Craterhoof on a Budget

[theultimateend]

Genesis Wave all the way, but Fog also in the sideboard.

Genesis Wave can be insanely good with the amount of mana you have available, the only drawback that I see is that if you get a Craterhoof plus a lot of creatures with Genesis, it fells you're wasting those creatures and their temporary power because of summoning sickness. Nevertheless, if you can afford playing Genesis with that much mana, it means you already have a lot of creatures, and you can always play Craterhoof on the next turn.

Great deck idea by the way. I'm also trying to make a deck on a budget, because, well, I live on a budget :/. I made a B/W Exalted deck with mostly M13 cards, similar to the intro deck, the only rares that I have are 2 [mtg_card=Cathedral of War] and a single [mtg_card=Silverblade Paladin], I could throw a single white Mikaeus too (From the Vault foil, got it as a prize), but I don't think it could do any good. I can't afford [mtg_card=Sublime Archangel] yet. It's a bit simple and has no imagination, but it relatively good.

My Genesis wave deck runs a few concordant crossroads. If that is too old you can just grab a couple hysterias.

As for counterspells?

Hmmm...yeah I think that'll work just fine >_>.

At least that's what I do, haven't worried about a control spell yet <_<.

My main goal is usually to genesis wave for 10, then tap a bunch of mana generators to trigger the 20 mana cost move on Spawnsire of Ulamog.

Then EXPLOSION!

Basically this:

Leads into this:

The Ulamog goes off at instant speed, other than stifle I think you should be fine.

Then you cast in order, It that betrays, all is dust (which causes all colored permanents to become yours), then Emrakul which gives you a second turn (though if you ran with hasty you probably already killed everyone).

That uh...not wallet friendly. But if you have them laying around its considerably funny.

It also has the nice effect of killing any amount of opponents in FFA...well...within reason. It can be quite obscene.

I just keep those eldrazi in my sidedeck for ease of recovery for the combo .

PS. Memoricide will ruin you <.<...same with surgical extraction.

There's a few other cards that will ruin your day too. [mtg_card=Lobotomy], [mtg_card=Cranial Extraction], and [mtg_card=Time Stop] will do it quite well if timed right.

Also, I'm pretty sure the idea of the deck was to play on Standard format.

Indeed indeed, but for the most part these cards are extremely uncommon in the Meta around Sunnyvale.

I think instead of Viridian Corrupter, it might be worth it to run Yeva's Forcemage which could work well in tandem with Ezuri if you still don't have a Behemoth out.
