OUT: Cultivator Colossus, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Fyndhorn Elves, Elves of Deep Shadow, Vampiric Tutor, Not Dead After All, Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip, Demonic Tutor, Lightning Greaves, Greater Good

IN: Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, Shakedown Heavy, Hunted Bonebrute, Tear Asunder, Nature's Claim, Culling Ritual, Nature's Lore, Arcane Signet, Unnatural Growth, Underground Mortuary

Trying to work out some kinks in this deck. I find myself without big boys to sac to the 'Rog sometimes. Also, upping the land count a little instead of using dorks that will die to Culling Ritual.

I may also come to regret pulling out the tutors, but I never know what to look for that will help me win immediately, so out they come for now.

if you don't mind me asking, why no Lightning Greaves?

indieinside, without play testing my immediate thoughts are, not enough ramp/draw...

I'd take out a few creatures, 37 is a lot for some more utility.

In the maybe board specifically...

Adaptive Automaton is good but again you have a lot of creature

Bloodline Pretender only buffs himself not worth imo

Crypt Rats - again if you can give this infect its a great wincon

The other rats are all ok and on theme but if anything can replace a relentless rat...

Lightning Greaves is a great call but i see you have already added it.

Necrogen Communion seems strong and worth an include

Death Denied seems to inefficient. your paying to return them to hand then still have to recast...just use Yawgmoth's Will

My valuation could easily be off since this is 1v1 focused and I am used to building with multiplayer in mind, but that's my thoughts.

Thanks d00d!

Hall of the Bandit Lord Urborg fixes this. The infect/poison strategy NEEDS haste. On that thought: Lightning Greaves.

Blinkmoth Nexus this is very narrow but it can speed up the Inkmoth win. It can carry auras/equipment.

Bojuka Bog free removal.

Locust Miser neat tax + tribal.

Mirror of the Forebears/Mirage Mirror solid clones.

Imp's Mischief staple in mono black.

Koskun Falls color pie bending blast from the past.

Caerwyn on How to keep Nekusar on …

One thing to remember with Nekusar, an important part of winning is killing your opponents before he enables their victory through card draw. You really are going to want to get infect on him, through cards like Phyresis, Glistening Oil, or Grafted Exoskeleton.

This means you need to be careful with cards that confer Shroud - while those cards are fine after you enchant or equip Nekusar with your infect enabler, if you draw them too early, you cannot use them to protect Nekusar before he gains infect (other than Lightning Greaves which you could equip to something else and back onto Nekusar).

I mean, Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves seem obvious. Next best things are Whispersilk Cloak and maybe Mask of Avacyn. Kaya's Ghostform and similar cards might work as well.

Oh man, Clout of the Dominus is also amazing here. Probably better than Lightning Greaves lol.

Some thoughts:

• traditionally Eldrazi Tron has always needed the full playset of Chalice of the Void in order to remain competitive and ensuring they can reliably do something obnoxious early.

• ditch Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, they’re both too clumsy for eldrazi tron builds - which has no reliable way to assemble tron.

• Forsaken Monument is better run as a single copy in your sideboard than a mainboard card - the card just doesn’t do enough to be mainboard material.

• you really want to be running 23-24 lands.

• i have no idea why Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is in your sideboard… unless Mill consumes a massive percentage of your meta??

• Elixir of Immortality and Lightning Greaves feel like very weak sideboard cards. I’m surprised your sideboard doesn’t have stuff like Liquimetal Coating, Ensnaring Bridge, Wurmcoil Engine, Cityscape Leveler and Sundering Titan
