>>><<[[!Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre|0645f487-efe5-4764-b361-85e07bb5ccca]][[!Emrakul, the Aeons Torn]][[!Kozilek, Butcher of Truth]]>><<< 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}<<< >>><<[[!Eldrazi Displacer]] [[!Selfless Squire]] [[!Mastery of the Unseen]] [[!Bruna, the Fading Light]]>><<< 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! >>> ### Blue <<< >>>{u}<<< >>><<[[!Primordial Mist]] [[!Ixidron]] Face Down Trickery >>> ### Black <<< >>>{b}<<< >>> ### Red <<< >>>{r}<<< >>><<[[!Eldrazi Obligator]] [[!Barrage Tyrant]] [[!Fling]] [[!Hijack]]>><<< 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}<<< >>><<[[!Avatar of the Resolute]] [[!Verdurous Gearhulk]] [[!Spike Weaver]] [[!Wildcall]]>><<< 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 <<< >>>{w}{u}<<< Manifest/Flicker (exiled facedowns come back face up) >>> ### Dimir <<< >>>{u}{b}<<< Hand and Deck Disruption (Ingest) >>> ### Rakdos <<< >>>{b}{r}<<< >>><<[[!Dust Stalker]] [[!Rabbit Battery]] [[!Chittering Host]] [[!Forerunner of Slaughter]]>><<< 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 <<< >>>{r}{g}<<< Big Mana, Big Creatures >>> ### Selesnya <<< >>>{g}{w}<<< >>><<[[!Behemoth Sledge]] [[!Lion Sash]] [[!Hammer of Nazahn]][[!Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith]]>><<< 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 <<< >>>{w}{b}<<< >>><<[[!Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim]] [[!Abundant Maw]] [[!Lone Rider]] [[!Sorin, Grim Nemesis]]>><<< 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 <<< >>>{u}{r}<<< Leans really heavily in Colorless matters, Artifacts??? >>> ### Golgari <<< >>>{b}{g}<<< >>> <<[[!Corpsejack Menace]] [[!Spike Cannibal]] [[!Reyhan, Last of the Abzan]] [[!Catacomb Sifter]]>><<< 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. >>> ### Boros <<< >>>{r}{w}<<< >>><<[[!Depala, Pilot Exemplar]] [[!Sram, Senior Edificer]] [[! Artifact >>> ### Simic <<< >>>{g}{u}<<< Morphs and combat tricks >>> ## Three Colors <<< >>> ### Bant <<< >>>{g}{w}{u}<<< >>> ### Esper <<< >>>{w}{U}{b}<<< >>> ### Grixis <<< >>>{u}{b}{r}<<< >>> ### Jund <<< >>>{b}{r}{G}<<< >>> ### Naya <<< >>>{r}{g}{w}<<< >>> ### Mardu <<< >>>{r}{w}{b}<<< >>> ### Temur <<< >>>{g}{U}{r}<<< >>> ### Abzan <<< >>>{w}{b}{G}<<< >>> ### Jeskai <<< >>>{u}{r}{w}<<< >>><<[[!Narset, Enlightened Master]] [[!Mind's Desire]] [[!Aethermage's Touch]] [[!Serpentine Spike]]>><<< 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 <<< >>>{b}{g}{u}<<< >>> ## Other <<< >>> ### Colorless >>>{c}<<< >>><<[[!Thought-Knot Seer]] [[!Reality Smasher]] [[!Spatial Contortion]] [[!Matter Reshaper]]>><<< 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 <<< >>>{w}{u}{b}{r}{g}<<< >>><<[[!Door to Nothingness]] [[!Fist of Suns]] [[!Child of Alara]] [[!Ramos, Dragon Engine]]>><<< 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. Description WIP
