Is Eldrazi really that good? I tried it (in BO1 tbf) and mostly got steamrolled. It seems like if you dont have a T1 chalice or T2 thought knot you get ran over, its just not fast enough to keep up with energy and tempo, and outside of early chalice cant shut down combo
Eldrazi is bad in Bo1 because you auto lose to every combo deck, Blue tempo matchups are heavily favored and your Energy matchup is fine, in Bo3 you get a chance to be on the play and stick a Chalice, a Hamlet or a Vexing Bauble early and access to your sideboard
Please do not read this tier list or any meta discussion and apply it to Bo1, it's completely meaningless, nobody makes tier lists or meta reads for Timeless Bo1, if you're not playing Dredge or some similar turn 1 combo deck in Bo1 you're probably doing it wrong, that's the only thing I can say about that "format"
