Eldrazi are running rampant right now in Modern so them coming into Legacy isn't much of a surprise. Before attempting to try Eldrazi out I've read from plenty of naysayers that don't think it's the real deal. "Oh, it won't do well because of Wasteland." Or, "There's better things to be doing with all that fast mana." Something along the lines of, "It's just a flash in the pan. Eldrazi will disappear from Legacy. Just give it a couple weeks." But here's the crux, the deck is actually good in Legacy, and I don't think it'll be just another fad.

For those saying it can't handle a format with Wasteland, simple arithmetic proves them wrong. This deck is playing 16 sol lands while opponents have only four Wastelands. Darn near every land I draw will essentially tap for two mana. I really don't see the argument here. Why should I be frightened of a Wasteland any more than, say, Stoneblade, Shardless BUG, or MUD players?

The creatures in this deck are pretty insane, too. Don't be fooled, Eldrazi Mimic is not a 2/1. It is usually a 4/4 or a 5/5. And Thought-Knot Seer is just a better Tidehollow Sculler. It exiles the chosen card so there's no fear of opponents flashing back that Swords to Plowshares with a Snapcaster Mage. Also, Thought-Knot comes packing a punch, swinging for four damage a turn.

Reality Smasher is a tramplin' hasty 5/5 that can also protect itself, and Endbringer is chock full of so much value. Draw a card? Don't mind if I do! Ping that Young Pyromancer or Stoneforge Mystic? Sure, why not? Endbringer is also a pseudo Fog and a Rogue's Passage on legs.

The main goal is to play lands that tap for two mana (otherwise known as "sol lands" after Sol Ring) or essentially tap for two mana (Eye of Ugin) and swarm the board with Eldrazi. It's a stompy deck. We're not doing anything fancy here, just good old fashion beat 'em up. What makes Colorless Eldrazi competitive is not only how it can cheaply cast fatties, but also how it attacks the metagame with Chalice of the Void, Trinisphere, Cavern of Souls, and even Lodestone Golem. Going into the League with this deck I didn't fear Storm combo at all. Not one bit. 13 hate cards plus two Thorn of Amethyst to bring in post sideboard; also the Ratchet Bombs in case our opponent gets tricky on us with Empty the Warrens. It's safe to say ANT is pretty much a bye for us.

One card in particular I've been impressed with so far is Warping Wail. It is our crucial counter against hard-to-beat spells, such as Show and Tell, Tendrils of Agony, Terminus, Reanimate, Natural Order, and Ancestral Vision, just to name a few.

I didn't think much about Warping Wail being a removal spell other than for the usual Deathrite Shaman or Delver of Secrets, but once you begin thinking about all the other creatures in Legacy that it can target, you'll realize just how great it can be. It can hit Vendilion Clique, Stoneforge Mystic, Young Pyromancer, Metalworker, Baleful Strix. One important thing to realize is that Warping Wail exiles the creature so against Nic-Fit you won't have to worry about Veteran Explorer quite so much.

Mistakes were made. I think my biggest blunder was not knowing exactly how to sideboard, especially in Round 5. I now see I should have taken out the Lodestone Golems instead of Thought-Knot Seer. I don't know, for some reason I had my mind made up on Elves players not keeping a lot of cards in their hand. But that's not true. Natural Order was my biggest threat and Thought-Knot Seer would've been much better to have in hand than Lodestone Golem. Also not knowing what to name with Phyrexian Revoker is bad. It can be a real hoser but only if you know your opponents' decks and what they are doing. Elves is a deck I don't play against too much.

I definitely under estimated Warping Wail and I should have utilized the entire playset. Adding two more to the deck is something I'm going to do, probably replacing the two Mox Diamond for them. I don't like the Diamonds at all and I think they are unnecessary. You see, I built this deck when there was just one list on mtggoldfish.com. This is based off a list by Tenjum, who had gone 3-1 in a Daily. This is not his exact list, though. I took some liberties with a few card choices, namely concerning the sideboard. For instance, I saw this deck folding to Dredge so I added a couple Tormod's Crypt. Also trimmed down on Cavern of Souls and added Mishra's Factory.

I like Colorless Eldrazi and I know this archetype has some serious potential. Some things I wouldn't mind changing is getting rid of the Mox Diamonds for two more Warping Wail and also tossing the Lodestone Golems out altogether. I feel adding more Eldrazi in their place would be better suited since it's more difficult to cast the Golems off Eldrazi Temple and not to mention Eye of Ugin does nothing for them. A good replacement for the Golems would be Matter Reshaper and I think that's what I'm going to do.

I've seen some lists running Phyrexian Revoker in the main and I see that being a good idea. However, I do like Tenjum's choice in Ashen Rider against Sneak and Show, though I wouldn't mind seeing more hate against graveyard shenanigans. The Leagues have brought a ton of people into Legacy, which is awesome, but it also means new players (or at least new players to mtgo) will be playing with cheaper decks. Dredge is one of the more affordable decks in Legacy and I anticipate seeing that archetype a lot in the coming months. Adding Revokers into the main opens up two slots in the sideboard for more Tormod's Crypts. I hate losing to Dredge so I want to be well prepared for that match up.

Heading into the future, I'm thinking this will be the new (and hopefully improved) list I would not mind jumping into another League with.

Colorless Eldrazi is an expensive deck because a lot of these cards are Standard playable and we're in the Eldrazi Winter. These cards are hot right now. Everyone wants them, but if you already own the Modern equivalent to this deck then I say come on down to Legacy. The card pool's deep, the decks are powerful, and competition's wild. And hey, you won't have to worry about your deck being banned any time soon! Well, that's all I have for you this week. I hope you enjoyed it and I'll talk to ya next time.
