Deck Description

My take on a monogreen Eldrazi deck.

Feedback:
It doesn't have to be legal, but I'm aiming to not have it exceed $500 on the high end, as I'm not a very rich person.
As it is now, I'm concerned I'm missing something crucial. Let me know if that's the case.

Edit: January 26th 2014:
Took out Hand of Emrakul and Skittering Invasion.
Added Elvish Piper, Elvish Mystic and Emrakul the Aeons Torn.

Deck discussion for Eldrazi Ramp

Are we working on a budget? Are we trying to keep it modern? Is this about flavor or mechanic interacting well? What is the context of feedback you would like?

Didn't really think about that question at the time of posting this deck, but I want an Eldrazi ramp deck for a reasonable price (i.e. not above $500) that I can have fun playing with against my friends. There's no official FNM scene around where I live, so along those lines would be nice.

It doesn't have to be legal, but I do want it to work well as a whole. Much of the ideas for this deck is based on a deck available in the Magic 2014 game on Steam.

I love the idea, and it's so cheap! I personally think colorless Eldrazi decks are the way to do it though man. Cloudpost is your best friend when trying to cast Eldrazi... Check mine out! It's under 300 if you shop correctly. Haven't lost with it against friends yet. http://www.mtgvault.com/shobbzane/decks/eldrazi-the-best-way/

I would also suggest putting more low cost cards in this deck, it could lose very quickly against some rush style decks! I drew 5 hands and would've only played 1 of them probably. I suggest some Boreal Druids, or some Viridian Acolytes!

Taking some damage early on is fine, in my opinion. There's very few people in my circle of MtG friends that play that kind of decks, so not having any creature plays until turn 4 and up is all good in my book. I'll look into your suggestions, but the question is: What should I take out to make room for them?

Take out your Hand of Emrakuls, and Skittering Invasions!

I've taken a look, and Veridian Acolyte is a strange one to suggest for a mono green deck. I might pop a couple of Elvish Mystics in there, but that's as far as I'd go, I think. I don't like having non-land mana sources anywhere but in EDH, but it might be what this deck needs.

Viridian Acolyte trades one colorless for a colored mana. In that sense, I'm not getting any further ahead in terms of mana production.

Thanks for your input. It's greatly appreciated. :)

That card is very expensive, not just in mana but also price. Unless I take the leap up to 65 or maybe even 70 cards, I can't see myself being able to cast Emrakul on a consistent basis. Creature based mana might be the way to go, but it's always felt unreliable.

If you know a good way to cast Emrakul, with the current deck in mind, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

... Why didn't I know about this card sooner?

There's only one problem, and that being that it's put on the battlefield, not cast. I want those extra turns, damnit! :D

That's the problem. Elvish Piper is really only going to be useful to you if you have more high cost creatures you want to play, and Emrakul, and Artisan of Kozilek are only good for annihilation at that point.

reminds me of the M14 duel of the planeswalkers mana ramp deck
