Overview:

This Eldrazi tribal deck helmed by Ulalek, Fused Atrocity focuses on ramping into massive colorless threats and leveraging the commander's ability to cheat out spells. The strategy revolves around deploying cost-reduction effects (e.g., Herald of Kozilek, Forsaken Monument) and token generators (e.g., From Beyond, Awakening Zone) to accelerate into game-ending Eldrazi like It That Betrays or Decimator of the Provinces. Ulalek acts as a critical enabler, providing a combat-focused win condition and pseudo-card advantage via its damage trigger. However, the deck heavily relies on resolving its commander and maintaining a critical mass of mana sources to function.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Ramp (Turns 1-4): Prioritize mana rocks (Sol Ring, Hedron Archive), land-based ramp (Eldrazi Temple, Shrine of the Forsaken Gods), and Spawn/Scion generators (Awakening Zone, Sifter of Skulls). Use Ancient Stirrings or Herald's Horn to find key pieces.
2. Deploy Commander/Threats (Turns 5-7): Cast Ulalek using ramp, then attack to trigger its ability and cheat out Eldrazi like Artisan of Kozilek or World Breaker. Use Morophon, the Boundless to further reduce costs.
3. Overwhelm Opponents (Turns 7+): Deploy finishers like Eldrazi Monument or Decimator of the Provinces for lethal swings. Use All Is Dust or Kozilek's Return to clear blockers.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3+ lands, at least 1 ramp artifact, and a cost-reducer or token generator.
• Prioritize Sol Ring, Eldrazi Temple, or From Beyond in opening hands.
• Avoid hands with only high-CMC spells and no ramp.

Key Tips:

• Use Eldrazi Displacer to reset Ulalek’s summoning sickness or protect it from removal.
• Forsaken Monument doubles as a mana amplifier and anthem effect.
• Conduit of Ruin tutors for It That Betrays or Artisan of Kozilek while reducing their cost.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Commander-dependent strategy: Ulalek’s 7 CMC makes recasting prohibitive after removal.
• Minimal protection: Lacks counterspells or hexproof-granting effects to shield key pieces.

Moderate

• Slow setup: Enters-tapped lands (e.g., Spawning Bed, Twisted Landscape) delay early plays.
• Weak to artifact hate: Vandalblast or Collector Ouphe cripples mana rocks and Forsaken Monument.

Minor

• Limited interaction: Relies on All Is Dust and Imprisoned in the Moon for removal, leaving it vulnerable to resolved threats.

Most Important Cards:

• Forsaken Monument (Mana doubling, anthem effect)
• From Beyond (Token generation, tutor for Eldrazi)
• Sol Ring (Critical early ramp)
• Eldrazi Temple (Cost reduction for key threats)
• All Is Dust (Asymmetric board wipe)
• Ugin, the Ineffable (Removal, card advantage)
• Morophon, the Boundless (Cost reduction for Eldrazi)
• Herald of Kozilek (Early cost reduction)
• Conduit of Ruin (Tutor + cost reduction)
• Endbringer (Card draw, board control)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 4/10

• Struggles to deploy meaningful threats before turn 6-7 due to high average CMC and limited fast mana.

Resilience: 3/10

• Minimal recursion/protection; board wipes or repeated commander removal cripple the game plan.

Consistency: 5/10

• Moderate card draw (e.g., Endbringer, Return of the Wildspeaker) and a few tutors, but lacks redundancy for key pieces.

Interaction: 3/10

• Relies on a handful of sorcery-speed wipes and situational removal; struggles against instant-speed combos.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a Casual/Precon power level, aiming to win via combat around T10-12 with minimal interaction or protection. While it has some ramp and tribal synergy, its dependency on a high-CMC commander and slow mana base caps its competitiveness.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
