Deck Description

New Modern Pod centered around Eldritch Evolution in a combo driven build with allosaurus rider and maybe gurmag angler

How to Play

turn 1: thoughtseize/inquisition for removal or hierarch
turn 2: if hierarch go for greed if HD then HD again if possible if not play hierarch or removal
turn 3: live the dream and get that 9 drop

Against Jund/Junk get Sigarda
Against Burn/Fish/Dredge/Nahiri/Infect get Iona
Against Affinity/Tron get Akroma
Against Toolbox/Affinity get Inkwell Leviathan
Against Zoo/ Faeries/ Boggles get Elesh Norn


Fulminator/Finks/Courser give value off of EE as they can either be fetched off a Hierarch or used to get a Sigarda or Thragtusk

Note the searching nature of this deck lets you run a lot of one ofs in side
Might be worth trimming the high end and playing in a coco hybrid shell

Deck discussion for Evolution

If you are trying to have the Allosaurus Rider be the sacrifice outlet, then maybe investing in more green cards, and less pay off's like inkwell, sigarda, and empyrial archangel. They just don't do enough to combat other decks.

I think sigarda is good against jund and its a 5 drop to chain but yea empyrial might be unnecessary

Two things. First, Allosaurus Rider alternative cost is quite costly, you're putting yourself down by two cards, and they're not even going to the graveyard. Yes, you get to combo into something huge, but I personally see the cost being too much.

Secondly, and I have no idea how viable this is, I just had an idea on how to get Eldritch Evolution into the graveyard after it exiles itself: Pull from Eternity. Once it's back in the graveyard, all you need to do is use Snappy or Goblin Dark-Dwellers on it. This is just an idea to get more uses out of Eldritch Evolution.

I don't know how viable it is hence the potential swap for gurmag angler
but I am curious for pull from eternity don't know how efficient that will be though I don't see many games where I need 2 evos to win

I could use a hand on mine, I do like the Sigarda addition for Jund/Junk I hadn't thought of that.

I like Sigarda a lot in that matchup and its quite a large matchup.
Youre biggest issue is both have two colors of removal so iona doesn't necessarily save you plus lili veil making you sac your win con is rough.
Sigarda answers both of those problems in a nice neat 5/5 that junk/junk is going to have a hard time killing.
