I intended this as an eldrazi deck in black and green, using Channel and Dark Ritual, among other things, to power up the mana quickly while still trying to retain combat capabilities at the lower end of the curve. Some of the newer eldrazi help the creature curve, with half of the 16 coming in under the 5-spot, and a quarter coming in under the 3-spot. Many of the usual suspects one would expect of green for mana are conspicuously absent, though all were considered. I also included a number of larger eldrazi in an attempt to make the game move into my control once they can enter play. The (1)/11/13/4/3/0/0/0/2/4/0/2 curve is long, but the heavy weighting to the low end still keeps it to only a 3.38, despite eight cards above the 7-spot.
