Link to the deckedout episode: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fb5gi9N8qbytc30.htmlsi=3Az5xT19Zqk0KKJK Thank you!

I like Eldrazi in commander, because they're so open abut the fact that They Are The Problem. So many decks pull the 'Just A Little Guy' card whenever you start calling them out as a threat, saying that they only get going with the rest of a combo, or that the deck isn't actually doing anything while you can blatantly see them building the Death Star on the field. Eldrazi have none of this. The moment an Eldrazi hits the board having cost dozens of mana with an effect that says 'Every other player punches each other in the face until someone bleeds on their playmat', everyone knows who the problem is, and nobody can deny it.

To think I could've gone my whole life without hearing the word "Ulalussy"

Heaven help whoever fires off Ulalek with Echoes of Eternity and/or Zhulodok, because you’re getting jumped in the parking lot for sure. Probably with assistance from the next table over.

Man, I love Nine Fucking Sol Rings, best card

Fun Fact: Ulalek + Roaming Throne lets you double both Ulalek's effect and the effect of any Eldrazi copied by him. For example, If you cast Flayer of Loyalties and pay the additional cost, the Roaming Throne double trigger is still on the stack when the Ulalek trigger resolves and so that double becomes a quadruple, and Throne doubles the Ulalek double. Ultimately, you pay 12 mana to take control over 8 enemy creatures, turn them into 10/10 haste creatures with Annihilator 2. Basically, you are either winning the game, or are doing an orbital nuclear strike on a single opponent (annihilator 16 + 80 damage) who is likely going to jump you outside the LGS.

It’s time. For thousands of years it has laid dormant since battle for zendikar…but now…my eldrazi deck shall rise again!!

I built a Morophon deck with the purpose of running nothing but Devoid Eldrazi/spells and artifacts (lovingly called my 5-colorless deck) and then now they're printing all these haymakers with this set for that deck. It's wild.

Oh god, yeah, I think the most infuriating thing about this card will be having to explain why the copy ability will not copy what they think it does because that is not how the stack works. So many magic players don't understand the stack. "No, that eldrazi without flash will not make a copy of that other creature you just cast, it has already resolved and is on the battlefield. Oh my god no, you can't respond to the ETB of that other creature by casting that eldrazi, again, it doesn't have flash, you have to play it at sorcery speed. NO, YOU CAN'T......" You get the idea. I can picture it now.

The Ulalussy- I'm dead, I'm slain, I'm in the dirt decomposing.

Chandra: "Hey guys look! I solved the Ulamog and Kozilek problem. With my fire!" Entire rest of the Gatewatch: "No Chandra. What you did was somehow make it *Worse!"*

The spaghetti-man players have cursed me to always fear even an empty board from a colorless deck. If they untap with anything, not even they know the absolutely heinous stuff that'll end with.

Nine Fucking Sol Rings sent me out of orbit

wait till they find out theres some eldrazi tribal instants

Tell my Hearthstone players out there remember shudderwock if not beware his Jaws that bite his claws that catch

I'm just happy to finally have a real tribal commander for Eldrazi. Eldrazi, horrors, phyrexians, and insects are my favorite tribes and I am so happy to finally have a true tribal commander for each of these tribes. Been waiting on this since I first played commander back in 2011 and to see them all happen within a relatively short time span just makes me very happy.

I love your takes on cards. You are a very funny and informative guy. Thank you!

Fun fact: With Echoes of Eternity out, you can keep copying the same spell a number of times equal to the CC you can pay, because Ulalek’s ability can copy other instances of itself.

Ulalussy

I will say, I really love how this is worded. Without setup, this is simply CC to copy a creature only while it's being cast. With proper planning and knowledge of the stack, this becomes increasingly abusable. Ulalek will get a lot of mileage out of cascade and flash, and there absolutely has to be ways of comboing with colorless mana generation effects.

Never gave into simic before but had to here. Built him as ulalek , "confused" atrocity. Just a simic build with a slight group hug subtheme that goes about making a jenga tower out of the stack. Once you get two flashed out eldrazi on there and start exponentially copying triggers, all hells loose

the "nineteen fucking soul rings" card really got me

And before we are done with Eldrazi, just use Prototype Portal to Imprint Draco (who’s a 16 mana Artifact Creature - Dragon) and Cast the new Ulamog to give him 16 +1/+1 counters and Annihilator 16.

