You know what they say – you can’t make an omelet, or in this case an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn – without cracking a few eggs. This deck is looking to tuck a scary creature under Modern staple Summoner’s Egg and then crack it via Phyrexia’s Core or Greater Gargadon. Should we be unable to find our deck’s namesake we also have a backup plan of cheating our large creatures into play via Through the Breach.

This is a spell based combo deck that is looking to generate a large amount of mana. It does this using spells like Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual and Manamorphose alongside creatures like Baral, Chief of Compliance and Goblin Electromancer. With this mana we cast the card Gifts Ungiven to fetch Past in Flames and Grapeshot to win the game with.

This is a combo control deck that is looking to keep the board in check using efficient removal like Lightning Bolt and Path to Exile. Our eventual combo is Nahiri, the Harbinger ticking up to eight and then ultimating to find Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Nahiri offers powerful flexibility in a deck like this. She enables us to filter through cards we draw that might not line up well against our opponent, while also serving as additional removal with her down tick.

This is a double toolbox deck that utilizes most of its sideboard for a Glittering Wish package, while containing a variety of bullets in the main deck as well to search up with Bring to Light. All of the non-sense is tied together thanks to a variety of cards that ramp mana out faster and various combo kills that involve Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.

This is a newer aggressive deck that is looking to abuse the power of its namesake Hardened Scales along side various cards that come with +1/+1 counters. Arcbound Ravager and Steel Overseer are both quickly lethal when left unchecked on most boards along side Scales.

This is a more interesting take on the fairly bland Red-Green Valakut Titan deck. Nahiri, the Harbinger allows our deck to filter through the “wrong half” as well as eventually floop a Primeval Titan into play. Nahiri can also answer problem permanents like Blood Moon with her down tick. The small white splash also allows us to have access to powerful sideboard cards.

This is a combo deck that puts some combination of Puresteel Paladin and Sram, Senior Edificer into play and then plays out a variety of zero mana equipment to draw through its deck while generating storm count. Mox Opal along with Retract lets us pick all of our gear back up and keep drawing cards while we combo. Eventually we play two pieces of fast mana and cast a lethal Grapeshot to win the game.

Why limit yourself to just one combo when you can play them all? This deck not only has Griselbrand and Goryo’s Vengeance, but it also has Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker plus Deceiver Exarch. We can combo with Kiki as early as the third turn thanks to Izzet Charm ditching our combo creatures and then Living End flipping them back into play off of As Foretold.

This is a two card combo deck that is looking to cast its namesake Ad Nauseam while it either has Phyrexian Unlife in play or has also resolved an Angel’s Grace. This allows us to draw our entire deck, which then allows us to kill our opponent by casting Lightning Storm by pitching a few copies of Simian Spirit Guide. You can learn more about Ad Nauseam in this guide here.
