Deck Description

Swans+Seismic Assault=Win.
Seismic assault your swans to get you more and more cards, once you have "enough" lands in your hand, start throwing them at your opponents life. Cascade helps to cast Treasure Hunt and Seismic assault. Eldrazis have an infinite combo in this deck. During cleanup(the end of your end step, where you discard) you are still able to play instant speed abilities(Seismic Assault). So... As you are drawing and drawing and drawing because of your swans, you can enter cleanup, discard the eldrazi, shuffle your grave back into the deck, and continue to draw and ping with Assault to win. Continue the loop until you win. Really fun when you get the combo going.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated!!

Deck discussion for Seismic Swans

This is neat, try looking at lightning storm, and crucible of worlds would probably help so you don't have to worry about discarding ulamog

I thought about lightning storm.... But, its not what Im looking for with the deck. It's good, and some extra damage, but at the same time, it does about the same thing that my Seismic assault does, and, with assault being played on turn 3 and a swans turn 4 for the game.... It works better than a turn 4 Swans followed by a turn 5 Lightning storm. . . 1 turn can be all the difference. The reason I don't play Crucible, is because Im trying to ditch my lands, I have enough to cast any of the cards that I want in there, Ulamog is only there for his shuffle ability, which I need for the infinite. If crucible brought them to hand, then Id play it, but it allows for them to be played from the grave.... Meaning I don't get them back in my deck and I don't get their hits off of Seismic.
Thank you for the suggestions though, they were both on my list until I fine-tuned it. =]

Valid points =] well to tell you the truth it didnt cross my mind that crucible to puts them into play and would be pretty useless to you, what about life from the loam then? and I know you never plan on playing the eldrazi titan, but could I recommend kozilek in your main deck instead of ulamog, simply for the reasons that it only cost 10 (being the cheapest of the titans) and if somehow your plan gets disrupted like the swans or seismic getting removed its a great thing to in the long run fall back on, and it's draw 4 cards ability is very fitting for this deck.

How the F does this win? How do you throw your lands, or get enough to cast the Eldrazi?

You don't cast the Eldrazi. It's in there for an infinite combo in the discard step. You throw your lands via Seismic Assault. Throw lands at your Swans, draw cards(mostly lands), throw more lands at your Swans, draw more cards, and then, when you finally have enough, throw all the rest at your opponent

Any reason you chose Kozi as your Eldrazi loop over the others? Nice build, the land base is impressive =]

Personally, my fav is Ulamog. The only reason for Kozi over the others was ease of access for myself.
And thank you. =]
It's a fun deck for sure, try it out if you ever want a silly-fun day of semi-competitive Modern.
