    Re: BigEldrazi

    This more so than many others since you need such a large amount of mana in the deck that your percentage of action topdecks is significantly lower than in something like Death & Taxes or Elves. On...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    Frankly, I don't like Voltaic Key with under 12 sources. You have to keep in mind that manarocks get countered and destroyed, and this deck is too tight on mana to afford non-mana producing cards. 12...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    The list you linked is just Eldrazi Stompy with a minor Eye of Ugin/ramp plan to solve problems down the line. Eldrazi Stompy doesn't usually run Monolith 'cause it curves out at 5-6 and has a large...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    I'd say much too expensive for what it does. The deck contains eldrazi mana and one-shot artifact mana; you can't generally afford to go around paying 5 per card. But yeah, I'm still quite confident...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    Okay, let me put it this way. You could either put this in your deck or put more threats. If you flood out, you could either draw threat or a filter to try and find a threat. Which do you prefer? The...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    You're however investing 1 extra card and 2 mana upfront before filtering takes place thus essentially putting you one card behind. You'll have to ask yourself if you would rather draw this than a...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    "five or more different converted mana costs", so you have to exile 5 with different CMC. E.g. exile a 0 mana spell (land, Chalice, etc.), a 1 mana spell (Voltaic Key & al.), a 2 mana spell (Grim...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    Kinda cute synergy with Voltaic Key. Though I'm not sure it's fast enough or does enough to warrant the card slot. Ideally you don't take 5 turns before you do a big mana play, and until you've gone...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    I don't necessarily see that as a problem point. I've run Needles and Chalices in the same deck before; vs. Loam-decks might prefer Chalice at 2 anyways and vs. many of the control-decks you're in...
