I just came back from the Rise of the Eldrazi Pre-Release awhile ago. I pulled a non-foil version of the promo card (Emrakul, the Aeons Torn; also got the Promo version of course), two rare black cards (one I traded, the other is Thought something, I forget the rest), the white card that causes creatures to take damage equal to their power when they attack, Mul-Daya Channelers, and a two red-mana Level-Up Mythic whose name I forget. xD

Then I traded all but the black Thought creature and a Polymorph for Jace the Mind Sculptor, Celestial Colonnade, and Omnath, Locus of Mana.

So what do you guys think? Did I get ripped (money-wise I know I didn't; I'm talking about usefulness of course)?

[Aaronock]

I would have done that nearly for just the Jace the Mind Sculptor o_o

[mindfairy]

based on what i think you traded, and what you got back, you made a great deal. Jace is valued at $50, conalade is towards $10, and Omnath is a good green card, so you made a great deal.
(and if the black card was perish the thought, then you traded away a dollar rare and a 10 cent common)
(and if it was thought gorger, it's another dollar rare)

A overpowered deck:

I need "Everflowing Chalice" sigh.

[Magister Magi]

Overpowered and expensive as heck. The new white Planeswalker is valued at $40 I believe. The foil is worth even more.

My red/green pre-release deck I built Sunday did pretty good. I managed to get Emrakul out about 2 out of 6 matches. Even when he wasn't out, I had low-cost creatures to pound my opponents into submission with. xD

As for Jace the Mind Sculptor, how would I modify a Flyover Into Pack (Intro Deck really) from Worldwake to make use of him?

[Avalon_Fates]

Hehe i'm running a Green Blue polymorph deck recently...now all my gangs 5 person or higher multigames is atually 4 or more vs me.

[Magister Magi]

Wow, four on one? o.o I doubt I could last five minutes in a game like that. xD Then again, I do know firsthand how strong Polymorph decks can be.

I no longer have Jace, the Mind Sculptor. I traded him for some cards I needed for my decks.

On another note, I have a red/green Eldrazi deck I'd like to get some opinions on. If you guys have the time to look, I'd like to post it.

Post away~

And that's pretty much it. I'm trying to make the deck a bit faster than it already is. My main problem right now is trying to get enough Eldrazi Spawn tokens or regular creatures out on the battlefield. That, and I want to try and pull out Emrakul fast. I'm sure that I'll need three more Eldrazi Temple's and three more Eye of Ugin's as well.

Chandra Ablaze is in there to try and help with that. Using her first ability, I could discard one of my red Spawn token-producing Instants or Sorceries, then play it (and any other red Instants or Sorceries already in my Graveyard, providing I can keep Chandra Ablaze alive long enough) for free two turns later.

Any help with making this deck faster and more competitive would be very much appreciated.
