[Primer] Eldrazi Stompy

[Noloam_]

well done! the omnitell player was lucky big time i guess

[Darkness]

Alright.

6 rounds of swiss today.

List: see signature of Noloam_ and replace a Wasteland with a 2nd Urborg... ;)

Match 1 - Dredge
G1, mull to 6 on the draw, pretty weak game, Dredge was allowed to dredge a lot, hitting 2 Bridges, Therapy and Narcomoeba with the 2nd Stinkweed Imp. Easy lose.
G2 & G3, Leyline of the Lulz, no mulls.

Match 2 - Miracles
G1, mull to 6 on the play, he landed an early Mentor but I managed to draw a Dismember, which he wasn't able to counter, then double Smasher for the win.
G2, mull to 6, he resolved a Blood Moon but I was able to hit my landdrops and resolve a late All is Dust. Being free to cast uncounterable Eldrazi he wasn't able to defend any longer.

Match 3 - Belcher
G1, on the play, I know the player and his deck so I kept a turn 1 TKS, stealing his important Seething Song, Opponent wasn't able to recover.
G2, mull to 6, Opponent turn 1 emptied his warrens for 12 Goblins. Fun.
G3, mull to 6, Turn 1 Thorn, Turn 2 Thorn, Turn 3 TKS. Fun!

Match 4 - OmniTell
G1, on the draw, Opponent had the Turn 2 Show and Tell with Omniscience, I threw in a TKS, double Enter the Infinite in Opponent's hand. -_-
G2, mull to 6, keeping Endless One, Eldrazi Mimic, Confusion in the Ranks. Opponent went for the Turn 3 Show and Tell and I got to trade my Endless One for his Emrakul. NICE!
G3, mull to 5, landing Chalice X=1, stealing Show and Tell with TKS but he was able to topdeck into another Show and Tell and I only was able to throw in a Karakas for nothing.

Match 5 - Miracles
G1, on the play, quite a long game but no mentor, got Eye online and the Smashers brought it home.
G2, mull to 6, used a Wasteland for his Tundra, cutting my Opponent off White for 3 turns, netting enough time to establish a board and steal a StP with TKS.

Match 6 - ANT
G1, mull to 6 on the draw. Opponent snap keeped, pew pew.
G2, mull to 6, Chalice X=0, Chalice X=1 and caused my Opponent to concede after casting Turn 3 Thorn.
G3, keep 7, starting with Leyline, Opponent probed, I had Chalice, Tomb and Thorn in hand, "Wow, don't think I can win this one", he was right.

5-1, only losing to that damn OmniTell again.
Cashed in my voucher for a foil Chalice of the Void (now I want 3 more ... :D ) and the last missing FtV Ancient Tomb.

It was a very funny day, kind opponents all the way.

Saw a lot of DnT today, but dodged them all. :P

Congrats on your results!

Update for all, I am 132 games in with my testing since I have begun and am at 73% win ratio, deck is bonkers.

I am thinking of taking out the Ulamog for a 3rd All is Dust, helpful in both the Shardless and Miracle matches. I have replaced both Ratchet Bombs with the the Enbringer and a 3rd SB Oblivion Sower, though I may consider taking it out if I remove the Ulamog.

[MasterHerC]

Yeah,

no mulls for him.

But he only ended up 4-2.

Sideboard felt good, but I somehow miss the single Ratchet Bomb.
May return it for the Ulamog, I am not sure about him. (:

[razvan]

I had 3 All is Dust since inception almost and it's never bad. I would go to 4 if I could. I guess I can!

All paper games. 5 round Swiss cut to top 8

Match 1 - Oops All Spells - Win 2-1
G1, Oops I died
G2, Mulled to 2 for Leyline of the Void. He beat me with Burnt Ape & Undercity Informer till I was down to 6 before I finally topdecked lands to brick his threats with TKS and Displacer.
G3, He did not go off in T1. CotV =0 & Thorn prompted the concession.

Match 2 - Shardless BUG - Loss 0-2
G1, Swamped to death with CA and Shardless blind cascading into free Visions.
G2, Glissa & Strix forms a super wall I cannot breach.

Match 3 - Lands - Win 2-1
G1, T1 triple Mimic + 2/2 Endless One into TKS = gg
G2, Wastelocked from Exploration and Crucible
G3, Bloody slugfest. Had an early Leyline which slowed him down considerably. When he finally Gambled for the Grip to remove my Leyline, I had the Urborg at the ready to deploy and cast another Leyline. He conceded after I drew Needle to stop the Maze of Ith.

