I am building a deck made to play Dubious Challenge to get a big creature and something like Flickerwisp I know the best creature to cheat out is emrakul but it is to expensive so I don't want to buy more than one, what creature should I put in the deck to cheat out?
If you play dubious challenge, I highly recommend using Homeward Path and Brooding Saurian to get your creatures back.
Worldspine Wurm seems like a good call, also Progenitus
Happy brewing

The deck is mono green but I don't care about the color of the creatures because I will never hardcast them

Autochthon Wurm is about the most budget big creature I can think of. most creatures that are massive generally are above $8. if you wanna be around 10-20 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Avacyn, Angel of Hope are never bad options

Isn't Griselbrand relatively cheap now? Also, any of the Legendary Praetors, any of the fat Eldrazi, Dragonlord Atarka maybe?

If you want to cheat out stuff.. why not build Tooth and Nail deck then get Arbor Elf and some Utopia Sprawl
February 26, 2018 6:14 p.m.
Worldspine Wurm, Darksteel Colossus, Emrakul, the Promised End, Progenitus, Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Zacama, Primal Calamity, Hellkite Overlord.

Emrakul is really so much better than anything else. If you're using Homeward Path and Brooding Saurian, then Progenitus is probably your second best option. If you're using Flickerwisp, then some good options are Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur and Kederekt Leviathan

Grozoth would also be fun either tutoring up more grozoths or something else big

Sundering Titan is by far the best and cheapest and is now getting a reprint in Masters 25.

Sundering Titan is great when it works, but if they have a removal spell, you pretty much lose on the spot

With Dubious Challenge you'd be better off avoiding creatures with EtB (or activated) abilities to not give the opponent any value before you get them back.
So I wouldn't recommend cards like:
Dragonlord Atarka, Griselbrand, Grave Titan and possibly Sundering Titan
(unless the deck is built in a way to break the symmetry of its ability).

Artisan of Kozilek, Pathrazer of Ulamog and Void Winnower are great bombs to drop
