So I am new to MTG after quitting a few years back, so I'm just getting into the swing of things again - so please excuse anything stupid I may ask or say
Here is my deck idea for an Eldrazi Mana Ramp Deck ready to be used in M11 - it's mono Green:
Land (22)
-12x Forest
-4x Dread Statuary
-2x Eye Of Ugin
-4x Eldrazi Temple
Spells (17)
-4x Growth Spasm
-3x Skittering Invasion
-2x All Is Dust
-3x Awakening Zone
-4x Not of This World
-1x Eldrazi Conscription (getting a 2nd, will replace a Not of This World)
Creatures (21)
-4x Birds of Paradise
-4x Nest Invader
-2x Kozilek's Predator
-4x Broodwarden
-2x Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
-2x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
-2x Artisan of Kozilek
-1x It That Betrays
Total (60)
Looking for suggestions/comments/whatever..if you plan on ripping apart my deck, atleast be constructive about it please
I am going to start by listing the cards I don't like:
Eldrazi conscription
not of this world
It that betrays
dread statuary
The obvious first addition would be finishing the playset of awakening zone. I would also consider adding a few copies of
llanowar elf. You may also want some more eldrazi as only having 6 (or 7 in your current list) can make it problematic when you want to cast them. Artisan of kozilek is pretty weak as it does not really have any targets, I love the card but it is just missing a deck right now. I think dread statuary could be replaced with
tectonic edge or forests but that is a personal choice.
I will admit that I don't like the spawn token ramp deck that much but I have been stomped by it so I won't deny that it works well. We talked a while about the concept
here, it may give you some ideas for your list.
Well the Artisans are good for bringing back eldrazi that were countered or spawn-generator creatures from graveyard. If you think I need more eldrazi, which ones? I can understand the tectonic edge replacing the dread statuary.
Artisans can't bring back one of the legendary eldrazi as they shuffle themselves (as well as your graveyard) back into your deck. For the right eldrazi count I would run 3 Ulamog as the best legenary eldrazi to cast (emrakul is better to cheat into play and is far more difficult to cast). I would still run a copy of emrakul to tutor up with eye of ugin. I would test spawnsire, if you can get it to work consistently running 3-4 should make the deck pretty solid. Kozilek is overrated but is not too horrible and could be a 1-2 of if spawnsire does not work.
I also think you want a playset of expedition map to tutor up eldrazi temple or eye of ugin which is pretty important for the deck.
I would agree with browncoat lose the dread statuary for tectonic edge (but only to be used on man lands, never good to have a mana ramp deck that kills its own lands)
I would swap 1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn for Ulamog, he's hardcore i've lost every game he's been played against me.
Maybe swap Skittering Invasion for explore, as I think its a very slow card and its alway better to be ramping with land and not things that give mana as a once off.
Not of This World I'd replace with arbor elf, personally I dont like this card counters in green just dont feel right.
Eldrazi Conscription for the crusher one, its better to have a guy than an enchament for a guy.
I have a jund ramp deck, but i don't have any mythic eldrazi for it, so i subbed in
Gaea's Revenge. I love her much.
