Yeah, I just swapped them straight for Kozilek’s Channelers. They don’t die to Exquisite Firecraft or Rhino, they “produce” 2 mana just the same, and paying the extra mana to tutor up the Ulamog seems very worth it, since I was able to shave some 10-drops for some more gas.

NICE!

I am sure that there are better versions of the deck than mine, but I think you’ve seen the insane lines of play it can generate.

I’ll be watching this type of deck at the PT like a hawk!

Conduit of Ruin might be the sick tech 🙂

I had 6 lands, Ulamog on the battlefield, Oblivion Sower in hand, second Ulamog on top thanks to Conduit of Ruin. Untapped, drew, attacked, exiled most of their library, cast Sower into Scorn to steal more than 10 lands, cast second Ulamog into Scorn to exile Ojutai and leave them dead to first Ulamog.

I’m not sure if the deck is actually any good, but at least the dream exists.
