    icon_question.gif A surprising number of Eldrazi creatures were released in Eldritch Moon. Has anyone built or tweaked an Eldrazi deck w the new cards? Or do any of the new cards sub in well for older standby Eldrazi from the BFZ block?

      So far, my favorite, favorite, favorite card is Lone Rider/It That Rides as One. It is far and away the best card in my Gideon deck for several reasons.

      1. Plays turn 1.
      2. First strike, lifelink, and trample. Give this berserk, and its a creature killing, life gaining hammer. Put Sharp Eyes, or Champion on this, and its very hard to kill, and my favorite blocker.
      3. Blocking transform tricks are great. If it has defender (my deck runs Always Watching), it can block a larger creature, deal damage as Lone Rider, then transform into It That Rides as One. Best chump block in the game.

      Estimator of the Province's, how I love this guy. Yes, he is a mythic - but he provides so much. 21 mana for a 12/12 Eldrazi with haste, trample, and berserker in addition to emerge 3. That and he gives +4/+4, haste, trample, and berserker to all friendly creatures upon entering the battlefield!

      Lone Rider is amazing. With both Lifelink AND First Strike, I just hope they don't nerf it. I subbed him into my GIDEON deck and the deck is much faster and stronger for it. It's not an Eldrazi deck at all. In fact, aside from Lone Rider, it's all humans. He's so useful, I might make other tweaks. But he's great because of his abilities, not because he's Eldrazi.

      Lone Rider is basically the Serene Steward in this expansion! Why would you not play Lone Rider when it makes sense to do so?
