Ooooh ooooh look, he's written!

Don't wanna run out of time like last time so I'm going to get right to it.
Spreading seas!
I love this card. Overall I am a huge fan of blue non red control decks. Sooo bant, esper, uw, UB, decks and with every base of a control deck, I start with spreading seas.
Mana bases are huuuuuge in modern and it never changes and with the super fast eldrazi deck, that statement holds lots of water. 3 or more color decks rely on being able to fetch up the exact mana they need and when they need that double green for eternal witness or they are hoping to play orzhov pontiff, they cant because you lock them out of a color. Now imagine shoving them completly out of green or shoving red right out of well...red. What do they have now? Nothing, zero,Nada, ziiiiip. They are now looking to top deck that temple garden for their knight of the reliquary or  looking for their 3rd red for kiki jiki, you can't chord for that shit sucka.
And I am sure you are asking, willieg, my nigga, why not use the one mana land hosers instead? Well good sir or Madame, its because spreading seas draws you a card and in blue based decks, drawing cards only let's you go deeper into what you need to control the mid to late game. A great situation of spreading seas with two mana up and you draw a remand. Shit, now you are denying them mana, drawing a card and now you have a counter spell that draws you a card and shuts off a key play for their turn while drawing a card. MYGODTHEFUCKINGVALUE. Spreading seas,just do it
The eldrazi deck!
I wqs a huge fan of just banning eldrazi temple before the twin ban. I had been grinding mtgo in modern and holy shit, playing against that deck was rather tough. Being able to temple into map into temple or ugin then turn three drop oblivion sower is powerful. With the UB version you could turn 1 temple map,turn 2 tomb into heartless summoning turn 3 UB land sire of stagnation watch tears from opponents eyes. I mean I had fun doing that you could play other stuff lol. Its a powerful deck and having access to thoughtseize and IoK puts it ahead of so man other decks in the first two turns. I  hoping to see this deck at the pt...and then lose In the top 8 so it doesn't get banned
 Oath of Nissa and sire of stagnation
I love sire and as I mentioned before, I think he's very powerful in a UB eldrazi deck. Not so much in standard unless there is a UB control deck that can ramp him out sooner. Standard is an aggressive creature format right now so a turn 6 creature that benefits from your opp...
Had to stop writing because of a bomb threat on my train and in my cabin. Guess I'll finish with a part three. Thanks for reading
