    This past weekend I was playing in the Starcitygames Invitational that I qualified for by top-4ing an SCG Legacy Classic with this deck. Spoiler Alert: I'm not good at anything but playing Eldrazi...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    Nothing major happened in the challenge.

    I destroyed the swiss except for losing a close match 1-2 to Death N Taxes disruption aplenty.

    Then I played MzFroste on UW Miracles in the last round...

    2 Kozilek, the Great Distortion

    Re: BigEldrazi

    Just think ... Voltaic Key = exactly Sol Ring *if* a Monolith is on the battlefield.

    Chances of a Monolith being on the battlefield probably =>80% if you play 8+.

    Would you play 4 Sol Ring if it was legal in this format? Or only play 3 or even less, like some people?

    Re: BigEldrazi

    If you run too many mana rocks you run the risk of getting flooded and not drawing enough business spells, tho. That's why I cut my 4 Grim/3 Thran/2 Basalt configuration down to 4 Grim/3 Thran/1...

    Re: BigEldrazi

    I'd always go with 4 Grim Monoliths. They're one of the best cards in the deck. The rest is up to you. I like Thran Dynamo because it retains its utility even without Voltaic Key... I don't know if...

    Man, this deck has been on a TEAR for me on MODO recently.

    The past 5 leagues for me have been something like 4-1, 5-0, 4-1, 4-1, 3-2.

    The deck just feels like it doesn't lose unless you make a...

    Crucible of Worlds is a possibility but it would only be semi-live against Wasteland decks because we have no Wasteland of our own to recur.

    It's not as good as I had hoped or wanted it to be, because in some matchups it just doesn't impact the board enough, but overall it's probably better than the 2nd Basalt Monolith and the 4th...
