Overview:
This Eldrazi tribal deck leverages Ulalek's copying ability to amplify Eldrazi spells and activated/triggered abilities. The strategy focuses on ramping into massive colorless threats, generating Scion/Spawn tokens for mana, and overwhelming opponents through value duplication. While lacking infinite combos, it uses annihilator triggers, board wipes like All Is Dust, and combat damage as primary wincons. The deck shows moderate optimization with tribal synergy but lacks cEDH-level speed/interaction.
Primer:
Core Strategy:
Deploy Eldrazi creatures and token generators (Awakening Zone, Sifter of Skulls) to fuel Ulalek's copy engine. Use mana acceleration (Eldrazi Temple, Forsaken Monument) to cast game-ending threats (Artisan of Kozilek, Ulamog's Crusher) while duplicating their ETB/attack triggers. Secondary plans include stax-lite effects (Sire of Stagnation) and annihilator pressure.
Key Lines:
- T1-T3: Ramp with mana rocks/lands, establish token generators
- T4-T5: Cast Ulalek, start copying Eldrazi cast triggers
- T6+: Flood board with duplicated annihilator/ETB effects from Oblivion Sower, World Breaker
Mulligan Priorities:
- 3+ lands with colorless sources
- Early ramp (Sol Ring, Herald's Horn)
- Token generators or low-cost Eldrazi
Critical Interactions:
- Forsaken Monument doubles mana from Scions while buffing creatures
- Morophon, the Boundless reduces Eldrazi costs by WUBRG
- Eldrazi Displacer blinks value creatures like Deepfathom Skulker
Protection Measures:
Limited to Eldritch Immunity and Kozilek's Return. Prioritize duplicating threats over protecting them.
Weaknesses:
Critical:
- No infinite combos/alternate wincons beyond combat
- Heavy reliance on commander for value doubling
Moderate:
- Slow recovery from board wipes
- Minimal interaction for noncreature threats
Minor:
- Vulnerable to land destruction (many utility lands)
- Weak early game without ramp
Most Important Cards:
- Forsaken Monument
- Eldrazi Temple
- All Is Dust
- Herald's Horn
- Morophon, the Boundless
- Ugin, the Ineffable
- Idol of Oblivion
- Ancient Stirrings
- World Breaker
- Sire of Stagnation
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 5/10
Reaches critical mass around T7-8. Fast mana limited to Sol Ring/Arcane Signet. No T4-5 kills.
Resilience: 4/10
Vulnerable to early interaction. Limited protection/recursion outside Spawnbed Protector.
Consistency: 6/10
10+ ramp pieces and tribal tutors (Herald's Horn). Redundant token generators but lacks combo redundancy.
Interaction: 3/10
Minimal removal (Crib Swap, Warping Wail). No free counterspells. Relies on board wipes for reset.
Rating Justification:
Falls between Optimized Casual (5.0) and Focused (6.0). Superior to precons with tribal synergy and annihilator threats, but lacks:
- cEDH fast mana/combos (below 6.5)
- Robust protection/interaction (below 6.0)
- Turn 8-10 goldfish aligns with 5.0-5.5 benchmarks
Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
