This is a very top-heavy Eldrazi ramp deck. It's just for fun, as I've been trying to build my own Eldrazi deck since I started playing a few years back. The idea here is to get a couple of Sylvan Caryatid out as an early blocker with hexproof staying power, as well as helping to get your ramp kickstarted. Buy time to build your mana base with Haze of Pollen and Feed the Clan. Call the Scions and From Beyond give you some early meatshields and banked mana, as well as bulking up your Vile Aggregate s, recovering your Deathless Behemoth , and applying some pressure early with Swarm Surge.

One of my favorite combos is Desolation Twin + Morgue Burst . You can send the non-token Twin to its death and Morgue Burst it back into your hand, dealing some pretty substantial damage before re-casting for yet another 10/10 token. Once your non-token Twin is dead again, you can use it to fuel Dread Defiler 's activated ability and stack another ten damage on. Essence Harvest ensures that even if your big guys get hit with Pacify or the like, you can still use them to deal damage and bring yourself back from the brink.

You may be asking, "Hey, why don't you have any mountains in here?" Well, with all of the mana-of-any-color generators in the deck, I feel like it's best to not dilute the mana pool too much, considering the colorless mana generators this deck uses to get the big boys out and the need to draw Forests for ramping. In a pinch, Champion of Rhonas can be exerted to bring out an Aggregate or any of your other creatures with mana costs you can't pay. It's good to have options.

Note that if you get hit by an Aligned Hedron Network you're pretty much screwed. Any suggestions for side or main board replacements to deal with this deck's weaknesses are welcome, but keep in mind this deck is mostly made from what I have available to me. For example, I'd love to put a couple of Void Winnowers or Birds of Paradise in here, but I'd like to wait until the price goes down.
