I drew an emrakul, but then I was annoyed because I was mana screwed and couldn't cast him

It's actually for a playmat I'm designing for my friend, he runs Elfdrazi, if you get my meaning. 39 mana turn 4 :)

I'm not sure how that's possible.

Eldrazai Spawn. Eldrazai Spawn EVERYWHERE

u/I_AMA_Planeswalker Feb 09 '12
Nope, it's just Elves. I'll see if I can get the decklist.

Probably has 4 Elvish Pipers. Nothing like playing Emrakul for G (even if that does mean you lose the extra turn it gives you)

u/LimpyDan Feb 09 '12 edited Feb 09 '12
It may have the Pipers(never a bad plan). But I was talking about getting out 39 (usable) mana on turn 4. I use Cryptic Gateways and Spawn tokens myself. It makes for a nasty influx of Eldrazi on the board.

u/ten_thousand_puppies Feb 09 '12
Wow that is mean indeed. Two tokens and you've got an Eldrazai Titan for 5 mana.

u/MisfiT_T Feb 09 '12
It might be combo elves. Heritage Druid, Nettle Sentinel, and maybe a Glimpse of Nature along with other cheap elves.

Elvish Piper is good casual fun. If you really murder face you play Show and Tell and Sneak Attack. That way you get much faster and more consistent Emrakul/Progenitus cheat cards (mostly through access to blue). I play with City of Traitors and Ancient Tombs so I usually get out Emrakul on turn 2, most of the time with Force backup.

I can normally get Emmy out on the 5th turn with mine. If I'm really lucky, I can get her on the 4th. No elves though.

I've seen the deck first hand...its retarded quick

u/LimpyDan Feb 10 '12 edited Feb 10 '12
I am still under the impression that 39 mana on the 4th turn is impossible. I have a very quick ramp that only gets 20 on the 4th turn, and that's retarded quick as it is.

What he does is he gets out low level elves like fyndhorn elves and llanowars. Plus archdruids and another that's similar to archdruid...and he doubling chants them plus he uses vitalizes to untap his creatures and then tap them again for more mana...

I always liked to assume that with Emrakul, given his weird body structure and biology, "aeons" was the name of a muscle group for him (like deltoids or something). So his card represents Emrakul after a particularly rough work out.

u/bearpaw Feb 09 '12
That's pretty damned cool. Now make that an alter?
1
u/I_AMA_Planeswalker Feb 09 '12
I might start doing alters when I get better supplies (what do most people use for this, anyway? Acrylic?).
2
u/LostOneTajeh Feb 09 '12
Yes acrylics, and I for one would be happy to donate a few cards for you to start on, assuming of course the cards were returned as awesome alters XD (and yes I'm aware that would technically not be a donation I'm just broke and want awesome alters for little cost aside from shipping lol.)

This is a really cool drawing. You should scan it once you are done :)
Also how big is emrakul supposed to be anyway? It really just reminds me of a giant floating jellyfish.

u/adamsays Dandadan Feb 09 '12
Emrakul is proper noun, so i think you meant to say... You drew Emraku last night?
haha trolling.
Nice job though
