[Primer] Eldrazi Stompy

[pateuglow]

That is a spicy deck. Curious how explosive it is and what the rest of the 2k meta looked like

Also, FWIW, I went 3-0 at a local legacy event (drew rd 4 and split prizes in top 8) with the colorless build that noloam has been on

I kept Warping Wail and Spatial Contortion in the MB

Added 2 Ankh of Mishra in the SB for Lands (card was solid vs Miracles as well, taking 5 for playing a fetchland then saccing it to grab a Volc was great)

Got around to playing another couple leagues today for the first time since my last 5-0 a week ago.

Went 3-2 and 5-0.

The 3-2 consisted of losing to Painter and Storm (I didn't mulligan correctly/well perhaps).

The 5-0 I went on to beat Painter from the previous league, SnT, Opposition, UR Delver, and Grixis Delver.

Still liking the Thorn's in testing, we'll see. Just feels like they grab % points in the popular matchups (Miracles, Storm, Delver).

I might try switching to Warping Wails and testing those out.

Just want to move away from Dismember mainboard (its just painful paying that life against delver, or having it in hand vs combo decks). That said if I start seeing more Goyfs and Anglers, it'll make a reappearance.

I'm going to run a few leagues with 4 maindeck Warping Wail perhaps.

I haven't been running into the mirror at all. Or infect (which doesn't surprise me as much as missing the mirror).

Gratz man! ankh seems pretty sweet. I Always lose to lands XD

[benjiman13]

I did. Its a white eldrazi stax. I can PM you the list if you want.

Yes please! I want to play again prison!

[pateuglow]

Thanks man- Ankh was prob sub optimal over All is Dust (couldn't find mine)

Will be adding 2x AID and seeing if Ankh can find a flex spot in the board. My local meta is very competitive focused. Miracles, Lands, Shardless, Grixis, Infect, D&T

I like that whitedrazi list, except i'd run jailer over kavu, and maybe not all 4 displacers because it's really mana intensive, not something you want to see in multiples usually, and it doesn't have particularly good targets in the deck (except jailer i guess).

Except that any time you can flicker a Smasher it will trigger your Mimics into 5/3's, flicker your TKS to exile a triggered Miracle card, flicker any creature targeted by a removal spell to counter said spell, etc., so on and so forth. Also, you don't always get Chalice early, and Displacer is pretty solid to use to draw out removal/permission, so drawing a second one is not such a big deal.

if you cant choose between D&T and Colorless eldrazi, make white eldrazi

[pateuglow]

Noloam - any significant changes you'd make to the MB in a paper event?

My meta is mostly Miracles, Infect, Lands, Grixis, Shardless, D&T.... basically all the T1 decks and then some randoms thrown in like Burn, NicFit, etc

Thanks! Taking your colorless build into a league tonight.

I gave this some thought and i think you should still run my normal build. Because this is what i also encouter online

If you have the feeling that you wont see a lot of combo, but think you will see (UR) burn decks

-1 thorn
-1 karakas

+2 Basilisk Collar

Good luck with your event! keep me posted on your results

Except that list isn't running mimics? But ok. 3 mana is a lot to keep open only to dodge removal too, you need pressure not to keep that open.

But ok.

[Secretly.A.Bee]

Condescend all you like, I think not playing Mimics is a mistake. I also never said I was basing my comments off the list. My post speaks only to Eldrazi Stompy and Displacer in a general sense. 3 mana isn't a lot to keep open if you have a Displacer and a TKS or Smasher live through a turn, and if they do sneak a removal spell through that is okay, it's having access to it in general so the option is there for when you need it.

I wasn't criticizing you, so I don't understand the childish attitude....
