Vestige of Emrakul

Saw this deck list requesting help so ill provide some feedback here. First of all love the idea of winning with Eldrazi spawn tokens! I do feel though that you have too many creatures in the deck and could use some more utility spells to smooth out your games and push you towards your goal. I am not sure of your budget so ill try to keep that in mind with my feedback. Some ideas of this would be:

For your lands you look to be missing Command Tower which could easily replace a basic land. Additionally you could look to add the new triome lands Zagoth Triome to help with your colour fixing.

Finally you could look at some finishers like Overwhelming Stampede or Triumph of the Hordes to go with your "go wide" strategy.

Some general things to think about. You look like you need some more card draw and mana ramp (hence some of my suggestions above) but also need some additional removal spells to slow down everyone else while you get your army built.

Hope some of this helps!

Yes, Murkfiend Liege 's abilities apply to Roon despite not mentioning all of Roon's colors. Roon is green, and Roon is blue, so Roon qualifies for the untap ability and both of the +1/+1 abilities (since they are separate, you apply each separately, so creatures that are both blue and green receive both for a total of +2/+2).

The same goes for protection. If an ability says "protection from red," it doesn't matter that the creature is also green. Nikya of the Old Ways is red because it has red in its casting cost, and no color-defining text to change that. Vestige of Emrakul , on the other hand, is colorless because Devoid says so, so it is not red.

The slate is almost ready... I just want to know which is good out of the following, & which is bad, as well as whether or not Pristine Angel + Concerted Effort + Empty-Shrine Kannushi/Pledge of Loyalty is a legitamite combo that works, & can even deal with Multicolor, & Creature Types regardless of Color.

List: *Gisela, the Broken Blade/Bruna, the Fading Light

*Conduit of Storms  Flip

*Extricator of Sin  Flip

*Hanweir Battlements/Hanweir Garrison

*Lone Rider  Flip

*Smoldering Werewolf  Flip

*Vildin-Pack Outcast  Flip

*Barrage Tyrant

*Consuming Sinkhole

*Crumble to Dust

*Eldrazi Aggressor

*Eldrazi Obligator

*Immobilizer Eldrazi

*Kozilek's Return

*Kozilek's Sentinel

*Maw of Kozilek

*Molten Nursery

*Nettle Drone

*Processor Assault

*Reality Hemorrhage

*Serpentine Spike

*Touch of the Void

*Turn Against

*Vestige of Emrakul

*Vile Aggregate

Which of these do you recommend? I'm adding my last adds before shaving off whole KGs off this deck...

*Conduit of Storms  Flip

*Extricator of Sin  Flip

*Lone Rider  Flip

*Smoldering Werewolf  Flip

*Vildin-Pack Outcast  Flip

*Barrage Tyrant

*Consuming Sinkhole

Which do you think would be good for my Boros Deck? Also I omitted Eldrazi Displacer as it is a standard for this deck anyway.

Also, one last question, Since my Kozilek Deck is doing nothing but fail the meter, do you think I should run a 5Color Commander, & if so, what?

TheRedMage on Bloom Tender and colors of …

A small exception to what acbooster was saying: when determining the color of a card, you look at its casting cost, its color indicators (and, to give an example, a color indicator is a colored dot that appears on the typeline, like in Pact of Negation) and/or color-setting characteristic-defining abilities of the card.

At this moment no card exist with a characteristic-defining ability that sets the color to anything but colorless. Examples of this are Ghostfire and cards from the Battle for Zendikar block that have the ability "Devoid", like Vestige of Emrakul.

What I wanted to point out is that if you control only Vestige of Emrakul and Bloom Tender, the latter will still only tap for mana symbol g and not mana symbol gmana symbol r. The color identity of Vestige of Emrakul is mana symbol r, but it has no actual color because of devoid.


Terminology nitpick: you asked if color only matters in the converted mana cost of a card. The converted mana cost of a card (CMC) is just a number, usually equal to the total mana necessary to cast that card (with some additional rules for X spells, split cards and mana symbol 2b mana symbols, but let's not get into those now). For example, the CMC of a card that costs mana symbol 3mana symbol gmana symbol g is 5.

What you are referring to in this scenario is simply called the "mana cost" of the card, as opposed to the CMC.

Dovahskrill on Eldritch Moon, and Emrakul Speculation. …

So, I've been looking around different speculation pages and I wanted to throw my two cents into this situation. In the New Zendikar sets we got Vestige of Emrakul which is red, and we got Eldrazi Displacer that is the only white eldrazi in the entire sets featuring the eldrazi... Nahiri, being mad at Sorin, might want to destroy Sorin's home... and knowing that Emrakul eats planes and Nahiri's obvious knowledge of how to imprision them with Lithomancy.... she is his Harbinger (she's R/W). So, also to further explain this. Angels are a primarily Red/White tribe and they're the one's going mad. On Zendikar the Merfolk worship three Gods that were actually representative of the three Titans. Shrine of the Forsaken Gods. Emeria is portrayed as a woman Angel. Emeria is Emrakul in the Zendikari's eyes. So, Angels are going mad, Nahiri's home plane viewed Emrakul as an Angel god for many many years.... I think I can agree that Emrakul might very well be an Flip-Angel planeswalker (maybe not walker) in this next upcoming set. Nahiri being involved also explains why she may need more power directed to the Drownyard Temple (which also taps for colorless....) by those twisting stones, to bring Emrakul here because she has physically attached to a plane by making herself the embodiment of the God the Zendikar had come to know. As for Lilly in all of this, I have more of a speculative answer for that.... I believe that Emrakul is the Raven Man inside her mind...if people can understand Emrakul's power and the fact that the man has Birdlike features about it despite never actually seeing it's entirety. Thank you for listening people!
