Blinking Eldrazi

by scottymandingo on 02 December 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I think this deck could work and work well, but I need some help. It seems like it could go a lot faster.

The idea is to blink Nest Invaders/Kozilek's Predators to really get the Spawn tokens out there, then start hard casting the big guys. Training Grounds to lower activated abilities. Growing Ranks to populate.

Like I said, it seems like this could be a lot better, but I'm having a hard time thinking of anything.

Also need help with a sideboard.

Any comments or thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

Deck discussion for Blinking Eldrazi

Not to bad I like that you are blinking in token producers.
Here is my Eldrazi deck if you are interested in seeing it. I used Urza lands instead of token generators to ramp.

Side board is a problem for this deck. I had a problem trying to figure out what to use on my board.

Thanks. Do you have any suggestions besides the Urza lands?

I'll be sure to check out your deck!

You could use the Eldrazi lands. Eldrzai Temple you could add 4 of that card to your deck. Use only 5 Islands and make make the others Temples. You don't need that many Islands being that you are only running three cards that cost Blue to play ( Smuggler, Navigator and Training Grounds ). Those 5 Islands and the 4 Hinterland should be enough for you. You don't want to draw into an Island when you need a forest.
Use more ramp to ( Rampant Growth, and Culptivate ) you always want land in hand when playing high casting cost creature. Or maybe even use Mana Reflection.
They don't cost much either bout 4 dollars if that.
For side board put some enchantment and creature removal on there.
If you look at my sideboard that should help with some ideas. Us

Yeah, the Eldrazi lands may help, but I'm thinking I should have enough tokens and lands to be able to take care of it, though. You're totally right about the mana base. I don't know why I have so many Islands.

Mana Reflection seems a little to cost heavy, which sounds kind of silly about an Eldrazi deck. I don't think ramping should be the focus, I think getting more tokens out should be the key. That's really what I'm trying to accomplish with this deck.

I don't want Beast tokens, I want Eldrazi Spawns so I can use them for mana.

For lands you could run the "twelve-post" which is Vesuva, Cloudpost, and Glimmerpost along with some land acceleration to get A LOT of mana really fast. Just and idea, +1 here.

If you have time, check out my newest deck please called Faerie Chemistrickery here:

I would run Cloudpost, but I want to keep it Modern legal and Cloudpost is banned in Modern. :(
