Deck description

Been collecting cards for this bugger forever, but never really assembled a deck! The 'Eldrazi Unbound' triggered my creativity, and I'm finally putting together the pieces.

The problem is that there are so many ways to approach it! I'm not too hot on the Zhulodok, Void Gorger so will go for either Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or Kozilek, the Great Distortion as commander for the draws.

I strongly prefer Kozilek, the Great Distortion for the control, but I could also go Kozilek, Butcher of Truth for Annihilator 4 and the shuffle effect, since I don't have any recursion. Could also do with the other Legendary Eldrazi, if I'm bored.

I considered plenty of silly artefact shenanigan combo decks, but I prefer it raw and simple: Lot's of ramp with high value tricks at the end.

Strategy

1. Mulligan into rocks and lands if needed.
2. Ramp into Kozilek and draw cards (more rocks)
3. Beat opponents to death with Annihilator triggers. If commander dies, it's fine since he gave us more rocks.

Win condition:

Annihilate or beat all opponents to death with big nasty Eldrazi.

Identified combos:

• Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth : Infinite mana
• Basalt Monolith + Forsaken Monument : Infinite mana
• Deserted Temple + Rings of Brighthearth + Scorched Ruins : Infinite mana
• Planar Bridge + Rings of Brighthearth : Double tutor to battlefield
• Abstruse Archaic + Rings of Brighthearth : Double copy of triggered or activated ability, say Annihilator?
• Rings of Brighthearth + Strionic Resonator : Double copy of triggered ability, say Annihilator?
• Rings of Brighthearth can even be used to amplify sad draw effects on rocks or lands.
• Strionic Resonator or Abstruse Archaic : Double joy on those sweet sweet Annihilator triggers
• Unwinding Clock + Vedalken Orrery or Skittering Cicada + Unwinding Clock : Let's do all the crazy stuff in our opponents turns. Like use Darksteel Monolith or Planar Bridge
• Endbringer + Unwinding Clock : That's a fair amount of cards to draw and play in our opponents turn.
• Doubling Cube really shines in a deck like this! Quickly becomes a valid target for Mirage Mirror
• Mirage Mirror can do wonders. Let's do double Darksteel Monolith or maybe just an extra Eldrazi for a turn?
• All is Dust + It That Betrays give me all your stuff! Now!

Notable omissions

• So many cards in the maybe board

Known weaknesses - Very light on card advantage, but somehow mitigated with either of the Kozileks as commanders
