In reply to Enrico Tognarini. My stance on Cavern is that it's a crutch. You should not be losing counterspell matchups to their counterspells. Our other lands are far more valuable. Get in the reps and permission will never beat you.

And i Can’t find anything about Cavern of Souls, and probably i would like to play one between The 4th Blinkmoth and a Cavern over The 3rd GQ. Can i have something about them? It seemed that 6 manlands was the spot

In reply to Enrico Tognarini. If you read them all, surely you know :) Lately I have been struggling vs. Bridge + Needle, AKA Whir decks. KotR not so bad with 2 Copter to soar over and find the Relics. Valakut still raceable without Breach.

In reply to Jordan Boisvert. I red them all and i finished 30 matches online with a 21-9 record. Card advantage does not matter with this deck, as you said. I won against UW Control with 4 cards in hand. May i ask you the bad matchups overall of the deck? I imagined Kotr decks and Scapeshift, but idk the others.

In reply to Enrico Tognarini. Endless is better against linear combo decks; Reshaper, against removal and small creatures. Relic is also a functional draw engine against attrition/control/midrange and our best SB cards. It also helps against value-based/KotR Company decks, which are the only Company decks that can give us trouble. These and many other aspects of the deck are well-documented on this very website, so click around and happy reading. Good luck!

Hi Jordan, talking about brews, i tried a little bit of your Eldrazi on 2 man queues on MTGO to start mastering the deck’s interaction and play patterns: I’m in love with the deck, and i have a nearly 70% win ratio and i’m thinking to start jamming Compeitit. I tried to change the list to my flavours and this is what i built:

4 Serum Powder
4 Thought-Knot Seer
2 Wastes
4 Eternal Scourge
2 Smuggler’s Copter
2 Scavenger Grounds
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Zhalfirin Void
4 Reality Smasher
2 Matter Reshaper
2 Gemstone Caverns
4 Dismember
3 Ghost Quarter
3 Blinkmoth Nexus
2 Mutavault
4 Eldrazi Temple
2 Endless One
4 Eldrazi Mimic

4 Spatial Contortion
2 Gut Shot
2 Ratchet Bomb
2 Relic of Progenitus
2 Surgical Extraction
1 Damping Matrix
2 Sorcerous Spyglass

I would like to have your advice for an open meta like MTGO and what do you think about the split of Reshaper/Endless One.
While Relic is strong, i think that 6 pieces of grave hate are enough, and i would like to jam a Damping Matrix for some matchup like Company. 10 Spot removals are for the rise of infect and Humans.

Can i have some tips? Thank you very much!

In reply to Alec Wilson. I would try a fourth Bomb in the side. I'm more careful with them in the matchup now since we need them for Bridge. Chalice is maybe worth bringing back in to turn off Looting which finds more copies.

Jordan interested in seeing Bridge pop up here too. Mardu pyromancer has been maining the card.
As this is normally a very easy match up for Colourless Eldrazi Stompy, but Bridge is an immediate game over, and there aren’t any answer without radically changing the deck (ratchet bomb is woeful), does this indicate a hostile meta shift that makes the deck a bad choice for the PPTQ season?
