Welcome back to Wombo Combo, your home for finding Commander's best combo cards according to EDHREC and Commander Spellbook.
With the recent Spider-Man set and upcoming Marvel Superheroes set putting a focus on Villains, we're going to take a trip through some of Magic's most prolific villains: the Eldrazi.
Eldrazi were first introduced in the aptly named Rise of the Eldrazi set in 2010, and were the focus of several sets to follow, including Battle for Zendikar and Eldritch Moon.
Alongside Phyrexians, Eldrazi are some of the main villains of the Magic multiverse, wrecking havoc and causing destruction wherever they land.
Soon, they'll also be the bane of your opponents as the Eldrazi demolish them and hand you a victory. Let's see which Eldrazi are best suited for the role.
#10: Endless One
Deck Inclusions 24,222 decks (0.27%)
Endless One has a great set of properties for recursion decks. It has a mana cost of with 0 base toughness, meaning it can be cast for and die immediately.
This is useful for Enduring Renewal and Mortuary combos, as there's no mana or sacrifice outlet required. T
he 0 toughness is also optimal for Colfenor, the Last Yew, as it'll be easily recurred to your hand.
#9: Smothering Abomination
Deck Inclusions: 40,094 decks (0.87%)
Drawing cards is always great in Magic, and Smothering Abomination allows you to do so as you sacrifice creatures.
This can be used as a payoff for existing combos, letting you draw your library. Smothering Abomination can also be a catalyst for combos involving cards such as Nadir Kraken and The Locust God, creating a circular loop of triggers if you control a sacrifice outlet.
Lyla, Holographic Assistant also benefits from Smothering Abomination by placing counters on creatures.
#8: Sifter of Skulls
Deck Inclusions: 44,885 decks (0.98%)
Sifter of Skulls triggers on a nontoken creature's death to create a 1/1 Eldrazi Scion creature token, which can then add mana. It can be used as a piece of redundancy for Pawn of Ulamog (which isn't an Eldrazi, funny enough) and even Pitiless Plunderer in some combos.
The mana can be used in a variety of ways, from activating Reassembling Skeleton's ability to paying for Nim Deathmantle's trigger. The creature can also be sacrificed to pay costs found on cards like Scourge of Nel Toth.
#7: Anticausal Vestige
Deck Inclusions: 61,792 decks (1.15%)
What about an Eldrazi that can draw you a card and cheat a permanent onto the battlefield? Look no further than Anticausal Vestige, which does both when it leaves the battlefield, and can do so twice with its warp ability.
Notably, the cheating scales as you control more lands, letting you cheat Anticausal Vestige out if you control six or more.
Cards like Enduring Renewal and Cloudstone Curio can use this to great effect. Clone creatures, including Mirror Image, are also great options for more triggers.
#6: Herald of Kozilek
Deck Inclusions: 25,790 decks (1.22%)
Mana is the keystone of Magic, and any opportunity to make more mana or save mana is beneficial. Herald of Kozilek simply makes colorless spells cost less, which is perfect for Eldrazi as the majority are colorless.
Another main use of this effect is to reduce the cost of artifacts, including the extremely popular Sensei's Divining Top.
Herald of Kozilek makes Top free, eliminating a need for mana in combos that'll easily draw your entire library. The cost reduction also works great for Evolution Witness and Scrap Trawler combos.
#5: Glaring Fleshraker
Deck Inclusions: 115,869 decks (1.29%)
Similar to Herald of Kozilek, Glaring Fleshraker also acts as a cost reducer for colorless spells with some notable differences. First, Glaring Fleshraker creates a 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn creature token, which you can then sacrifice for .
This means you'll need to provide the full mana cost of a spell, and then receive the mana as a rebate of sorts. The main benefit of Glaring Fleshraker is its second ability, which deals 1 damage to each opponent whenever a colorless creature (like the Eldrazi Spawn) enters under your control.
This'll add a free payoff to many of the same combos mentioned above, and combos involving Ulalek, Fused Atrocity.
#4: Skittering Precursor
Deck Inclusions: 11,325 decks (0.25%)
Eldrazi Spawns make another appearance on this list, generated by Skittering Precursor as non-token creatures you control die.
This'll add extra mana as creatures die, enabling cost reductions and additional death triggers. The extra mana helps pay for Cult Conscript's activated ability and to cast Chthonian Nightmare.
The token can also be sacrificed to trigger Beifong's Bounty Hunters for earthbending combos.
#3: Eternal Scourge
Deck Inclusions: 24,094 decks (0.27%)
The exile zone, by design, is meant to be harder to get cards from than the library or graveyard. Eternal Scourge doesn't care about that, however, as it lets you cast it from exile.
This turns Food Chain into a two-card combo that gives you infinite mana for creature spells. Eternal Scourge is great to pair with Rest in Peace and similar cards, which'll exile Scourge for you.
It's also a great inclusion for several popular commanders, like Prosper, Tome-Bound, and has a few options for redundancy, like Squee, the Immortal and Misthollow Griffin.
#2: Eldrazi Displacer
Deck Inclusions: 53,602 decks (1.28%)
Eldrazi Displacer is an easy way to get additional triggers from creatures by exiling them and returning them to the battlefield.
There's a plethora of good uses for this effect, from making mana with Peregrine Drake to creature tokens with Brood Monitor.
You can blink multiple permanents by using Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward alongside Eldrazi Displacer, creating creature tokens in the process.
There's also the option to make artifact tokens, like with Odric, Blood-Cursed, and sacrifice those artifacts to Krark-Clan Ironworks.
#1: Basking Broodscale
Deck Inclusions: 70,062 decks (1.68%)
Basking Broodscale acts as redundancy for Herd Baloth and Scurry Oak, with the massive upside of creating an Eldrazi Spawn instead that can create mana.
Placing counters on Broodscale is easily done, especially by cards like Rosie Cotton of South Lane and Cathars' Crusade.
With the tokens being able to sacrifice themselves, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest and Long Feng, Grand Secretariat become viable options as well.
The extra mana can be easily poured into your game-winning condition whenever you're ready, including Walking Ballista or Debt to the Deathless.
Honorable Mentions
Were these cards devoid of satisfaction for you? Here's a few more options:
1. Ulalek, Fused Atrocity: A great option to helm an Eldrazi deck that also copies spells and abilities on the stack. Perfect to pair with Kozilek's Unsealing and Writhing Chrysalis.
2. Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre: Also known as the "shuffle titans", these card enable you to constantly recur your graveyard into your library. A great inclusion for Tormod, the Desecrator and Syr Konrad, the Grim.
3. Spawnsire of Ulamog: Easily creates Eldrazi Spawns that can store mana for later, or create an infinite combo with a token doubler such as Parallel Lives.
4. Echoes of Eternity: Copies all colorless spells you cast and doubles colorless triggers, allowing Eldrazi decks to ramp up massively.