Watch out for eldrazi and shapeshifters with flash

How the hell did he know that I just started watching Heroes yesterday???

Woah, woah, woah! Heroes was a national treasure, sir

Remember everyone this sets also printing Kozileks Command which is an Eldrazi Instant, so I'm pretty sure you can play a dummy thick spaghetti monster pay the 2, then cast Kozileks Command in response to that spell going on the stack to get an extra copy of both the command AND the spaghetti monster.

already pre-ordered the deck x2 I ordered a 2nd 1 in case I get mugged of the first one and my cosco membership rejected.

Once more I beseech the Lord of Roasts to take a crack at Eight-and-a-Half-Tails. He's my favorite commander

God that fucking deep cut with Heroes. You're so right they didn't even need anything past season 1

Great game btw, I was rootin for ya the whole way

Ulalussy. Wow. What a word to add to my vocabulary today

The second you see mirror box hit play you have a moral obligation to kill every one of the man's artifacts.

The Ulalussy is a wild thing to flashbang us with 😂😂😂

Lol, you should cover the NEWEST ulamog, think you'll get a kick out of it XD

hello again. Once more i am here to ask for Jaxis, The Troublemaker. i'll see you in the next one.

Damn the burn on Heroes.

I'm going to have to walk to the top of my thinking mountain and sit with my chin on my fist for several hours contemplating the life choices that led up to the word ULALUSSY becoming part of my life

Feels like it's gonna be an Eldrazi Summer

I LOVE ELDRAZI!!! THIS CARD IS VERY FAIR!! :D WOE, Twenty spells upon ye

Hey, that shot at Heroes was uncalled for. Every time I see Zachary Quinto play a character in another movie I think hes going to start giving people a Lobotomy with The Force.

"Magic advice is like real advice, if someone tries to flash you, call the cops" ........I died laughing at that

Not the heroes reference giving me whiplash good lord 😂

Broooo the 9 sol rings got me 😂☠️

There are Shapeshifter Typal Instants that have Changeling, you don't necessarily need Flash to copy spells.

I haven't questioned a 'get it' call this hard since the Dino. Seriously?

Why'd you have to hit me with that Heroes reminder 😭

I think it’s a flavor win that “Ulamog, the Defiler” is giving Tron the help it needs.

Lmao Heroes catching strays. I remember loving that show when it came out. I truly have no idea what I saw in it upon trying to rewatch it.

I like the concept of this card, but then you can look at the rest of the set and go “oh fuck no”

I like to think the reason MH3 has these insane stack manipulating eldrazi cards (Ulalek, Echoes of Eternity, possibly more) is because trying to keep track of it with paper cards is the easiest way to make a player descend into cosmic madness. So I give them points for the flavour win.

You know even Eldrazi don’t have as many offers and conditions as Davriel, Soul Broker

ulamog and kozilek held hands and this came out of the gap between their palms

Thank you for reminding me this exists so that I can put it in my deck with Glaring Fleshraker that I like to call “Pro Life”

Fun art thing, this one has the visual signifiers of all the titans. Ulamogs head and branch arms, Emrakuls tentacles and Kozileks geometry veil thingy

As someone who no longer plays but was playing when the zendikar block came out, it's funny seeing Eldrazi are still the crazy menaces they were.

The heroes bit made me cry bro 😂

The thing about Ulalek, he needs flash to do what he wants to do, you need flash on your eldrazi to copy other spells, cuz you need them on the stack first otherwise they resolve before Ulaleks ability, and you can’t cast eldrazi while other spells are on the stack, the other thing is if you get the flash the copies are exponential, as you control the copies, so what you do is you gain flash (there was like 10 or 11 cards to give eldrazi flash) you cast a spell, you interrupt it by casting an eldrazi, Ulalek triggers, you interrupt by casting a second eldrazi, you now pay for his ability, witch copies his other trigger, and loop until you run out of mana. FYI 11 triggers is 2048 instances of a spell, and if your copying your ramp like you should be, you easily have 22 colorless mana available, and shapeshifters count as eldrazi

Every set that comes out makes me want to build Toshiro removal. Not because ulalek is busted (it is, but that’s not it); it’s because I really don’t want some new player trying to figure out their own stack 🙄 never letting this commander resolve

I have a guy in my group who directly said he would rather play against a Slivdrazi Monstrosity led commander deck than either of the five color elderazi leaders spoiled for mh3.

