I run a mono white deck that has a 8/8 Eldrazi with a mana cost of 8 and sacs 2 or 3 I forget which one

Okay two questions:
A) what kind of mono white deck?
B) why the hell aren't you running the good ones?!?

I agree about kamigawa. I just like playing with ninjas right now. Haha but everyone is right. It is too standalone.

I really wouldn't run Eldrazi without ramps or some way to bypass cost. Otherwise, you'll have a dead weight in your hand till turn 8 at the earliest.
I loves me my elfdrazi deck :)

One in a deck for sng as a surprise is fun.
Nothing like playing a deck your opponent knows and surprising them with one.

in my opinion the Eldrazi weren't powerful enough for their cost

{Emrakul the Aeons Torn}?  Ramp him out and your opponent generally just scoops.

I kill my friend with my eldrazi deck without the big three. I don't own any of them. So I rely on {hand of emrakul}, {artisan of koziks} and {it that betrays}. Those three are insane by themselves.

I never really liked Hand of Emrakul, but Artisan and ITB are crazy

Being the spike that I am, I never resent Eldazi players, until they explain how awesome The Eldrazi are. Eldrazi are cool for Timmy and Jimmy, just leave me alone with how amazing they are. They're not reanimator targets, theyre not {Progenitus}, they're not viable IMO.

My legacy elf deck can get him out t3-4 consistently

Dudecore - I'm not gonna say the Eldrazi are the best out there, but I just favor them, personally.  And you're right, they are definitely not good reanimator targets or anyting like that.  ITB is the only really viable reanimator target, really.

Willthomjr - That is really cool, actually.  I'm interested to know how, besides the fact that elves are good at that :P

I would like to go back to zendikar one day, but I hope it's 5-7yrs from now so they can build up to it like they did with Ravinca. I want us to go back to Dominaria 1st. I want to know what has happened since the mending.

This. So much this. I've said before but Wizards should totally return to Dominaria and have the OG characters return as playable planeswalkers. How awesome would it be to see Gerrard, Captain of the Weatherlight as a planeswalker. Or Barrin, AND Urza. Yawgmoth @_@

I disagree about the reanimator target. I destroy people with {sheolrd the whispering one} and {it that betrays}. Amazing combo when both are on the field. I just keep stealing their creatures. This combo has made my reanimator unbeatable in my meta. So idk about you guys, but reanimating {it that betrays} or even {artisan of kozeliks} is a game changer in my opinion. I've actually pulled it off that I buried all three and by turn 2, I had them all out on the field.

Yeah, It that Betrays is a pretty cool reanimator target, and the only problem with Artisan is that he has to be cast for his effect to activate.  Most cards like {Unburial Rites}, {Exhume}, {Zombify}, etc. say put on to the battlefield.  Unless I'm having a total dumb moment, they would not activate his ability since he wasn't technically cast from the graveyard.

@ quack: You do know that artisan of koz. must be CAST to get any effect.

😳 omg I'm a cheater.

Definately going to rethink having those. But none the less, the whisperer/betray combo works.
