Prophylaxis

Inspired by an Owen Turtenwald article.

Basically, {Fist of Suns} + {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}.

Man... I would punch this deck in the face. 😜 Good deck, well put together. Looks like it would run smoothly.

... I'd still punch it's smooth face.

ðŸ˜,ðŸ˜,ðŸ˜,ðŸ˜, Ever consider {Composite Golem}s and {Crystal Quarry}?

Prophylaxis

Golem is too slow, Quarry isn't modern legal.
I didn't want to buy 3 more Emrakuls, so I used a variety of Eldrazi.

Oops!  I need to check which forum I'm posting in.   :-[

I know what you mean with the Golem, especially since you have playsets of both {Pentad Prism} and {Channel the Suns}.

Prophylaxis

One thing I like about this deck is that it's cheap for modern. Only the {Through the Breach}s amd Eldrazi cost a lot. Lands too.

{Ancient Ziggurat}?
This deck isn't really looking to cast creatures.

Alpha

Can't you pay the fist of suns for play an eldrazi with the ziggurat?

With only 8 creatures, why bother having a mana soruce only for creatures. Especially when he could have one more dual land for a five colour deck, or at least a land that dealt damage or even at least spawned more creatures or whatever. 😊

Sakura tribe elder instead of channel the suns?

{Fist of Suns} + {Channel the Suns} = cast anything for free

That is quite nasty. How often does it curve like that?
