Blue has some uncommon eldrazis that look interesting. And there are a couple of green eldrazi rares that seem good. But all the really fat ones are colorless (so every pw can use them) except drowner of hope which is blue. So i think Kiora has the better options to choose from a pool of eldrazi cards0 -
Cool I don't have Kiora yet but I might try with Jace for now. Just 450 more crystals to go! Lol0

I would say Kiora, if only because Drowner of Hope + From Beyond is a ridiculous combination. Everything else can be mana gain, draw and another Eldrazi creature to finish off the opponent. Theoretically say:
Drowner of Hope
From Beyond
Big Eldrazi of choice
Nissa's Pilgrimage
Fertile Thicket
Bring to Light
Talent of the Telepath
Animist's Awakening
Prism Array
Titan's Presence0 -
Think also Lilian has good chances if you own many of them.
Just keep in hand, wait to discard and reanimate.
Meanwhile you control with removals.
Ruinous path, unholy hunger, Titans presence. All very efficient.
Weight of underworld as a side removal/weakener and a good response to the overabused undergrowth champion.
For the eldrazis you want the 8+ attack ones so:
-twin
- Ulamog
- void winnower
- hangarback walker(he is not eldrazi but the best option imho)
Any you are missing can be replaced by other eldrazis with 8+ attack if possible0 -
Up until now, my only really successful Eldrazi deck has been a blue Tezzeret control deck (below). It has been tuned based on the current costs of the common & uncommon Eldrazi, and is more about using Scions to stall and build mana than it is about big, scary Eldrazi beatsticks. With the upcoming changes, I might tweak it some. I sometimes think about throwing in Fathom Feeder, because I have it and because this deck can get it out there. However, I've been somewhat unimpressed with Fathom Feeder.
Creatures:
Incubator Drone
Jhessian Thief
Willbreaker
Spells:
Adverse Conditions
Scour From Existence
Supports:
Sphinx's Tutelage
Jace's Sanctum
Claustrophobia
Sandstone Bridge
Spawning Bed
Looking ahead, I'm most interested in trying a black Eldrazi / discard deck with Liliana. I would TOTALLY go Blue/Green if I had Kiora, but I don't know if I'll ever buy her.0 -
Jace:
Critters:
Salvage drone
Cryptic Cruiser
Fathom Feeder
Ruination guide
Supports:
Sphinx's Tutelage
Spells:
Turn to frog
Scour from existence
Anchor to the aether
Tightening Coils
Bone to ash
Pretty standard board control, but with a TON of ingest available once the Fathom Feeder hits the board. Clog your opponent with useless creatures that can't attack at all, then slowly grind them down with your own.0 -
Well before the 1.5 update, I mentioned in an earlier thread that I created stating that I "may be onto something" regarding Eldrazi and Koth. Now that the 1.5 update is live... I might have created a monster of a deck... might be partly because of the massive buffing Koth got - might be partly because some of the Eldrazi got buffed, but right now I'm on a tear with an Eldrazi based Koth deck.
Also, is it just me... or do Eldrazi themed decks work better with mostly Mythic rarity cards?0 -

A deck list would be nice, plz & ty.
Yes, Eldrazi are really Mythic dependent.0 -

Yes, Eldrazi are really Mythic dependent.
Level 60 Koth
Creatures/Spells/Supports: 4/5/1
Creatures:
Bane of Bala God
Oblivion Sower
Blight Herder
Dust Stalker
Spells:
Demolish
Serpentine Spike
Kozilek's Return
Crumble to Dust
Slab Hammer
Supports:
Shrine of the Forsaken Gods
Bolded cards have Devoid.
This deck revolves and takes advantage of Koth's massive mana gains from matches while keeping the board cycling through using Ingest effects. This not only really keeps my opponent mana starved in nearly every game, but doesn't affect me that much due to the # of cards with devoid.
Shrine is basically a very effective ramp (especially against Chandra...) that has a lot of synergy with Eldrazi in general. Crumble to Dust is this deck's secret weapon - Koth might still have a mana penalty with and ... but what if you simply ingest ALL of those gems all at once? Basically it's Koth's first ability on 'roids (and really hampers Jace/Gideon/Kiora)! Demolish is a very solid card in it's own right - and a great way to ensure that certain supports don't ruin your day. Serpentine Spike and Kozilek's Return offers up plenty of creature removal - Spike clears out boards and/or beatsticks while Kozilek's Return just keeps coming back for more.
The Eldrazi I chose for the deck have either a nasty effect when they show up and/or cause even more Ingest shenanigans!0 -
I keep forgetting void gems don't fill colorless, just devoid...... I must ask why? Why can't literally colorless gems fill colorless cards? It makes no sense! And don't get me started on non colorless devoid.0
-
I like the deck....ticked that I don't have many of these cards.0
