@and3h: You probably don't want Stifle in this (global) meta. You'd probably be better served splitting that as some number of maindeck Therapies and other value spells. I might suggest 2 Therapy, 1...

Strangler is actually quite strong against Shardless, though. Processing an Ancestral Vision to kill a Baleful Strix or Deathrite would be glorious. But I'm not sold.
Nahiri fetches Emrakul.
Like, quickly. Two turn delay if undisturbed.
EDIT: by the way, as much as I like this name for the Eldrazi deck, it's basically a perfect fit here. Between her rockstar...
What splashes have you considered, if any? I feel like if you had another option besides Contamination to lock out your opponent's mana (perhaps Blood Moon or Back to Basics), you might give yourself...
My point with that line specifically was just to say that the combo itself is an exercise in masturbation. Setting it up takes skill and effort, and I don't want to diminish that.
Thanks! I agree. Though it's a much worse top-deck, Ankh seems quite strong in those matchups. And for those of us still running Metamorph, it seems excellent in multiples.
Ankh seems weirdly...
First of all, I have to ask, what does "static grimace" mean? Like, I get that it's supposed to be bad, but I just don't understand what "bad" constitutes in your mind because you've described it in...
This is an intriguing idea, so I'd really appreciate if you could give it a little more meat rather than just throwing out Ankh of Mishra as better than Orb like it's self-evident.
Lead with Deathrite. The tempo you're losing can be relevant but you can also pick up a lot more tempo by following Deathrite with more mana-intensive plays, mostly involving Young Pyromancer....
This is my primary concern with it: it doesn't kill x/2s, and there are some very good x/2s.
But I think you're underestimating instant speed. Mom basically blanks Forked Bolt, but Dual Shot opens...
Geistblast is so cool.
However, I've found a card I feel obligated to test in Delver.

The full spoiler is up, what do you guys think?

Welcome back, and thanks for the clarification on Derczo's list.
I agree that white is the definite next step for the deck. You've played the list for a while, so what is your opinion of a second...
LOL, I was gonna say, why even bother with this Jace when you can play JTMS?? :laugh:
Yes, you are correct. I used a poor choice of words. It doesn't have to enter *your* battlefield, it just has to enter *the* battlefield, but it has to enter/be cast from your graveyard to satisfy...
If this is the confusion, then that's a separate issue.
The triggered ability on Amalgam is actually two separate triggers: the first trigger happens when Amalgam is in your graveyard and a...
What are you talking about? The card is clearly designed to return from your graveyard to the battlefield if you cast a creature from your grave or reanimate something.
If you cast Careful Study...
Oh my god, somebody else posted on the thread.
I cut Helm. I wasn't impressed with it. I replaced it with Winter Orbs, which are more useful standing alone against decks like Shardless or...
Been a week since the last post, but I just wanted to point something out here that made me laugh, and didn't think it really needed a new thread.
Look at this:...

Dave also just won a 60-man event in MD yesterday playing the same deck. I'm not sure if he made any...
The issue with Eldrazi in the meta here (US Northeast) is that there is currently a heavy trend to Life from the Loam decks and away from Miracles and Storm. I did commentary for the Squabbles Quest...
Now that you mention Stoneblade with TNN causing trouble: @Barook, have you considered using a Manriki-Gusari in your Stoneforge package? True-Name is a lot easier to race when it's not carrying a...
Oh, come now. It's tongue-in-cheek, anyway. Just imagine it:
[DTB] My Tentacle Romance (Eldrazi Stompy)
-sheds tear- It's beautiful.
Anyway, I'm just playing around. Like I said, I'm...
You're the German here, but isn't it worded to enter the battlefield with the counters on it, rather than as an ETB trigger? Minor but relevant difference.
I don't want to single you out, and I'm not talking specifically to you. I'm just quoting you so it's clear what I'm talking about.
All the people bitching about the thread title need to relax....
