Using Cryptic Gateway to cheat out the big Eldrazi on the opponent's End Step

Back in the ROE era a guy in the play group ran a aggressive green ramp ROE deck. That's all he played, I had decks that could beat it. I decided to build in response to his deck a cheaty Eldrazi deck. The deck relies on Cryptic Gateway and Eldrazi Tokens to cheat out all the big Eldrazi's on your opponent's End Step.

I own this deck in real life and have for many years. It doesn't get to see much play these days.

Potential Turn 5

T1 Forest T2 Mountain, Nest Invader (1 Eldrazi Token) T3 Land, Brood Birthing (3 Eldrazi Tokens-Total 4) T4 land, Cryptic Gateway (3 total Eldrazi Tokens) Opponents T4 or T5 tap 2 tokens and lay down an Eldrazi

Of course you will want to cast some of the Eldrazi creatures, Cryptic Gateway doesn't allow you to cast.

Feel free to comment.
