Hiya Jeremy! This deck looks very exciting!

In terms of recommendations, I would have more creatures/permanents to play early game. Since you don't seem to have any creature removal spells, you want to have a board presence early on!

4 Overgrown Battlements is good. I would try running 4 Nest Invaders too, and see how you like it. Also, have you considered Kozilek's Predator instead of Emrakul's Hatcher? A lower mana curve, other than your big eldrazis, is desirable. You don't want to be beaten before you can bring out the big guns!

Remember these are just suggestions, it's entirely your call! Have fun, and good luck sir!

Yo!

More suggestions for ya!

Like Ed said, your early game seems kinda slow so maybe consider stuff like Growth Spasm or Spawning Breath which allow you to develop your own/control your opponent's boardstate. (Multitasking!)

Also, just as a cheaper alternative to Natural End that you might wanna keep in mind, consider Naturalize. You lose that gain 3 life effect but its 1 mana less to cast.

And, for more cheating, consider Summoning Trap haha.

Personally, I'd take a full set (4x) of Not of This World and completely scrap Vines of Vastwood since 6 protection spells seems like a bit overkill. If you're that worried about protection though, maybe it'd be simpler to look at Asceticism as a means of protection, though it'd mean a higher mana curve overall.

And as Ed said (I'll just copy his wording cuz I'm lazy lol): Remember these are just suggestions, it's entirely your call! Have fun, and good luck sir!

edhan57 and An_A,

Thanks for the suggestions! I replaced Emrakul's Hatcher with Kozilek's Predator, swapping out Rapacious One. I also added 4 Summoning Trap and removed Natural End and Skittering Invasion (I think Skittering Invasion is too high mana cost for its effect). I added one more Quicksilver Amulet and 4 Not of This World and the It That Betrays for the funsies!

Awesome! I would playtest a good amount before you make any purchases. Focus for things like finding yourself in situations where you have too many/few big creatures, if the big creatures are too high/low mana that you can't play them, not enough small creatures, too many/few lands, etc. Remember, without removal you're going to have to be pretty fast!

Also you can rework your land count: I think 24 in total is good, and you only need 4 or so mountains, I'd say, since Brood Birthing is your only red card now.

4 Summoning Trap is a lot, but if you want to stick to it, I would add more big eldrazi bad boys (you currently have 6). If not, then I would add more creatures or some type of removal.

I don't know how sold you are on It That Betrays, it's very expensive for what it does, but if you really want to than go for it!

edhan57, how is All Is Dust for removal? Is it worth the cost?

All Is Dust is quite expensive, both mana and money wise.

It depends if it has a place in your deck though. You should playtest (button in top left region) and see on average, in how many turns you can drop a big eldrazi creature. You should aim to have it by turn 5-6, via hardcasting or Amulet/Trap.

If you find yourself in scenarios where you don't have enough big guys, which is plausible since you only have 6 right now, I would suggest adding two more big eldrazi dudes in replace of the two All Is Dusts.

Having around 2 boardwipes in a deck is usually a good idea, but you need to prioritize your threatening presence first. You've got to be on the offensive, while boardwipes are more defensive. Play around!

DuskMoonPenguin, I'm just curious. How much is your budget for this deck? Because as of now, the price is looking to be upwards of $100.

An_A, $80-90. The checkout price listed here is inaccurate. Last I checked for optimizing TCG player cart it was around $68.
