It's a pain free way to have R for obligator, W for displacer and U for Drowner, and still provide C for the rest.

What do you mean? It is a colorless source that can add color for the Obligator/Displacer/Drower.

How often do you find yourself without a creature in play at the end step?

Re: [DTB] Eldrazi Stompy

I have not yet tested the list. I think that it may be good but part of Eldrazi"s strength is that the decks mana is explosive and consistent. Messing with the mana base may give you alternative options to cards but can come at the cost of losing your consistency. I would like to see more results from the list that made top 8 at eternal weekend. I don't think we have enough information to say it's good or bad, this is just my first impression.

1. You do not like to bring in thorn against infect? You think it is not worth it? I know it doesn't stop creatures or berserk, but they would have to pay 1 for invigorate.
2. Did you see the UWR Eldrazi list that top 8'd Eternal Weekend? Thoughts on that vs Colorless?
3. There is no Jund in your primer. I ended up boarding the same as you recommended for Shardless. Makes sense?
4. Have you tested Endbringer over Oblivion Sower in the main?

For Reference:
DECK
4 Eldrazi Mimic
4 Endless One
3 Eldrazi Displacer
3 Eldrazi Obligator
4 Thought-Knot Seer
4 Reality Smasher
1 Drowner of Hope
4 Chalice of the Void
3 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Umezawa’s Jitte
3 Warping Wail
2 Dismember
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Eldrazi Temple
3 Eye of Ugin
1 Karakas
4 Cavern of Souls
4 Aether Hub
4 Corrupted Crossroads

SIDEBOARD
3 Drowner of Hope
1 Relic of Progenitus
1 Urborg, Tomb Yawgmoth
4 Leyline of the Void
1 Pithing Needle
1 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Warping Wail
1 Batterskull
2 All is Dust

Thanks for any advice!

I think for infect you would want thorns but it ends up like being delver, you will end up taking out too many essential cards diluting your game plan. You will get a large number of draws where you only have thorns and chalices and no other interaction. Thanks for the call out of Jund, I completely forgot as most Jund players moved to shardless. Reviewing the car selection I think boarding like it was Shardless BUG is fine. I will review with Noloam to ensure accuracy.

i whould not run thorns against infect. they also play noble H and have spells that cost 0 mana like invigorate. playing a thorn go, usually means you take another swing. Sometimes you cant even afford to play the chalice on the draw, you have to keep removal up. But chalice is way better than thorn. So thats not something that i whould recommend

Agreed they can play around it and dilutes what we are doing too much.

I built it online and lost my first 3 matches in a league, all 1-2. I lost to BG Depths which I think is easier for UWR thanks to Displacer to permanently exile, Drowner to tap, and Obligator for a 1-swing win. I think there was variance, but I will probably try at least once more.

Overall I am up to 11-3 with Colorless with 1 match left in my third league. City is very good at times, but very awkward at others. I will probably switch back and forth for the rest of the week while I test for SCG Baltimore.

Which list? Colorless is noloam's and darkness's most recent from the previous page. You can also find the UWR in the last page, too.

Re: [DTB] Eldrazi Stompy

Hello again everyone,

I had been playing with Wg version(Barook's list) at Columbus and through the summer. However it seems that since early August people have either stopped playing with the white splash or just at least stopped talking about it.

Loams list with sower does look interesting (and I am willing to try it out), but is anyone having any success with the white splash still? I love displaced and I am finding it hard to come up with a 75-card list that doesn't include it.

Thanks!

Edit: the 2x Karakas in the main always felt good too. Karakas (along with displacer) felt like it gave the deck a fighting chance against both Sneak and Show and Lands.

Re: [DTB] Eldrazi Stompy

Ok, so 15-5 in 4 leagues. Losses have been to 2x 4c Delver, Aluren, Dragon Stompy, and the mirror. In the mirror I think they were on 4 Sower, 1 Ulamog. I have faced that person 4 times and only lost once, but the 2 extra Sowers ramping to Ulamog is a beating. Overall the deck has performed very well and I will be running close to, if not the exact 75 Darkness and Noloam play at Baltimore.

I think it was this list: http://imgur.com/a/0dsb4

Meta call I guess? I am still on the W splash Eldrazi with 3 Displacer and 2 Karakas. My Paper meta has a lot of reanimator, lands and miracles which makes for a great meta call to continue on with the W splash. However NoLoam's new list does much better a lot of times, it is like playing Affinity in Modern. Opponent bring plenty of hate? Kill them with NoLoam's list before the hate card matters.

Re: [DTB] Eldrazi Stompy

Todd Stevens tried to created Rudy Brzika on SCG for his "take" on eldrazi. I posted a reply that Rudy took it from Noloam. Busted.

Also, currently 52-14 with the Noloam list.
