Deck overview

This deck is a five-color Eldrazi swarm strategy commanded by Azlask, the Swelling Scourge. The game plan revolves around generating wide boards of colorless Eldrazi Spawn and Scion creature tokens. As these tokens sacrifice themselves for colorless mana, they trigger Azlask's passive ability, accumulating experience counters directly on the player. The deck leverages cards like Path of Annihilation and a multi-color mana base to pay Azlask's {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} activated ability, granting the entire team a massive power boost while giving all Scions and Spawns indestructible and annihilator 1. Asymmetric sweepers such as All Is Dust and Selective Obliteration break parity by decimating colored opposing permanents while leaving the Eldrazi army untouched. Backup win conditions include life-drain attrition from Glaring Fleshraker and infinite flicker loops with Eldrazi Displacer and Brood Monitor.
