Okay so I have built a Kozilek, Butcher of Thruth deck, It is sort of all ove rteh place right now though. i have some artifact creatures, Some Eldrazi creatures and it is kind of weird. I mean it works (went 2-1 tonight with it and Kozilek came out early each game.)
But i was wnating to chnage that a bit. i want to make it a Tribal, Cstt reduction deck, essentially I want to be able to play multiple Eldrazi a turn (preferably for fre.
Kozilek provides the fuel, Kozi 2.0 also provids fuel. and perhaps i will find ways of drawing even more cards that provide fuel. (Howling mine?) A am also running Static orb and Winter Orb (Clock of Omens is a superstar in this deck)
So the issue here is cost reduction cards. What do I need? I mean I already ave the basic tribal reduction, Herald's Horn, Urza's Incubator. I have neutral reduction like Helm of Awakening, Planar Gate and The Immortal Sun. And then I also have Eye of Ugin which reduces the price of the Eldrazi. (With all in play, That is -9 on the cost. What else do I need?) (There should be more Reducers out there. Tribal reducers preferred, Or self reduction only.)
Anvil is the only one I am not sure about. Simply due to how situational it will be. Exiling An Eldrazi may very well be unfortunate. I would rather not have the reduction than have it in hand and have to exile something like Ulamog, The Ceaseless hunger just to get a reduction.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
However if i get all my reducers, Kozilek would cost 0, 0, 1. not that i can get all my reducers by time i cat him the first time, but who knows, maybe i will pull off another game where I am making 20+ mana a turn (Thanks to blinkmoth Urn and sculpting steel) cast Kozi, draw 4 and then play some more reducers.
It was a fast deck and I just want to make it a little faster. (Playing with no colors is hard though when you are use to having access to tutors and counter-magic.)

That aside, there’s always good old ramp: Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Ancient Tomb, Thran Dynamo and so on.
