        Also not sure how you failed to mention that Connor took my advice to cut Thought-Knot Seer. That's the most important change from how most people build the deck.

        Finally, you published his list with 58 maindeck cards.

          First of all: Thank you for the write-up, Joe! I appreciate a lot that you offer so much vintage content so frequently.

          Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow,
          bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.

              That and cutting Eldrazi Temple for more Plains which I assume also is something Connor got from you.

                So this isn't even White Eldrazi anymore. What's the point of Reality Smasher?

                  Smasher is a ridiculously undercosted threat for all of his abilities - and regular 2/1 hatebear decks never had the clock this guy poses. He's also beast vs walkers with the haste.

                      I'll admit my experience at building and playing this deck are limited , but I don't understand how you can run 4 smashers after cutting eldrazi temple? I would think that as soon as you remove temple, tks and smasher would follow. It's a whole package, as even displacer gets a lot worse without temple. Wouldn't you be better off just playing white trash with ancient tomb for thorn and chalice at that point?

                        @Macdeath Smasher and Displacer get in the club on lines of pure power, latter is a great late game mana sink too.

                          I agree. Could even just play Stoneforge Mystic rather than Smashers.
