#Magic duels eldrazi deck series

Kitchen_Finks took the deck through a Standard League on MTGO to a 5-0 finish.It will be the 4th game in the Duels of the Planeswalkers series produced by Stainless Games. Some of that may be the high prices and card availability, and some may be the ease of building Atarka Red online and how tough of a matchup that can be for Ramp, so time will tell if the Eldrazi have what it takes. In the first couple weeks of Standard, there havenвЂ™t been any outstanding successes from the GR Ramp decks. These do so much work in so many grindy midrange or control matchups that they definitely earn their name.

The big standout is the 4 copies of World Breaker. I would love to see some Reality Smashers in the sideboard, but itвЂ™s possible they arenвЂ™t needed or as strong as the other options. The inclusion of KozilekвЂ™s Return gives a weaker ramp spell like Map the WastesВ far more utility in being able to search out a basic Mountain early enough in the game that it matters. Playing 4 copies of the good ramp spells is critical. If the deck still canвЂ™t beat mono-red in game 1 with the Offshoots main, and I suspect it canвЂ™t, I would be even more inclined to move them to the sideboard. IвЂ™m not big on main-deck Jaddi Offshoots, but itвЂ™s possible thatвЂ™s just necessary. With no real way to draw more cards outside of Hedron Archives and the loan Conduit of Ruin, this could be an uphill climb, although far from a deal breaker.Д«rad Nelson posted a sample list of the Ramp deck he was building and itвЂ™s much more in line with what I would like to see: GR Eldrazi Ramp Brad Nelson A reasonable amount of the time you will cast your ramp spells and have nothing to do. There are 6 вЂњbigвЂќ spells that cost more than 4 mana in the deck-3 Ulamogs, 1 Kozilek, and 2 Ugins. Thought-Knot Seer is an awesome card, but you donвЂ™t actually have a ton to ramp into. I do love a card like Hedron Archive, although if KolaghanвЂ™s Command and Utter End remain heavily played, it canвЂ™t make the cut. NissaвЂ™s Renewal is too slow to be relevant, especially if you are shaving the good ramp spells. These are the best ramp spells in Standard and the cards IвЂ™m most looking to cast Negate on in the early game when playing against Eldrazi. I donвЂ™t have interest in cutting any copies of NissaвЂ™s Pilgrimage or Explosive Vegetations in my ramp decks. Next, Chris isВ shaving on the best ramp spells to actually play these creatures. This deck leans heavily on Rattleclaw Mystic and Leaf Gilder for mana ramp, playing 4 copies of each, and they are unlikely to ever survive in a world where people are loading up on these removal spells already. How about Esper Dragons? All of these decksВ are filled with cards like Fiery Impulse, Roast, and Ultimate Price,В whichВ do little to nothing against a typical Eldrazi Ramp deck, but are fantastic here. Take a look at a Jeskai Black, Mardu, or even a mono-red deck. One of the reasons to love Eldrazi Ramp decks is because of how many dead cards opponents are going to have against you. I dislike this deck on basically everyВ level. HereвЂ™s a look at a mono-green Eldrazi deck: Mono-Green Eldrazi Chris Brickey, 2nd place in a Standard Open Sea Gate Wreckage is great in aggressive decks that can empty their hand, but itвЂ™s unlikely to be overly powerful in the green versions, and even less likely in a ramp deck. ItвЂ™s also a good land to activate and sacrifice to World Breaker. Crumbling Vestige is nice forВ fixing mana, casting KozilekвЂ™s Return, and then casting Kozilek later. Wastes is an option in that it can be searched by all the basic land ramp, but it is not a powerful card. In a ramp strategy, I prefer the sweeper.ДЄs far as lands go, there isnвЂ™t much to get excited about. In an aggressive deck, Spatial Contortion will go a long way towardВ making your deck viable with solid removal. In a deck that doesnвЂ™t want to play red mana or wants to play mana creatures, Contortion is a solid option.

ItвЂ™s also a weaker option than KozilekвЂ™s Return.

Spatial Contortion is a very solid removal spell that can kill Goblins, Jace, VrynвЂ™s Prodigy, Mantis Rider, and many more.
