enter the battlefield. White wants creatures to constantly be on the field and constantly re-enter. Revive fallen creatures to keep your board strong or flicker ones already on the field to reap their ETBs again. But that's not all, flicker a manifest to turn a card face up; you might even get an Eldrazi out for cheap!

Face Down Trickery

Black

b

Red

r

Bend your opponent's cards to your will. Steal cards, use them against your opponent and use them them to fuel your own devastating attacks. Red is all about taking your opponent's cards and keeping them out of their hands.

Green

g

To combat the eldrazi, you must grow BIG. +1/+1 counters, like way more than the rest. You will be able to build up your creatures to huge and use move these counters around as needed.

Two Color
Azorious

wu

Manifest/Flicker (exiled facedowns come back face up)

Dimir

ub

Hand and Deck Disruption (Ingest)

Rakdos

br

Attack! Rakdos is all about rushdown. Use some of the most violent and aggressive cards in the cube to beat your opponent before they can get their big eldrazi! Don't worry about losing creatures, just attack!

Gruul

rg

Big Mana, Big Creatures

Selesnya

gw

Selesnya wants to ensure the quality of our creatures. Be sure to kit them out with the best weapons and armor so that no foe can best them. Equipments that really cement your creatures as a threat take center stage here.

Orzhov

wb

Life is easily manipulated and a resource to be exploited. Gain and spend life to get what you want, or just drain your opponent's. With a ton of life, you can trigger some powerful effects of various cards too.

Izzet

ur

Leans really heavily in Colorless matters, Artifacts???

Golgari

bg

Take power from the living and benefit from the dead! Stealing +1/+1 counters from other creatures and activating triggers from creature death is Golgari's main plan here.

Spell slinging is good, slinging big spells for free is even better. Draw through your deck and utilize non creature spells to their fullest potential.

Sultai

bgu

Other
Colorless

c

Specialize your deck with Eldrazi! Plenty of really powerful cards in colorless that synergize with the other play-styles. If you go all colorless, you will have extremely powerful individual cards.

Rainbow

wubrg

Ultimate power is yours! There's plenty of generic mana costed cards, so using all 5 colors is possible. If you aim for this, you will be rewarded with some fun and crazy effects. Pay for Eldrazi cheap or just outright make your opponent lose!

Known Combos

Marit Lage Early

The ice counters on Dark Depths can be removed with Vampire Hexmage while Solemnity will prevent them from ever being placed, letting you get a fast Marit Lage. Tolaria West or Sylvan Scrying can fetch Dark Depths if you plan on using it.

1 Life Win

Stunning Reversal and Near-Death Experience. Enough said.

Infinite Life Drain

I didn't even know about this one. Use the 3 Eldrazi Scion from Brood Monitor to pay Eldrazi Displacer to flicker Brood Monitor endlessly. Add in Zulaport Cutthroat and you win.
