I wonder; does Cemetery Reaper's activated ability resolve before the triggered ability that shuffles their library into their graveyard? If so, that means that if you could get somebody to sacrifice Progenitous, or Ulamog, or Emrakul, or Kozilek, (or just find someway to put them into the graveyard) you could exile the dang things before they get back into the safety of their library, and get a nifty Zombie out of it at the same time. . .

EDIT: *Essence Scatter* + *crack Relic of Progenitus* = 3 mana answer to Ulamog.

Things that work well with giant eldrazi:
"Cheating" them onto the field (aka belbe's portal)
Momentous fall (answers removal from game cards)
Archenemy (T1 Ulamog + awesomeness!)
Game plan for ulamog: cheat him into play now, sacrifice to momentous fall to hard cast him later.

Great in No/Prog Elves. 11 mana is quite easy to get in the 1st few turns with Priest of Titania , Gaea's Cradle , Elvish Archdruid etc.

I won't be using this as my EDH/Commander general.
I will however be using this in all my decks to prevent being milled.

At first glance this guy might look a little expensive on the casting cost side. However, the Indestructibility + the Annihilator + the free(target permanent goes boom) if you cast it...it's just nasty. Oh ya by the way, "Mill Decks" got nothin if this guy is in your deck. Vintage & Legacy players can also "cheat" this guy into play pretty fast. Awesome card! 5/5

Don't want to troll, but i kinda don't like most Eldrazis.
It's like
A: "Hey, let's make some epic creatures, like a gods or something!"
B: "Great idea! They should be interesting, with some unique abilities that makes players think how to use them properly, you know, so they could build decks around them and sh*t."
A: "Naah, let's just make them awfully big, hard to hit the table and make them kill everything, that will do! And the players will just have to find a way to pull them out - but don't worry, we'll prepare some special things for that, too."
B: "..."

May just be the best Eldrazi. Sure, Emrakul might be the tiniest bit harder to kill (maybe - it's quite debatable), but Ulamog is cheaper and can almost as easily win the game when he hits the table. There are a lot of times when he's actually superior to Emrakul too - for example, if your opponent is using something like that Basilisk-Sparkmage combo; Ulamog will live through it, Emrakul will not.

If you're worried about playing against the Eldrazi - a lot of the time, fast decks beat Eldrazi ramp decks, just because they're spending all their time mana ramping and you're spending your time beating face. Having said that, even with fast aggro against mana ramp, it can be hard to come back from A T3/4 Summoning Trap into an Eldrazi without already having an answer, and a lot of the ramp decks run 4 Summ Traps in order to get the Eldrazi out easier, and to back up their Primeval Titans (T3/4 Primeval, Counter, Summ Trap into Ulamog - your move).

4.5/5 - whether you cheat it out or ram... (see all)

Best Eldrazi art. I mean, what is Emrakul? Some cross between a beehive and a spider??
