Bad Moon on the Rise [EMN Eldrazis <3 Liliana]

Standard* Eldrazi Midrange Mono-Black

Who really knows what side Liliana is on? ;)

A monoblack Eldrazi deck working with the new Matter Reshaper + Distended Mindbender t4 stronghouse play, but also the regular good cards of Reality Smasher and Thought-Knot Seer , and new Liliana. (She is good. You'll all see.)

Main gameplan is hand disruption out the butt while playing some very efficient creatures. Matter Reshaper can hit both Lilianas, lands, or Hedron Crawler, which is fun.

Duress is a great t1 play-- since we don't have anything else to do-- that works like a Gitaxian Probe with the chance to take a planeswalker or removal spell. I think people underestimate the power of playing this t1 if you have no creature to drop or Oath of Nissa to play.

Warping Wail, what doesn't this card do? We all know the fun sorceries it blanks-- Ruinous Path, Languish, Declaration in Stone, any hand disruption-- but the amount of creatures it randomly hits is so fun. And fun note: with new Liliana +1, you can hit creatures up to 3 power or 2 toughness with this beauty. ;)

Liliana, Heretical Healer   works great with the Emerge cost, but also just incidental creature deaths.

Liliana, the Last Hope recurs our incredibly good creatures, including the hard-to-kill Reality Smasher and our all-star Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. Her +1 helps the trample from Reality Smasher and gets rid of small threats. Her ult is just very strong on its own.

Swapped 2 Sea Gate Wreckage for two Sanctum of Ugin after seeing how powerful it is with the Eldrazi in U/R Emerge. Doesn't hurt our mana (obviously) and helps a ton lategame by searching up a Reality Smasher when we need it.

For the time being, took out Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip for +1 Distended Mindbender and +1 Ob Nixilis Reignited. She was a bit underwhelming at 3 mana--usually had better stuff to do--and Nixilis provides more card draw and inevitability. Putting back in the 3rd Mindbender so I have a better chance of a t4 play (off of Matter Reshaper or Hedron Crawler), and so I have more targets for Sanctum of Ugin.

Liliana #2 is also just expensive and about to rotate... so.
