While MTGO still hasn't updated to include Eldritch Moon, I will bring you the successful brews that went unnoticed. Today, we have a completely colorless Eldrazi deck that might be the diamond in the rough we are all looking for. This deck curves out surprisingly well; but, unlike the other ramp decks, every land in this deck does something. When the other ramp decks are flooding out, you get to flip Westvale Abbey! Need to gas back up? Activate Sea Gate Wreckage! This deck got 11th at GP Pittsburgh in the hands of Chris Kemple, and with some tuning it could be the new hotness.

While I adore the mana base, I do think that some Kozilek's Returns would work wonders in the matchups Thought-Knot Seer is weak, so maybe a Red splash would be advantageous. I am going to leave that for you to decide and close with a deck list featuring my favorite tribe, Vampires. We were teased in Shadows Over Innistrad with a new Olivia that we couldn't make use of. Now we have enough quality cards to fill out our curve and go all out on the Madness synergies. While, I don't think this will be the best archetype to dominate Standard, it looks to be really fun, and maybe with some hard work, it can get there.
