Thanks. I have to go apologize to my meta. They gunna be pissed. But even without the artisan, I still whip them with all the other goodies I have in that deck. 😝

{Show and Tell} and {Sneak Attack} which is essentially reanimator at this point don't play Eldrazi, their ETB is nothing, and I can put something out for free (which is {Jace, the Mind Sculptor}, or something awesome). Classic reanimator is unplayable confronted with {Daze}, {Cursecatcher} and {Force of Will}.

To explain why (which I'd love to) Eldrazi are really just Johnny cards (and people face described them as "broken", which is a automatic reaction to their power level) they're not highly playable, yet fun.

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.
No you're right they aren't either one of those things. If you want to get an eldrazi out it will take more skill and finesse to do. It's not like oh hey I'll drop this into my gy and bring it back and.. It's more like okay how can I get these big guys out faster without paying their mana cost but still casting them...

Have Eldrazi ever seen top tier play?

{Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} appears occasionally in {Show and Tell}, but he's kinda rediculous. Theyre just "fun", which is why people like them. It's fun to dump an Eldrazi on the board.

I'd say it's fun to put down a 15/15, flying, pro-spells, Anihilator 6 fatty on as early as T1.

'Cause, you know, winning is fun. ;)

Seems like {Channel} Emrakul would cut it, doesn't it?

In standard during the zendikar block, there was a R/G eldrazi deck. Back when valakut decks were big. The meta was overrun by valakut and caw-blades. One fnm all the valakut players switched there decks to R/G eldrazi because everyone's sideboards were straight valakut hate. Also because the decks were so similar that they only had to change about four different cards. It was pretty competitive. Turn three and four eldrazi is kinda scary.
