MTG Salvation

I've always totally loved the Eldrazi, from the flavor & story of them to their cards themselves. I made an Eldrazi themed deck that I think is alright, but I feel like it can be improved. This deck doesn't have to be Eldrazi Tribal necessarily, but I'd like to keep a strong eldrazi theme overall if possible. Here's what I run right now:



The deck just uses the Eldrazi drones and spells to ramp to larger mana as fast as possible. The mid game lets me play the lesser colorless Eldrazi, and when I hit 1 or more of the Titans, that's pretty much game over at that point.

I'd like to either splash another color (maybe blue for some protective counter spells and/or JTMS?) or even just leaving it mono-G and just speeding the deck up and such.

A combination of cloudpost, glimmerpost, vesuva with either crop rotation, sylvan scrying, reap and sow, explore or maybe mulch.
If post is hard to get, urzatron might be better. Chromatic star and prophetic prism are good fixers

See, it's kind of funny that you suggest those, because this deck started as an Eldrazi-Tron deck, and I even have an old topic with that list here:

Someone there said I should just go towards a mono-green ramp list though, which brings me back to here now.

Mono green ramp without dedicated ramp spells on each point of the curve is not really worth it. Explore, rampant growth, mulch, cultivate, explosive vegetation, more ramp.

I personally prefer 12-post + Expedition Map + Academy Ruins, but I think green ramp is fine, too. I've also seen Belbe's Portal played in this sort of deck, and you lose the "when cast" abilities, but it seems like it could be pretty powerful (you could run it with Voltaic Key for extra shenanigans...).

clearly you need a didgeridoo or two, and artificial evolution to change it to eldrazi. Just imagine the look of contempt on the other guy's face when you drop didgeridoo, and the look of horror it turns into as you change the text to eldrazi.

Descendants' Path is worth a look. Particularly if you also include ways to manipulate the top of your deck (e.g. Mirri's Guile, Sensei's Divining Top).

Not of this world can counter spells against your creatures or permanents.

I'm pretty interested in doing something similar to this - how's your deck progressing, OP?

I think you should run Polymorph and noncreature token generation such as Sprout, Awakening Zone, or Slime Molding (X doesn't have to be too much). Also, you already got Khalni Garden, so just use one of those and Spawn a massive eldrazi turn 4.

definitely awakening zone

I also run an eldrazi deck, mines red/green, and I found throwing in some quicksilver amulets always helped the decks speed a bit

If you are looking to optimize the performance of the deck a bit I would suggest replacing the 2x Eternity Vessels with 2 more forests. This will ensure that you hit your land drops more consistently. As it is, your deck is effectively only running 21 lands (Eye of Ugin is useless in the early/build up phase) which from my experience with running mono-green-fatties.deck is dangerously low. The last thing you want to be doing in a fatty deck is spending mana to cast ramp spells to compensate for the land drop you missed.

On a more personal preference, I would replace the 4x Khalni Garden with forests as well. No reason to slow yourself down.
