Neyith & Eldrazi
Commander (EDH) forum

Hey all.
I'm thinking of making a deck with Neyith of the Dire Hunt at the helm but featuring mostly eldrazi. I was wondering how best to ramp into eldrazi or possibly cheat them out in gruul. Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas are welcome!
Thanks

Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet are ways to cheat them in from hand.

The only problem with the mentioned cards above is they are just straight onto the battlefield rather than cast. almost all eldrazi are cast procs rather than ETB ones so if you are ok with losing their casting abilities by all means the above will do just nicely! otherwise I would just focus on a hard ramp early game with mana doublers and land tutors. also things like Eye of Ugin ,Eldrazi Temple ,Conduit of Ruin ,Urza's Incubator to make them cost less. use lands like Temple of the False God ,Shrine of the Forsaken Gods ,Guildless Commons ,Ancient Tomb in combonation with a Forsaken Monument to add value to any you tap! From Beyond can produce you some scions for mana and blockers early and also a nice eldrazi tutor when needed after ramp is done. Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma will make them cost less AND give them +1/+1 trample!

DoomNoodle great point! I see both cast and ETB for Eldrazi, mostly depending on if they have Emerge. But your suggestions are great so thank you for your comment!!
(I legit do not know if I'm going to include the main 3 as they are all priceyyyyyy...)

I feel you there. Ive just always had a soft spot for these colorless beauties so over the years I've acquired more slowly but its the ramp thatll matter most for you from my eldrazi experience all your Cultivates and Explosive Vegetations will work wonders to get you to a good point turn 5 Kozilek's Channeler also will ramp you and its eldrazi so win win!

ya, DoomNoodle is totally right
i always get excited about cheating out fatties, but the best eldrazi have to be casted
since your building this in gruul you have access to massive ramp
i would suggest running a search on gruul land matters decks like Omnath, Locus of Rage, Radha, Heart of Keld, & Mina and Denn, Wildborn for insperation
