Recent updates to Voidwarped Eldrazi (On Hold): (Generated at 2025-05-02 04:16:12)
I am designing the Eldrazi card first. I do need to come up a consistent non-eldrazi faction to put in them in a world with (Return to Mirodin style). Any suggestions would be welcome. (Ravnica has already been done in fan set, as has Kamigawa). Possibilities besides an original world Lorwyn-Shadowmore (unlikely to be revisited), Alternative BFZ or Theros (Bestow+Auras work equally well in both factions decks.)
Ironically this was supposed to be the Rustrazor Butcher variant.
The name was supposed to be playt-ishand describe what the cards do, and not be an actual shade (Eldrazi names are hard to come up with). White and Black are the two colours that are allowed to get single mana +1/+1 pumping until end of turn. See Blessing. White is also allowed to pump for power for rare occasions Capashen Knight, Duergar Cave-Guard and White Shield Crusader. While white is tertiary in these effects, in is allowed to get them. The point of the Eldrazi is create card that feel odd which is why this card is white rather than black. (This why Swarm Surge gives first strike, why most red eldrazi have toughness that power.
I am considering to change the card to [1][C]; +2/+1 until end of turn, although that competes with Havoc Sower. +1/+2 compete with Stalking Drone and +1/+0 competes with Kozilek's Shrieker. I should make a [C]: +0/+1 variant but I don't want to put in in white, as that the colour this effect would normally be. (possible blue or black)
Got it. Not a one mana effect. Should I remove the milling bonus though?
There you go!... In Chrome, at least. Firefox is on its way.
Edit 2016-02-17: Firefox and IE too.

Fun fact: If you respond to the activated ability with something like Humble, Ovinize, or Turn to Frog, then suddenly the damage does go to their life total. All that power from just one little frog...
Heh. I've been assuming that KeresAcheron is just designing the Eldrazi from their set first, and will design the Zendikari, or whoever are the natives of the plane being terrorised, later.
Voidwarp seems to be a valid mill strategy. But I feel this set is going far enough to make it the ONLY strategy. Have you made any cards that deal normal damage?
Haha, that is a fantastic text for the final ability. Immensely splashy. Almost leaves you feeling cheated when you realise it's not instant-win, but it's still "mill for 20" so it's still awesome.
Interestingly, this encourages you to focus on voidwarp, and avoid dealing any life-total damage to the opponent. I find that pleasing, but I'm not 100% sure whether it's good for deckbuilding.
FWIW I'd say this is most of Distress, so pretty squarely 2 mana. The exile is relevant too; Castigate is pretty good. I think this is probably okay at 2 mana, but it definitely shouldn't be considered for 1 mana.
