Hand of Emrakul

Creature — Eldrazi

You may sacrifice four Eldrazi Spawn rather than pay Hand of Emrakul's mana cost.

Annihilator 1 (Whenever this creature attacks, defending player sacrifices a permanent.)

I think Hand of Emrakul, Decimator of the Provinces, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, and Pathrazer of Ulamog are too expensive to cast / commander ability for what they do. Some replacement examples would be: Terastodon, Void Winnower, Fleshbag Marauder, Noxious Gearhulk, Ravenous Chupacabra, Plaguecrafter, Eternal Witness, It That Betrays, Woodfall Primus, Acidic Slime, Ob Nixilis, Unshackled, Sepulchral Primordial, Overseer of the Damned, etc.

cards like Dalek Squadron with a sac outlet will get you a lot of Meren counters quickly. cards like Greater Good are great at filling your graveyard and your hand. cards like Oversold Cemetery are great for your low mana creatures and late game expensive creatures. Tragic Slip isn't a very good card for multiplayer commander, unless you are using something like Isochron Scepter

I think your deck is a little heavy on creature token generators, especially your creatures. I know they are there to build up tokens on Meren and to generate mana, in the early game, but they aren't doing much in the mid to late game. Maybe replace a few with some faster reanimator spells like: Living Death, Lifeline (a personal favorite), Necromancy, Animate Dead, Victimize, Rescue from the Underworld, Beacon of Unrest, etc.

Other cards I would consider cutting: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave (too slow imo unless he is your commander), Blisterpod (needs to die to get the token), Pawn of Ulamog, Vorapede, Village Rites, Gray Merchant of Asphodel (starts to shine with lots of reanimator stuff), Woe Strider, Scion Summoner, Brood Monitor, Deathreap Ritual, Commander's Sphere

It's tough to suggest cards for a budget deck. A card that I might consider to be absolutely necessary could require cheaper options in other parts of the deck to make it fit.

Maybe try Eldrazi cards with annihilator to force opponents to sacrifice permanents? Artisan of Kozilek, Eldrazi Conscription, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (Banned in commander), Hand of Emrakul (Requires Eldzari spawn), It That Betrays (highly recommended for this deck by me), Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Pathrazer of Ulamog, Spawnsire of Ulamog(20 mana ability does not function in commander), Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, and Ulamog's Crusher are all the cards that have or give Annihilator

SueMe: Oh, Dur! I'm so dumb. XD You're right that changelings are actually Gods and Demigods, too. I was focusing on the legendary part too much, my bad. I'll add it. And Hand of Emrakul is a good one, I haven't searched up Eldrazi yet. Thanks two times. =)

Okay. I just figured since it follows the guidelines you listed in the description (namely the changeling part), it would fit, but I totally understand that the God/Demigod thing is rather obscure.

By the way, another favorite of mine is Hand of Emrakul.

There's definitely some cool stuff going on in this deck, especially with cards like Deceiver of Form . I feel, as is the problem with using mainly Eldrazi cards, that it seems fairly clunky and hard to get rolling. I find cards that generate Eldrazi Spawn tokens, as opposed to Eldrazi Scion tokens work better. If you check out my Eldrazi pauper deck Eldrazi Pauper, I can bring out a Hand of Emrakul as early as turn 3.
