My EMN Brews

[kurufal]

So here are my Eldritch Moon brews. My only disclaimer is that you won't find any alterations of G/W Tokens or CoCo variations here (which I hope makes you happy).

The first deck I will list is just fun and possibly full of free spells. It revolves around getting the new Tamiyo, Field Researcher to -7 on turn 6 by using Oath of Gideon and a bunch of 2 drops to protect it. Once you get to turn 6 you should use the Ultimate and cast Coax from the Blind Eternities and search your sideboard for one of the three eldrazi's that would best suit your matchup. And don't forget you can cast it for free.

The next deck is the one I want to build the most. Brisela, Voice of Nightmares looks like she will break anything in standard if she Melds. So to get to the later game I put them in a W/B control shell and removed the board wipes that would decimate my goal of melding Gisela, the Broken Blade and Bruna, the Fading Light. I replaced the cards like Languish with creatures that tax the enemy really hard like Archangel of Tithes and the new Thalia, Heretic Cathar. Honestly, Gisela, the Broken (wtf she's so strong) is literally just that all by herself. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a Lightning Bolt reprint soon.

The next deck I brewed literally because all the hype around white cards. Black cards have a lot of synergy right now in my opinion and the Zombies in standard right now can fend for themselves in a lot of match ups. The main combo for this deck was turn 2 Stormkirk Condemned into turn 3 Voldaren Pariah with madness into a bunch of Relentless Dead to flip Voldaren Pariah and even bring back a couple Relentless Dead using their abilities. I added a little green and blue because Grim Flayer worked really well with Gisa and Geralf as well as Diregraf Colossus.

The last deck I think is the most broken of all. It's an Emerge deck with Eldritch Evolution. The idea is to get a Turn 3 Matter Reshaper into a turn 4 Emerge card into a turn 5 Eldritch Evolution. You can get an Ulamog, Ceasless Hunger pretty consistently, albeit not cast, he's a little hard to deal with on turn 5. The next big thing I believe is a little broken is that Rise from the Grave is being reprinted. The value of all the cards played, whether it be Matter Reshaper being sacrificed for Emerge and, at least, drawing another card, hitting the effects of a Distended Mindbender, and Evolving it into a 10/10 that mills 20 cards when it attacks is pretty ridiculous.

Anyway, let me know what you think. I love brewing and my next brew will be a counters deck, mostly because I have a soft spot for Managorger Hydra.

Sweet Brews! I really like the Tamiyo build and the Emerge build. Very unique ways of building around certain cards to just win out of nowhere. Coax has been my favorite answer to how to use Tamiyo thus far, especially because you can put cheap Eldrazi in the sideboard too in case you don't draw into a Tamiyo. Gives you options which is really what the card is all about.

The emerge deck is sweet and I'm positive at least one version of it will be be able to give CoCo decks and G/W humans decks a run for their money. Coupling Emerge to Eldritch Evolution is a very clever idea, as it lets you cheap out the real big threats more easily. 

I have a buddy who's been brewing with emerge, and right now he's doing a Blue/Red emerge deck with Elder Deep-Fiend and Kozilek's Return. The Return is a huge swing that pretty much kills anything a CoCo deck would be playing. He uses Jace, Vryn's Prodigy to discard the Return, and emerges the Deep-Fiend out of Pilgrims eye. It seems good so far, but Elder Deep-Fiend is the biggest threat, and when it dies, he tends to run out of steam. There may be a way to combine your build and his and do something like a Red/Green build that uses the green Emerge guys, Eldritch Evolution, and Kozilek's Return.

I was going to go U/B because Distended mindbender and Elder deep-fiend are so strong by themselves. I thought to myself what would happen if they removed my creatures? and thats when I added the Rise from the Grave, which isn't getting a lot of the hype it deserved, once I added that, I added my Jace, Vryn's Prodigy as a discard outlet and thought since I have the discard outlet I might as well add some huge eldrazi like Ulamog, Ceaseless Hunger and Emrakul to the deck, that's when I started looking at CMC for the ermerge creatures and it sparked an interest in Elritch Evolution. Once I added green it made it an easy home for Reality Smasher with the 8 Llanowar Wastes / Yavimiya Coast and Grim Flayer Suddenly looked strong and I added him for more graveyard fuel and hand fixing. Everything works so well together that nearly any starting hand is going to have exactly what you need and you have so many easy routes towards your win condition. It jsut overall is extremely efficient and consistent.The one I was looking to take out was Decimator of the Provinces as it's the only one that doesn't fit the curve and would be easy to fill with another Elder Deep-fiend or maybe even a Dragonlord Silumgar or Sire of Stagnation to really throw off someones board state or Altered Ego to double up on an emerge creature. I have a few Kiora's laying around that I will probably put in if I need fillers.
