Let's say I attack with Emrakul the Aeons Torn and in response my opponent plays Polymorphist's Jest, what happens exactly? Does he still have to sacrifice 6 permanents since he used P/J after I declared Emrakul as attacking?
Question, I cast Red Sun's Zenith and target my opponent's Spiritmonger, dealing him lethal damage. Can the Spiritmonger still regenerate or no? Reason I ask is would he not be put into a graveyard if he is regenerated?
So this is a really fun Eldrazi deck I have put together. In casual play it has dominated. I'd like to get everyone's thought's on how I could improve it for true Legacy play. I know I would have to get rid of all my Sol Rings. To my knowledge everything else is legal. What would be some good replacements to the sol rings? Obviously some other form of mana booster. I could do another Elvish Piper, those are always fun with Eldrazi's.
As I pondered what would be the best colors for an Eldrazi deck, Primeval Titan and Elvish Piper instantly caught my attention. Get the titan out early and you've got your Eye of Ugin just like that and one other land! Then you attack next turn and as far as mana for Eldrazi you now have at least 8 more than the turn before. Not to mention, creatures put into play under the piper can't be countered! So I figured green obviously, and plenty of mana boosting to come with it. Then there's the amazing Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile that are pretty much the two best one creature removal cards in the game, can't pass that up. Throw a little bit of white in there and I am good to go, green and white.
Thus far this deck kills quickly and has done well against blue - being that the 'cast' abilities of the Eldrazi still triggers when the Eldrazi is countered, and Summoning Trap always pisses off your opponent, especially when Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is right there near the top of your library.
So I think you guys get the basic idea of the deck. Thought's, question, suggestions, criticism?? Oh also I need to make a sideboard too, don't have that yet.
Gotcha, but I can place a creature enchant on my opponent's creatures? Say I put Armadillo Cloak on my opponent's Spiritmonger, being that I control the creature enchant would I not be the one to gain the life?
Oh great. So I equip it onto my opponent's Emrakul, he then attacks me for 17 damage. I have 10 life currently. Do I then take the 17 damage and gain the 17 life right back or am I dead first?

On the draw if I have at least 2 forests (or green mana) and either a Sol Ring, an Overgrown Battlement, or a Nest Invader; I'm sitting pretty for the start. Then put down a Kozilek's Predator and next turn a Primeval Titan, the Eldrazi's start pouring in from there.

Thank you!
