Eldrazi Tribal EDH

Commander / EDH*

Oolacile


Up to now, we only have access to three colorless legendary Eldrazi: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre. The three are good, but in my opinion, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger stands as the best commander.

First of all, he is the only one to open a new strategy: mill. And he does it pretty well. This is essential, because there are not enough Eldrazi tribal cards yet to be able to build an entire deck with only Eldrazi cards. The two other Eldrazi are good, but they do not open another strategy. I also much more prefer to keep them in the mainboard as mill protection.

Secondly, he is tied for the cheapest (CMC wise) and most resistant (indestructible). I think that he outruns Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre because he is superior also in removal (exiles two permanents instead of destroying one), and he outruns Kozilek, Butcher of Truth because removal and indestructibility are much more valuable for a commander than one time card draw, in my opinion.

Last, but not least, he does not have anihilator. Many of you may say it's a downside, but in multiplayer it is easier to pass under the radar of hate...

Duel Commander

I know that Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is not legal in regular EDH, but he his in Duel Commander. That is why I decided to show him up as the commander. The only non-Duel Commander legal card in the deck is Sol Ring, so the idea is to switch between those cards depending if you are playing regular EDH or Duel Commander.

      **Planeswalkers**

Presently there are only two colorless planeswalkers: Karn Liberated and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. Both are really good in EDH, better than the average planeswalker, and there are many reasons why they are included in this deck, apart from being the only two colorless planeswalkers.

First of all, those two planeswalkers are really good by themselves. Even if they have a high CMC, they are both able to protect themselves with their abilities, and thay are the two planeswalkers in the entire game that have the most chances to achieve their ultimate. And both are game winning ultimates.

Secondly, there is not that much good colorless removal, but those two are removal. Karn Liberated is more spot removal, and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is more of a boardwipe. What is the best is that they exile, so they both deal with all the creatures. What is even better with Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, is that it is only for colored permanents, so nothing on my side will be exiled. Also, you just have to do -0 to exile all the tokens onto the battlefield, which is a nice trick.
