Eldrazi Incursion Precon: Decklist, Value, and Verdict

On one Eldritch hand I’m docking this deck points for being released so close to the Eldrazi Unbound precon from Commander Masters. Again, two decks with similar themes that close to one another makes both feel less unique, though I appreciate that they’re approaching different color identity angles. Otherwise, the value’s here, and the new offerings are sufficiently powerful. People just love their Eldrazi, and that’s what they’re gonna get.

Big Eldrazelephant in the room though: The price gouging is far from justified for this precon and might hurt its availability and long-term reputation. I don’t hold that against the deck itself, but just note that you might actually not be getting your money’s worth here unless the price drops significantly.

Ulalek, Fused AtrocityAzlask, the Swelling Scourge

Eldrazi Incursion brings back the Eldrazi again, and they’re just as squiggly as before, just a little more colorful this time. The same thing’s going on with Creative Energy here: I can’t help but lose some excitement over an “Eldrazi precon” when that was the literal tagline for a precon we got less than a year ago. I do appreciate that it’s taking the distinct 5-color commander approach instead of fully-colorless, though the Eldrazi well has officially run dry after this one.

The Eldrazi Incursion EDH precon has a commander who’s an absolute nuisance on so many levels. Ulalek, Fused Atrocity has a color identity and therefore provides a home for all those devoid Eldrazi that didn’t fit in 2023’s Eldrazi Unbound precon. Ulalek also has a ridiculous ability in terms of complexity and power level. It’s meant to work with all the Eldrazi cast triggers, but it’s got some fiddly timing.

There’s also Azlask, the Swelling Scourge, a.k.a. the Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls 1. It takes advantage of those smallball Eldrazi tokens you’ll be creating, but it also serves as a potential 5-color experience counter commander, if that’s something you’ve wanted.

The first thing I looked for when upgrading this deck was cards that were too specific or situational, and I tried to replace them with something a bit more consistent. For instance, Vile Redeemer and Ulamog's Nullifier, while both potentially powerful in the right circumstances, could end up being much less effective if the right conditions aren’t met.