Match 4 - DnT - Win 2-1
G1, Got luckily after he aggressively wasted my sol-lands via drawing sol lands turn after turn.
G2, Slugfest again. Ratchet bombed his T3 Germ token and got him down to 1. Flickerwisp flickering Batterskull is bad for racing.
G3, I got Jitte online before him.

Match 5 Dredge - Loss 2-1
Scooped my friend into top 8.

Top 8
QF - Dredge - Win 2-1
Is my same friend I scooped into top 8. 3rd seed vs me 6th seed.
G1, Drew both Warping Wails to go for his Bridges and exile his Ichorid to stop his shenanigans.
G2, T0 Leyline is met with T1 Wear/Tear. He has 20+ cards in T2 via Cathartic Reunion
G3, 2 Mimic + 2 2/2 Endless One into TKS = win. I call this the modern Eldrazi Winter nut draw

SF - B/R Reanimator - Win 2-0
G1, T1 Sire of Insanity is met with top decked City of Traitors into Dismember. I won with 3 life remaining after Wailing his 2nd Exhume.
G2, T0 Leyline + T1 Mimic met a T1 Show and Tell for Blazing Archon. I showed an Endbringer which stopped his onslaught and aggressively drew for Dismember + Warping Wail.

Finals - Shardless BUG - Loss 2-0
Same dude from R2. Died the same way

I am going to move to the colourless build as there are multiple times the Displacers get stranded in my hand and the Modern Eldrazi Winter starts provided a lot of free wins which I love (and likely the colourless version will provide more of).

then you can instantly scoop to ensnaring bridge. a lot of miracles deck run bridges. i already had moments where i had double AID on hand. i can tell you, that is super annoying

[Amunshax]

@Noloam, is Oblivion Sower so much better then Endbringer? Because alot of the Eldrazi Lists have switched to Sower

[Noloam_]

jup it is better because it is easier to cast/ cant get dismember / has vallue even when it is countered. If you dont run a show and tell hate package in the sideboard then i whould still run endbringer. Because without any buisness, you are just dead

[Amunshax]

Ok thank you, but i wonder why not going to 2 Urborg with the Sower's to use all the Fetchie's you get

[Noloam_]

Because your control matches will become worse, when you draw dubble eye and/or urborg.

Yea it may be excessive to have 3 AiD. I was just considering it since I really enjoy them in other matches. How has Ulamog been for everyone else? He is still so so for me never saw any real action.

i think ulamog is solid and i will keep it. I wrecked Esper blade an miracles with it today. I removed batterskul + jace vs esper XD

today 5-0

-eldrazi & taxes
-shardless
-Miracles
-esper blade
-Aggro loam

the AID was really a hideous card vs aggro loam, the garruk is not in this picture





im now number 1 in the league together with isthisacatinahat and hoppelars

Noloam, you bring Ulamog in the Shardless with your current 75?

[tangster]

I have two questions:

1) Confusion in the Ranks seems very strong vs Show and Tell, but how does something like Ashen Rider compare?

2) Noloam, you mentioned before that you didn't really like BFZ Ulamog that much, why is it included now? It's really just for long grindy matches that would play problem cards like bridges moats and humility right? How about playing World Breaker then? Needs caverns but it's cost is much more achievable and casting it possibly a few turns earlier seems much better.

Thanks!

Noloam and I have talked about the Worldbreaker and the colored inclusion and overall you just weaken the deck and land utility that the color access grants you. The Ulamog is there for the enchantment hate you have mentioned and for the mirror. I haven't found a card I like replacing it with yet so it is still in my 75. I tried a Bant Eldrazi (resembling the modern version) list for about 50 matches and decided it is better for the creature matches but worse against the combo decks. I think colorless is the way to go.

Ahh, because I've seen some lists run the Worldbreakers (with only Caverns as green source), wondered how that works out.

I'm actually going to GP Chiba this weekend, I'm just trying to finalize on my sideboard. Currently on Noloam's sower build with non-confusion sideboard.
Taking out 2 Ratchet Bombs and an Endbringer weakens the Eldrazi mirror though (and some other token based strategies and low CMC decks like delver, DNT etc), isn't that a concern?

I really don't have a decent idea what the Japanese meta is, but apparently it's pretty standard (with occasional weird brews like always).

[Noloam_]

No. Most of the time, you dont have enough mana dor it. but bringing it in is not actually bad in my opinion

If you go to japan, play confusion. Japan is THE omnitell country


You play confusion over ashen rider, because you rather get the permanent then destroying it

Thanks noloam, did not know show and tell was so prevalent there actually, I'll submit using your confusion list. Thank you!!