The Eldrazi precon was extremely strong and now they add stuff like this. Its actually crazy.

the smaller cut in of you saying we dont need more heroes was great

I was wondering what the lore was behind this but staring at the art for 30 seconds trying to discern which brood it was then checking the name again it finally clicked that this is a fusion of [Ula]mog and Kozi[lek], and that's why it had the traits of both. Bisecting arms, tentacles, and a faceless bone mask from Ulamog. Some sort of carapace, eyes on it's joints, and those floating plates around the head from Kozilek.

First to one of the best shows on Earth!

I lost count of the days, but I'm still waiting for a tayam roast

Ideally, this will help spread understanding of how the stack actually works. In reality, the blind haven't led the blind this much since they tried to describe an elephant.

That ending fucking killed me. Im not kink shaming. Im kink asking why

Could you put a link to the mentioned video at the end in the description?

I didnt exactly need to learn the word Ulalussy today, but I did

I just got home from my shop, last game I had x2 Zhula'docs out. The eldrazi where if I cast a colorless spell I get a scion, and I get to ping everyone for 1 life, I also had throne out for double triggers of everything. I'll spare you the rest, but I ended up with like 60 cascades before we called it. Midway through I got echoes which just made it worse lol. I'm somewhat newer, but tryign to understand the stack at that point I feel like I'm going to need to bring paper and pen to keep track of everything....

Papa mauldi on I hate your deck? Epic combo, must keep

Goddamn it, I can't get enough of Nine Fucking Sol Rings

Bro joined the Eldrazi for some Ulalussy and I'm joining in as well.

Cant wait to play this commander hells ya

Question if you use Ulalek’s ability after casting an Eldrazi spell would you copy something like an up the beanstalk trigger as well since it goes on the stack? Trying to figure out what types of things synergise with it since I’m looking to build the deck when it comes out.

My man Raff, weatherlite stalwart would love a Costco membership

Also is it true you need special lands to play eldrzi werewolves from emerical and shadows over inistrad?

Haha Tishanas tidebinder goes wrrrr.

A very apropos name for *_WTF IS THAT EFFECT_*

"Ulalussy" Sir please turn yourself in

Hey can we get a link to go watch that junk? would be very convenient to just go from here to there

Ulalussy foes crazy 😂

Im confused, in commander would this be a colourless card, a 5 colour card or both?

Can't wait to see Emralek and Ulakul, or gods forbid Kozulakul in Modern Horizons 4.

Heavy breathing* I wil clone aaaaaall the things now

It's a rare commander that can make Shields of Velis Vell playable, tho. (It's a 1 mv Eldrazi instant, thereby easily triggering copying spells &/or activated &/or triggered abilities (incl its own!))

The heros season 2 is a deep cut

...Guess I've got my next Commander now. *_Weird._*

Is no one else thinking about how Eldrazi now have access to the crimes of all 5 colors

You didnt have to remind me heroes existed

One of my local stores did NOT do their research, and are pre-selling this precon for $60. So yeah - instant speed Eldrazi babey

I mean, you gotta be curious what the Eldritch bedroom is like

A HUNDRED THOUSAND CURSES UPON THE ELDRAZI AND THEIR CREATORS

One question. It is a Devoid card but uses colorless or all 5 colors to cast. So as a commander would it be a 5 color deck or only wasteland colorless? Makes a difference in what I can build with it.

I'm just happy to have another commander I can hurl my two salt decks at and not feel bad!! (Slivers and Dimir Exile)

Another day of asking for Neera, Wild Mage

So I’ve played like twice this year so I’m still unfamiliar with Commander, but would I be able to mesh this guy in my colorless deck? That mana cost is throwing me off.

and this is why Summary Dismissal exists

Nine Sol Rings? It states mana abilities can't be copied on the card.

Smeagol, Helpful Guide next, please!
