I actually think that the best Eldrazi to be playing in Standard right now is Skyspawner. I don't understand playing company without 4x of that card. Hell, I'm happy sleeving up 4 of that card in Modern.

The switch to "exile" from "remove from game" clears a lot of that baggage up in other cards, but it surprisingly remains here. Explicitly referring to the sideboard in card text is probably a big no-no.

Ulrich is cool and good. Eldrazi Wish is cool and good. Emrakul is cool and good. Let us please remember that cards do not have to be overly powerful to fill up a Mythic slot. They just need to be fun to cast. Ulrich is going to be on every Werewolf EDH player's buylist, and I'mrakul is really neat and interesting. There is nothing stopping you from not buying a box of the set if it's low power. I, however, want to jam New'makrul into a modern Tron deck because it dodges most of the modern relevant removal. Edit: Like if you don't think slamming down this big scary Eldritch monster that promises the end of days to the point where you literally take control of the game by casting her, do the thing that completely puts your opponent out of the game, and then let your opponent draw their last pathetic card before you utter annihilate them isn't cool as poo poo then I don't know, you probably aren't versed in comic book villain.

I'm a filthy poor so I would skin a Karn off to put in Emrakul but there's probably a better cut. The real question is can you dump enough things into the yard to bring Emrakul out on turn 4? With natural tron? Probably not. Or you know play it in Blue Tron because that actually dumps a bunch of poo poo into the yard a lot, actually win with something that isn't a mindslaver lock that can't get pathed.

I think the most disappointing thing about New'mrakul is that it can be countered, leaving you without a 13/13 for the opponent to get wrecked by. However if they have more than one counter in hand when you cast it they will already be pretty hosed since you can make then cast and counter their own spells. Anyway I'm looking forward to having a last couple of new good Eldrazi cards to jam into my Eldrazi deck.

Hey guys quick rules question regarding trigger priority at end of combat. If I attack into a 1/1 Hangerback Walker with my Shambling Goblin, both creature dies, both their death triggers go on the stack at the end of combat, which one would go on the stack first assuming I'm the active player, like do I get to pick which one goes on the stack first because I have priority or does mine go on the stack first always? I want to kill his 1/1 thopter token with the death trigger of the goblin.

In the specific case of shambling goblin, however, you wouldn't be able to kill the thopter token either way, because it's not in play when the goblin's ability gets put on the stack so it can't target the thopter.

So Drake combo has indeed broken Pauper. I like Mono-Blue Flicker Combo, because it's fast and consistent and Gigadrowse is a messed up Fog/Mana Short split card, but for people who like 2-for-1s, I rebuilt The Best Ghostly Flicker Deck: So, the combo of Drake + Wall + Flicker still makes a buncha mana, which you can use to then Flicker Wall + Oracle/Mulldrifter and draw your deck, and play all your creatures. If that won't succeed, you can also Flicker Chittering Rats + Wall repeatedly to put your opponent's hand on top of their library, and then during their draw step, Flicker Rats+Wall to permanently lock them. But, as I found out against Burn, what if you're playing against a deck with a lot of instants? Well, make a lot of mana Flickering Wall + Drake, then Flicker Wall + Dismal Backwater to pay 3 mana to gain 1 life! You're gaining infinite life! If you have infinite time, because it takes like 10 seconds to do one Wall + Drake loop since stupid Mnemonic Wall is a May effect, unlike my bro Archaeomancer. This deck also is significantly more likely to go to time because it can't just get a Sage's Row and loop 10 times to mill the opponent out. The deck is absurd, as all Ghostly Flicker decks are. Why play this version? It's significantly more apt to defend itself against other decks that get a good draw and have a turn 4 kill, or are on the play and have a turn 5 kill. The Mono-Blue version will usually combo out turn 5, but if it doesn't have a Gigadrowse it can't stop some good aggressive draws, and sometimes Affinity or Stompy just kill you turn 4. This version just plays a bunch of Rats to reduce the opponent's resources, the same sweet blue 2-for-1 creatures, and even some Snuff Outs to delay enemy Flicker combos or kill an Atog or a 4/4 or something about to get Rancored or whatever. You ever have an opponent go Forest into Nettle Sentinel, you play a Swamp and a Ravenous Rats, and then they try to Rancor their Sentinel and you blow them out with the Snuff Out? It feels good. Sometimes you just play Rats and Oracles and then Flicker them and are up six cards on your opponents and they can't ever come back. Probably gonna try out the UG version next. I saw Paul Cheon play against it with UB Teachings, and the deck seemed like it just petered out since it is full of Wild Growths and Utopia Sprawls. Gigadrowse is a messed up magic card though, and I would love to be able to win before turn 5.

 I am expecting this to be a grixis rare... Maybe doubles all damage dealt, and forces all spells to target it? Maybe some kind of defense like indestructible or self-recursion to make up for said inverse hexproof? Red for Gisela, Blue for Bruna, Black because Black is the opposite of white, especially on Innistrad.
