Deck Help:Eldrazi Ball

Deck Help Operation:Eldrazi Ball

A friend of mine he wants help with his so I will do my best.

Original Deck List

Forestx10
Swampx4
Kazandu Refugex1

Creatures
Nest Invaderx4
Kozilek's Predatorx4
Emrakul's Hatcherx3
Rapacious Onex3

Spells
Growth Spasmx4
Awakening Zonex4
Terminatex3
Brood Birthingx4
Fireballx3

Artifacts
Coat of Armsx4

Initial thoughts
For a constructed deck its missing a lot of power. But I do like the synergy of all the cards to make a big fireball. And his alt win condition of Coat of Arms but unfortunately Coat of Arms will always be bad.

The Cuts
Rapacious One- A 5/4 for 6 is not gonna cut it in a world of big gaint fat finishers. His ability is also just win more and if your doing damage with this guy you should be winning.

Coat of Arms-Never been good in constructed in a world full of wraths and pulses this has gotta go maybe for something less symmetrical.

Terminate and Swamps-The swamps will have to go there only place in the deck is for the terminates. Without the swamps the deck will only have to worry about its two main colors of mana. Which should make it much easier on wallet.

Fireball-Needs to become Bane Fire right now but until he cuts some will just cut it for now.

So this leaves us with 18 spots 14 nonland spells and 4 lands(will also change up the mana base as well).




Cards I want to Add

Broodwarden-This guy turns all those tokens into a threat and only gets better in multiples.
Lightning bolt-Anything running red needs this.
Hand of Emrakul-Good fat and can be a nice use of tokens if things go bad.
Kozliek, Butcher of Truth-Also good fat and nice draw my favorite eldrazi.
Vines of Vastwood-Nice way to protect some of your creatures.
Skittering Invasion-5 tokens+5mana=options
Eldrazi Temple-Auto include

Next Week:How does the new deck do? Do the new cards help? Or should the idea be scraped?

  1. A good start is Eldrazi Monument. I'd also add Dragon Appeasment and Pawn of Ulamog and maybe Warp World. Conley Woods posted something very similar to this and it looks super fun.

    I wouldn't bother with Temple. Not with three colors.
