Loowiz on Phyrexian Nightmare

6 months ago

I just did some simulations on your idea. I'd need 3 cards for that turn-1 combo: Dark Ritual, Phyrexian Dreadnought and Illusionary Mask or Eldrazi Mimic. After doing a quick math, I calculated the probability of getting the combo: 5.44% at 0 mulligans 8.21% at 1 mulligan 9.34% at 2 mulligans 9.63% at 3 mulligans If I really wanted to go that route, I'd replace 4 Island with 4 Darkslick Shores. That would make the numbers go: 6.33% 0 mulligans 9.72% 1 mulligan 11.13% 2 mulligans 11.49% 3 mulligans And that's not a win the game combo, it can still be completely destroyed by a single well-timed removal spell. I think it's safer to guarantee a turn 3-4 Phyrexian Dreadnought (plus a couple of creatures that become a copy of it), than to risk it all on an explosive turn.

Thanks for the feedback and the idea, DreadKhan! I considered including Dark Ritual, since both Illusionary Mask and Eldrazi Mimic can enable a turn-1 Phyrexian Dreadnought. That would make the deck more prone to aggressive mulligans, but it’s a double-edged sword. The only reason the deck runs black is to cast Lazav, the Multifarious and, situationally, Unearth (to be honest, the deck is mostly mono-blue at this point). I think it’s a very valid strategy—perhaps cutting Standstill, Unearth, and two Trickbind for a set of Dark Ritual? Tezzeret also loses some value if we’re aiming for an explosive start, though if Phyrexian Dreadnought isn’t found after mulligans, the game is essentially lost.

Eldrazi Mimic

Just some quick notes!

Draw power: Mystery Key, Mask of Memory

Flyers/unblck.: Smuggler's Copter, Zephyr Boots

Support/Ramp: Aether Spellbomb, Prophetic Prism, Forsaken Monument, Horn of Greed, Howling Mine

I'd also comment that Distortion Strike, when well placed could really sink a game for one, if not two players.

If you haven't considered Eldrazi Mimic, that'd be a really nasty card to pair up with your line up.

For retrieval, Scrap Trawler could really do you a favor if artifact retrieval is important for you.

12-Post has been a favorite concept of mine for awhile and I always see mono green Tron as my rival. I think Blue-Post is a pretty cool concept!

If you wanted to use things like Tinker and Show and Tell, things could really get zaney in your group setting.

Hope the feedback helps!

DawnsRayofLight on Eldrazi Tribal/Tron (Help is Appreciated)

@lalalalala: it is definitely getting there. I am going to make some suggestions:

I know this is going to be like "wow now I am running the same Tron as everyone else" but Karn has always been one of my favorite planeswalkers and he is ideal in a list like this

I might run

3x Karn, the Great Creator

2x Karn Liberated

1-2 Ugin, the Ineffable

1-2 All Is Dust

3-4x Golgari Signet or Talisman of Impulse

1x Blast Zone

1x Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth

(for the lands maybe drop a crossroad or two? test the deck and if you feel you are not getting lands consistently enough run 22 or 21, a lot of the TRON lists similar to yours run only 17)

Cards to Drop:

Eldrazi Mimic: It is nice to have a 2 drop but he isn't that strong, if you want an early drop you can run Walking Ballista or Matter Reshaper

Conduit of Ruin: You can maybe be fine with 2 but 4 isn't necessary, I am honestly not a fan but it does at least fetch your big boys, but you may have enough dig with the Ancient Stirrings to drop it altogether. Wurmcoil Engine may be a better 6 drop

Titan's Presence: you may have enough creature removal with Kozilek's Return and Warping Wail. It also gives your opponents information about what you may have in hand. You could drop them to run other cards.

Set up your sideboard like this (for use with Karn)

3x Chalice of the Void: Seriously a good card, I was onto this long before it started getting put in Tron, maybe consider a 1 of in the main to, but basically it allows you to halt a lot of annoying decks in their tracks: affinity, infect, storm, they die to this card. I sided it in one game against an affinity player: played 1 for 0 then the next turn dropped another at 1 and he scooped.

1x Ensnaring Bridge

1x Crucible of Worlds

1x Relic of Progenitus

1x Grafdigger's Cage

1x Pithing Needle

1x Torpor Orb

1x Wurmcoil Engine

1x Ratchet Bomb

1x Trinisphere

1x Blightsteel Colossus: Martyr of sands is making a comeback

2x Wilt: just to counter Blood Moon

Maybeboard for the side

1x Oblivion Stone

Hope this helps!

lalalalala on blue black eldrazi deck ( need help )

5 years ago

I have made an eldrazi deck if you want to check that out but if you don't feel like checking it out here are some tips. Eldrazi Mimic is a really good card in eldrazi decks and I run 4 of it in mine. Conduit of Ruin is also a really good card for finding your big eldrazi and gives you some mana reduction but don't run 4 in your deck, I would only run 2-3. Idk how you feel about taking out black from the deck but I did in my deck and it has worked out. I would change black to green and put in 4 Blisterpod and 3-4 Call the Scions or maybe 1-2 From Beyond Those are all cheapish cards for your deck. If you are okay with spending a lot of money I would get Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger or Kozilek, the Great Distortion or Reality Smasher And finally I would take out Eldrazi Skyspawner and Cultivator Drone if you are fine with taking cards out.

I've had a bit of success with an Eldrazi Mimic in my current brew for Traxos, which unlike yours, trends towards "Traxos and his Big Stompy Friends". You might find him useful as a '1 turn Traxos' if you cast him, then the big guy on the next turn.
