No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Have Emrakul swinging 4th or 5th turn with Kozilek and Ulamog coming out swinging on the following turns.

You've got Myr, Sol Ring, and Birds of Paradise for mana ramp in case you don't pull a Quicksilver Amulet by 3rd or 4th turn so that you can still play Emrakul, yes even your 15 cost Emrakul, by 5th or 6th turn.

Locus lands Glimmerpost combined with Cloudpost make your land worth more, and with Vesuva copying Cloudpost or Eldrazi Temple, you'll have no problem getting out your huge Eldrazi creatures without pulling Quicksilver Amulet all game. You can even use your low cost Myr as chump blockers a turn or two if you have to and you'll still get out your Eldrazi as quick as possible w/o using high cost Eldrazi token spawning creatures.

All the while turn 3 or 4 if you've pulled a Lighning Greaves you'll have that out so that you're Eldrazi come out swinging the turn they are played. It costs 0 so every turn you play a huge creature you can swap it over and have them swinging same turn.

This deck should be at least Legacy/Vintage legal I believe, if someone could let me know which game types it is legal in I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, any ideas for changes are much appreciated. I don't want it to be an "anything goes" deck but rather a legal deck for most tourny's. Obviously not the standard ones.

I've played this deck on Cockatrice 2 dozen times or so, editing things as I go, perfecting it, and what I've said in the above description happens 8/10 games. Once my cards come in the mail, my friends are going to rage nonstop when they can't beat this deck :)

Deck discussion for Emrakul, Kozilek, and Ulamog

Have you considered awakening zone? It might be a tad bit slow for what you are trying to do, but I certainly think it is a good card to run for ramp eldrazi.

I'll have to throw 2-4 in and test it on Cockatrice. Not sure what I'd replace, though. Any ideas?

I have a deck like this where I play the 12 Urza Lands (Power Plant, Tower, Mine) along with 7 forests and two eldrazi temples. Also use 4 Somberwald Sages and 2 Palladium Myr's to ramp mana. I also throw in a few large non eldrazi creatures such as Sundering Titan, Blightsteel Colossus, and a Platinum Angel just in case I need some extra time past 0 life.

I cheat out the fatties using 4 copies of Elvish Piper and Call of the Wild.

It's done really well for me so far.

I'm not a huge fan of cheating out anything just because the "do this when you cast this card" effects don't happen if you don't pay the actual cost. So no second turn on Emrakul, no destroy permanent with Ulamog, and no draw 4 cards with Kozilek. Not a huge deal, but if you're facing decks that win 5th or 6th turn, you almost have to cast them legitimately.
The Annihilator on Eldrazi make them more appealing to me than anything else so I don't play any other stompy cards but yeah, sounds cool.

Is your Eldrazi deck Modern Legal? I'd like to re-format this so it's Modern Legal at least.

Elvish piper is not modern legal but the urza lands and the somberwald sage are and those will help you ramp your mama up pretty quick. You could also throw in expedition map to search your library for the urza land you need to complete the tron.
