Eldrazi Zombie Golems

This deck intends to grind value by discarding into grave any of Geralf's creations, (i.e. Stitchwing Skaab and friends)and using their activated ability to cheat them out for much cheaper than normal, discarding even more into the grave.

Synergy

To take advantage of all this discarding and reanimating, we have some passive effects like Hollow One , becoming a 1 Mana 4/4 whenever we discard to a stitchwing activation (or free if you activated Insolent Neonate on the same turn!). Speaking of which, discarding Prized Amalgam using one of these effects causes a free 3/3 to enter tapped on the next end step. We run so many ways to get Amalgam into the grave that we don't even need the black Mana to hard cast him at all. Be sure to be using all your effects on your opponent's main phase, or you won't get the amalgam until much later.

Octopus Time

Elder Deep-Fiend is the star of this deck, with it's explosive ability to tap down the opponent's board at instant speed. When we have any of the Stitchwings online, we can use the octopus's Emerge to get this ability for as low as 2 Mana!!! Additionally, if you control a Sanctum of Ugin , you can repeat this effect for multiple turns, and smash into a tapped out board several times with our Octo/golem/zombie army.
