Valakut/Warp World

I've always kinda liked Warped World. And I wanted a chance to use my favorite new creatures--guys that come in with eldrazi tokens! What better way to abuse that than ramping into warp world and playing eldrazi monuments?

You have to just play 1 of each of the legendary guys or else your warp world can really suck. You also have to hope your opponent doesn't do anything for the first seven turns in order for you to get all set up and get off a warp world. That's what makes it so strong.

Or you just turn six a Kozilek and watch your opponent pick up their cards.

I guess technically this deck has removal...you have to hard-cast Ulamog. And obviously Valakut can hit the dome or the dude. But it is such a late-range option it is barely worth mentioning.


4x Nest Invader
4x Harrow
4x Growth Spasm
4x Awakening Zone
4x Emrakul's Hatcher
3x Kozilek's Predator
3x Eldrazi Monument
3x Avenger of Zendikar
2x Warp World
1x Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
1x Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
1x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

26 lands
3x Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
3x Terramorphic Expanse
3x Evolving Wilds
6x Forests
11x Mountain

Oh. Crap. I forgot a pretty important piece of the puzzle. Also I've been thinking about Warp World and how it has no synergy with Khalni Expedition, and I think perhaps Rampant Growth is more suitable. On one hand Khalni Expedition is something that actually hits the board, but on the other hand I have to play more lands after that cause it doesn't get counters. I'm not sure what the right call is, actually. Probably expedition, cause it works so well with valakut.

Now I have to figure out what to cut for monument. I already don't have harrow in here. I guess I could just skip rampant growth/khalni expedition and run harrow...

"Or you just turn six a Kozilek and watch your opponent pick up their cards."

if by "watch your opponent pick up their cards." you mean "search your library for a basic land and put it onto the battlefield tapped."

I found some really awesome cards you should put in your deck and get rid of some of those other crappy cards.

Anathemancer
Bogarden Hellkite
Cosi's Ravager
Turntimber ranger

Those would really make your deck pop i think.
