TheBestMagicCard on Emrakul, the Promised End

7 months ago

Ha! I also just remembered that Sojourner's Companion is included. This card is a weird include, but it acts kind of like Traveler's Amulet and Wayfarer's Bauble, in that it gets a land and it can count for {2} towards Emrakrul in the graveyard. As of now, the only cards it can search for are Darksteel Citadel and Treasure Vault, Treasure Vault being the more like useful option, as it can give you extra mana for the next turn - I think of it kind of like a worse Skittering Invasion - and it can also be a land in the graveyard for Emrakrul's cost reduction.

Ultimately, I think this is kind of cool and dorky, but maybe not powerful enough to include. I honestly haven't used it enough to get a good sense of weather it's worth it or not.

But, I also hope and assume that one day, more powerful artifact lands will be printed, and then it might be actually a really cool card... I could def see taking this out for something more useful, but right now I think I still need to see more play with it before I take it out...

I'd recommend cutting: - Hard Evidence - Hordeling Outburst - Stolen by the Fae - Octavia, Living Thesis - Niv-Mizzet, Parun - Izzet Chronarch - Izzet Chemister - Spellburst - Occult Epiphany - Prismatic Lens - Rogue's Passage

I'd recommend: - Mind Stone (This would probably be more flexible than Prismatic Lens) - Lorien Revealed - Mystic Sanctuary - Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance - Skittering Invasion - Underworld Breach - Transcendent Message - Archmage Emeritus - Loyal Apprentice - Baral, Chief of Compliance (Potentially just doing a straight swap of this with Goblin Electromancer} - Storm-Kiln Artist - March of Swirling Mist - Crackle with Power (AWESOME win-con) - Apex of Power - Surge to Victory (This is hilarious) - Rise from the Tides - Mnemonic Deluge - Wayfarer's Bauble

Makes a lot of sense, although do keep in mind some stax might make you a target in a different way. That being said, I agree that it's the right decision. If you're gonna add Cursed Totem, then swap it for Pithing Needle potentially given that they are similar, unless needle is specifically a meta call for a non-creature activated ability. If you're gonna add cursed totem, might as well also add Torpor Orb as you don't have any ETB effects. One potential swap for Torpor Orb is Skittering Invasion given that you want to cut ramp and this seems like your least imapctful piece of ramp.

Also, Deceiver of Form is in because I'm on Spawning Bed and Skittering Invasion . Just a fun combo I enjoy pulling off, suboptimal if you want more power in the deck.

Eye of Ugin is super powerful given the cost reduction and repeatable tutor effect it offers you. Mystic Forge will let you gain some card advantage by casting eldrazi from your topdecks. You've got most of the strong budget eldrazi, but in case you missed it, Pathrazer of Ulamog is another one you can add. All Is Dust is almost completely a one sided boardwipe. It's perfect for your deck. Return of the Wildspeaker can offer you a ton of draw with basically any eldrazi you've got in play. Tempt with Discovery can get you lots of sol lands like Eldrazi Temple, Shrine of the Forsaken Gods, and Eye of Ugin all in one go. With how big your eldrazi are, and also with how many cards you have that use colorless mana, I would suggest efficient mana rocks like Worn Powerstone and Thran Dynamo. They'll accelerate you nicely. Some cards that go nicely with Jodah are Blatant Thievery, Clone Legion, and Sunbird's Invocation. I'm certain they'll do well here, too.

I'll make some suggestions for card you could remove, too. Darksteel Forge doesn't do too much for you since it won't help your eldrazi. Eldrazi Monument is actually a bad card for your deck since you don't have enough cards that makes lots of tokens, you'll end up sacrificing your bigger eldrazi which wouldn't feel very good. Elixir of Immortality really doesn't do anything for your deck. Call the Scions is pretty underwhelming and isn't much of a commander card. Skittering Invasion really doesn't do much compared to other 7 cmc spells you could run. Conflux isn't really capable of tutoring anything all that powerful for you, and Enlightened Tutor really doesn't have any worthwhile targets either. I see you have a bit of an exile and process theme with cards like Ulamog's Nullifier but I would personally change it and just go with as many backbreaking eldrazis and other spells you can. With Jodah as your commander, you can run all kinds of nasty plays.

Skittering Invasion was included at one point, but was found to not do enough often enough. Even just 3 tokens can win a game, but you gotta have Deceiver and Conduit, so more effort was put into finding those.

Skittering Invasion might have a home here...
