First off, big thanx to Juwdah and his awesome Kozilek Primer on our favorite big man! I've had this deck built for a while and figured it was finally time to post it up to keep track of editing it better. My version is a little less Stax and a little more creature heavy to make it feel more interactive for my meta. Other than that, the basic premise is simple... Ramp Hard, Draw hard, Annihilate hard!
I have a blast playing this deck, but I have to admit it draws a lot of hate. I've been thinking about keeping a small deck of Archenemy schemes with it as a joke (but not really) for when I play it outside of League. I figure that'll pretty much be what we're playing at that point anyways, lol.
Been tuning it a little over the last couple months, and The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale just went in after acquiring a set of Legends, as well as Mana Crypt which I finally broke down and bought after deciding this deck was not being taken apart any time soon. I'm currently also testing Ugin's Nexus and Unstable Obelisk. I am also thinking about trying out Loreseeker's Stone. Any comments or suggestions are always welcome!
I made this deck a little more creature heavy and less staxy to try make it a little more tolerable to my playgroup and when I take it to league. The dreadnought is a bit of tech in that gives me an efficient sac outlet for Kozi without having to reveal the ability on the board first. The fact that it replaces the big man with a 12/12 trample is just icing on the cake. I've also used on Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre to reshuffle my graveyard into the library in a pinch. In addition to the efficiency, he also provides a target to eat some removal before recasting Kozi as players tend to think he's scary. I know it's a little bit janky, but it fits the playstyle I'm going for with the deck.
I've considered Vedalken Orrery, but I didn't even know Shimmer Myr was a card. I really like the idea of flash in the deck, and may swap out Copper Gnomes for him. He actually makes the Dreadnought way better if I want to use him as tech off turn. That's a great suggestion!
Damn, i want a candelabra for this deck. Does it work out often? Have you thought about Scorched Ruins? Yeah, it can backfire, but with Crucible of Worlds and the Candelabra, seems like it could be okay.
Is the tabernacle worth it? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one.
Currently waiting to get my hands on some of the new goodies from OGW. I think Kozilek, the Great Distortion is going to be the new general. And one or two of the new colorless creatures may make the cut. I've been focusing on toning down the threat level of the deck so that I can play it in league and it doesn't net me negative points and dish out epic levels of butthurt. That being said, when it's time for anothe 2 Headed Giant tournament, this list goes back to brutal!
