I mean, the deck's called Eldrazi Unleashed with a big ol' Eldrazi as the default Commander and Eldrazi on the box art. "That deck is all about Eldrazi" is a pretty safe assumption to make as a casual consumer of Magic — you need to go out of your way to find the blog posts and such where MaRo...

You know what's a triggered ability? Annihilator. ;) It's Eldrazi Mimic meets Shimmer Myr, all in a tidy Ikorian package. As for exciting stuff... I like the idea of casting Thought-Knot Seer on villain's draw step.

There are honestly some pretty nice cards in the Eldrazi deck... mostly because hey, they work with artifacts too! The Archaic is especially interesting if you have any utility lands.

There's also this little build-around: I just want to play Spirited Companion as if it were Explore, OK?

Am I the only person who likes... Silverfur Partisan? Like, on the surface, it's just a tribal support piece for a tribe that very few people are going to be supporting outside of, I dunno, an Innistrad cube. But it shines if combat tricks are a thing in your format. In that kind of...

Looking at the list of changelings on Scryfall... I'm reminded of why they're kinda disappointing from a cube perspective. I really wish that we had more changelings that are cool in the absence of tribal synergies. I think I'd only really be tempted to run the following: Mirror Entity Orvar...

Hmm... I like this better than the Squad cards from 40k, if only because it doesn't have that terrible border. That secondary text is pretty likely to be trinket text in most cubes... but it'd definitely be a funny A+B combo with something like Universal Automaton or Nameless Inversion. (For...

The issue with that argument is that singleton formats are singleton because it cuts down on consistency, in order to avoid the play pattern you see in 60-card formats where your deck does the same thing every single game. As far as I can tell, the original idea behind Commander was that having...

Your spelling of Kamigawa Block Tiny Leaders is way off, guys.

Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer and Daretti, Scrap Savant for non-Mercadian examples (because Mercadia is intentionally an "inverted" plane where everything's backwards).

Yep. Not the craziest ramp you can get out of our Engineer friend, but it still works. Try this on for size: Basalt Monolith

This, really. The Gatherer comments from 2013ish are full of people losing their minds over how good Vampire Nighthawk was. Of course, nowadays it'd probably be a 4/4 and people would still look at it and go "eh... I don't think it's worth it". (Slightly off-topic: I had a conversation with my...

Perennial Behemoth OK, maybe not really, but the fact that there's a limit on what you can reanimate with it but there isn't one on what you can entomb with it can be useful.

Eh, that curve seems... alright? The thing is that the cards Jinny wants (mass token producers) are different from the cards Sam wants (creatures, Historic stuff). Cenn's Enlistment Grim Hireling Beacon of Creation Glistening Dawn (Yes, Incubate works with Jinny like you think it does...

So, from a quick Scryfall search... There are a few other interesting ones (avoiding straightforward one-sided wraths, because those are kinda boring): Austere Command By Invitation Only Sculpted Sunburst Single Combat Raise the Palisade Rollick of Abandon Oversimplify

Yeah, you pretty much chose the two deck archetypes that want completely different things out of their finishers. If you were WAY lower power, I'd suggest something like Ironhoof Boar

Garruk is also one of those planeswalkers where getting them off the board by attacking them isn't unreasonable., so you might not even need to increase your planeswalker-ok removal density all that much.

Garruk's a solid lad. I think that playing him as a three 3/3s in a trenchcoat or a slow overrun is totally fine — having a card that's a completely different roleplayer in a bunch of different decks is fun and cool. That could actually make a good thread, honestly — just a list of solid...

Clearly you need to include a squadron pick of Stomping Slabs as an alternate payoff for topdeck manipulation. :p --- As for actual manipulation, may I suggest Cream of the Crop?

It's looting because Innistrad's vampires have a strong mechanical connection to discarding and the graveyard alongside the more normal life-total-stealing stuff. If Blood had been introduced on another plane, it probably wouldn't loot... but we also probably wouldn't have gotten it as a token...
