thanks - you're probably right, I'm not a huge fan of the white splash, I think the deck is strongest in colorless form.Quote:

Caprino, responded to your PM. It was a quick overview because I wasn't sure which matchups you want sideboard tips against. Hope it helps.Quote:

My current meta is miracle, death and taxes, ant, bug and grixis..my difficult side in and side out Vs infect, bug and miracle, bug, death and taxes. I not idea side in and side out Vs this matchupQuote:

It's not cotv bad but it's enough to slow the deck down enough until you can stompy over top with your smashers and tear apart their hand with tks.Quote:

I'd probably remove the Endbringer and SSG
That's a very good question, Endbringer is amazing if it gets online but I think it's too slow... Jitte will do the same only much faster to get in play.Quote:

Rarcher bomb feels very so so to me... Likely too slow and good infect players won't over committ. Using it to kill a single creature feels pretty weak.
I'd bring in at least 2+ thorns and however many needles you run to shut down inkmoth.
Why no warping wail? Mono revoker main deck is important? Duplicant side in Vs? Thanks. Today 3 1 win Vs rug delver 2/0,dredge 2/0 G2 mull for 2 and leyline is gg, burn 2/1...lose Vs death and taxes splash green 1/2Quote:

I wanted to try something different for a tournament, and the oblivion sower build looked like fun. I ran the phillesh list here: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles...gue-2016-10-03Quote:

I felt a bit lucky as I won a bunch of matchups I shouldn't win. Burn was a race, didn't feel favorable either way. Elves didn't feel good, but the deck pulled out. UR Delver in the finals was the most difficult. The winning play was casting an oblivion sower after my opponents brainstorm exiling 2 pops.
For these matchups I sided out grim monolith, ulamog and a few of the other top end guys.
Everything else I played, UWR Stone blade, DnT and merfolk felt easy.
Cast ulamog once during the day and barely drew/used eye of Ugin. However I think having 4 would stunt the mana growth.
This was the most fun eldrazi build I played. :tongue:
Would anyone be interested in seeing a stream of Legacy Eldrazi going through a league? I'm setting up a stream in the coming weeks and I wouldn't mind doing it, especially if its full of constructive feedback
Yes please. Put the link in your flair.Quote:

Sorry it took me a while to respond. It's been a very busy weekend.
Don't feel like you have to play an identical sideboard to mine though. The maindeck IMO is optimal. However, there is no such thing as an optimal sideboard. Sideboards should reflect the meta. If your meta is one where you feel other cards like additional Dismember, Warping Wail or Pithing Needle would be helpful, I would certainly recommend playing them in the board.
There is also more sideboard information in this primer here... http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...o-Feat-10-Post
Well done and congrats on your undefeated streak.Quote:

I'm surprised by your decision to cut City of Traitors from the main deck and opt to replace low cc business spells with Grim Monolith. Seems like that would slow the deck down significantly making it harder to race.
Any reason you opted to cut City and play Monoliths in lieu of business spells?
Thanks! :)Quote:

Last week i entered into a small legacy tournament with eldrazi stompy, i used Noloam_ decklist (copy/paste):
Creatures:
4 Endless One
4 Eldrazi Mimic
4 Matter Reshaper
3 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Thought-Knot Seer
4 Reality Smasher
2 Endbringer
Spells (10)
4 Chalice of the Void
2 Umezawa's Jitte
2 Warping Wail
2 Dismember
Lands (25)
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Cavern of Souls
2 City of Traitors
4 Eldrazi Temple
4 Eye of Ugin
3 Mishra's Factory
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
3 Wasteland
Sideboard (15)
1 Karakas
2 Pithing Needle
2 Ratchet Bomb
4 Thorn of Amethyst
4 Leyline of the Void
2 All Is Dust
The results were very promising for the first time i played this deck: 3-1 which means i arrived 4th
Round one :Ad nauseam(?)0- Strompy 2
1) i aggroed him too fast tha he couldn't do nothin
2) almost the same as game one with a few tweaks, i played a creature before thorn( mistake) but i got a leyline on the play after so much effort he killed himself with ad nauseam
Round 2: Infect 1 - Eldrazi stompy 2
1) land denial and aggroed him too fast(with tought-knot seer)
2) removal + land denial won the game(pithing needle shut down nexus)
Round 3: Reanimator 2 Eldrazi stompy 0
1) he played the tyrant early ehich offset the game
2) he played the you can't attack with creatures Guy
Round 4: Eldrazi stompy (not me) 1 Eldrazy stompy (me) 2
I aggroed him faster
Notes: (i like this deck more than i should) against the decks i encountered it worked flawlessly except in the mirror match where it was weak.
Any suggestion on how to get an advantage in the mirror while not unbalancing the deck against the others.
You could try taking out a Thorn and putting in something like Endbringer (poss. Ulamog but he's much harder for your list), a third Jitte, Dismember, O. Sower (weird as a singleton but it is awesome in the mirror).Quote:

How is the Oblivion Sower version compared to the normal (noloam) version?
Why do you prefer your variant?
Main deck list is very strong...today 4 0 win Vs death and taxes 2/0, ant 2/1,ant 2/1, gw pod 2/0Quote:
