  • posted a message on Dimir Eldrazi


    That's my friend's list, and I've been streaming with it pretty regularly the last week or so and the results have been pretty fricken good. Something like 17-8 I think? Not bad at all.

    I've messed around with the build a bit, this is what I'm currently on:

    22 LANDS
    4 Cavern of Souls
    4 Eldrazi Temple
    3 Gemstone Caverns
    2 Sanctum of Ugin
    1 Snow-Covered Island
    4 Unclaimed Territory
    4 Underground River

    28 CREATURES
    2 Abundant Maw
    4 Elder Deep-Fiend
    4 Eldrazi Skyspawner
    4 Eternal Scourge
    4 Matter Reshaper
    4 Reality Smasher
    4 Thought-Knot Seer
    1 Wretched Gryff
    1 Distended Mindbender

    4 INSTANTS and SORC.
    3 Dismember
    1 Warping Wail

    6 OTHER SPELLS
    2 Chalice of the Void
    4 Serum Powder

    SIDEBOARD
    1 Chalice of the Void
    2 Distended Mindbender
    1 All is Dust
    4 Leyline of the Void
    3 Ratchet Bomb
    1 Sanctum of Ugin
    1 Spatial Contortion
    1 Warping Wail
    1 Endbringer

    Some thoughts on the changes I've made:
    1) Flood is absolutely miserable for this deck, as you have no real way to use the extra mana. I decided to cut down a land to try to mitigate that, as I've been losing to flood WAY more often than losing to screw, and the powerful (powderful?) serum package really helps you find functional hands. I cut the wastes because I don't think its super important because you can cast your colorless stuff with serums anyway if you get blood mooned.

    2) I've run into the issue of not being able to cast EDF because of colored mana issues quite a bit. I'd ideally like another colored source in the deck but honestly I'm not really sure what that would be and what the cut would be for it.

    3) Added a fourth way to deal with thing in the ice to the main and another to the SB because I've been playing against that card (and losing to it) a lot.

    4) I changed the SB quite a bit. I didn't think that Drowner or spellskite was doing a lot for us there.
