IlLupo643 on What if WotC Skipped the …

If we skipped the battle I wouldn't have to fight against them...

Personally id have been fiiiine with it. Nothing jams mu day more then a surprise Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre.

Though, I am team Dragonlords. I too was upset to see it skipped over, giving the Dragonlords a single printing in almost all respects.

The Dragonlords were driven i to the storms like Sarkhan. And Sarkhan is not dead. No body, no death. So i still have hope.

Icbrgr on Psychic Frog and Emrakul

If I have Psychic Frog in play and i decide to use Burning Inquiry/Goblin Lore and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is one of the random cards discarded; could I in response to Emrakul going into the graveyard activate the Frogs ability to exile 3 cards to prevent shuffling my graveyard into my library?

Claim the Firstborn is the funniest card XD

Forbidden Friendship is pretty funny too.

The bait and switch with tricking the opponent into thinking you're playing a regular token strat and then pulling Emrakul, the Aeons Torn into play for free is really hilarious though, the icing on the cake. Awesome sauce.

Femme_Fatale, that I am unsure of. I did some random cherry-picking and looked up some other cards on the banlist and they all seemed to be banned on the website - looks like it's just Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is showing up as being legal in Commander / EDH on TappedOut, and is showing up as legal in decklists in the format.

At least formally, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is not legal for EDH, so it's a strange decision. I would prefer Ulamog, the Defiler, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, or Zhulodok, Void Gorger as the commander, given legality issues.

Some other small thoughts:

• Field of the Dead (you can support it), Snow-Covered Wastes, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Strip Mine, and Geier Reach Sanitarium are all possibly handy lands.
• Memory Jar, Solemn Simulacrum, Ratchet Bomb, and Everflowing Chalice are possibly handy artifacts. Depending on the playgroup you're in, either Vexing Bauble, Chalice of the Void, and Cursed Totem could also help.

wallisface on Help improve my deck pls

Two things that might help people better evaluate this:

1) what format is this for? I assume Modern??

2) make this as a deck on the site and put the link to it here. It’s a bit hard reading the list as a wall-of-text.

Just from looking at what’s there at the moment, a bunch of cards don’t seem very good/helpful - namely Nylea's Disciple (doesn’t advance your boardstate therefore doesn’t do anything), Nissa, Genesis Mage (and excessively high mana cost and basically only provides even more mana), Gelatinous Genesis (there’s just better things to be doing than this).

I’m worried you’re investing a lot of energy to maybe be cheating out some kindof-ok (but a bit meh) creatures, when you could instead just be Tooth and Nailing out an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and Xenagos, God of Revels to win the game on the spot.

Some thoughts:

• traditionally Eldrazi Tron has always needed the full playset of Chalice of the Void in order to remain competitive and ensuring they can reliably do something obnoxious early.

• ditch Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, they’re both too clumsy for eldrazi tron builds - which has no reliable way to assemble tron.

• Forsaken Monument is better run as a single copy in your sideboard than a mainboard card - the card just doesn’t do enough to be mainboard material.

• you really want to be running 23-24 lands.

• i have no idea why Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is in your sideboard… unless Mill consumes a massive percentage of your meta??

• Elixir of Immortality and Lightning Greaves feel like very weak sideboard cards. I’m surprised your sideboard doesn’t have stuff like Liquimetal Coating, Ensnaring Bridge, Wurmcoil Engine, Cityscape Leveler and Sundering Titan
