Deck Description

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and when magic gives you insanely overpowered creatures play them. Preferably as fast as possible. Well that summs this deck up pretty well. It's based on the Eldrazi and its sole purpose is to get them into play as fast as possible. Since manacosts beyond 10 are usualy not so easy to pay, even more when it's supposed to be fast, this is a tricky situation. To yet acomplish this task this deck uses two artifacts to avoid paying for creatures. Belbe's Portal and the Quicksilver Amulett both let you put creatures from your hand straight into play, with either 3 or 4 mana. An Emrakul for 4 mana? Fair deal I'd say. And that's already the main principle of the deck. These two artifacts combined with the most powerfull Eldrazi, namely Emrakul, It That Betrays, Ulamog and Kozilek.
But what if you don't get the artifacts you need, or if they are destroyed and so on? Well, I thaught the easiest way would be to ensure that you are able to cast the Eldrazi normaly if all else fails. To be able to do that the manabase was crucial. I first considered to play the Urza Lands, but I consider them to be to slow and risky. So I took every land that adds more than one Mana to maximixe speed and manaamount. Eye of Ugin and the Eldrazi Temple for Eldrazi spells alone and Ancient Tomb, Scorched Ruins and Lotus Vale in addition.
The rest of the deck adds even more speed in form of Exploration and the Birds, for this purpose I added the green splash, controll in form of City of Solitude, Cursed Totem and All is Dust. Then I added some tutors, Worldy Tutor mainly to search for Eldrazi if you need them and the two black ones to help you if the artifacts aren't where they supposed to be. That's why this deck plays 4 City of Brass in addition to have the mana of any colour option with another card besides the birds.
All together this deck is affordable, playable and surprisingly fast. Playing a big fat Eldrazi in round 3 or 4 is perfectly possible and the average speed of this deck, It may have problems against fast Goblins, blue controll and Artifact destruction. But it has potential and it uses it. Have fun with it.
