Legendary Creature — Eldrazi Dragon
Emerge {6}{R}{R} (You may cast this spell by sacrificing a creature and paying the emerge cost reduced by that creature's mana value.) When you cast this spell, you may exile your hand. If you do, draw three cards. Flying Each creature spell you cast has emerge. The emerge cost is equal to its mana cost.
“Sacrifice creatures to cast flying Eldrazi—rummage and rebuild your hand for value.”
Herigast, Erupting Nullkite is a high-powered emerge payoff that turns your creatures into ritual fuel. The core gameplan is to sacrifice expendable creatures—tokens, small utility dudes, or even bigger threats—to cast Herigast and subsequent creatures for a massive discount. When you cast Herigast, you can blank your hand for a fresh three cards, turning a potential awkward draw into card advantage. Since every creature spell gains emerge, you're essentially rummaging through your deck and building a growing board of 6/6 flyers and supporting creatures, all while saving mana across your sequence.
The deck wins through combat damage, using Herigast and an army of other creatures to pressure opponents down. You'll want to include token generators and sacrifice outlets to fuel emerge chains—think Goblin Parade, Elemental tokens, or mana dorks that double as emerge fodder. Cards that create multiple bodies or recursion effects let you sacrifice the same creature multiple times, turning Herigast into a pseudo-repeatable draw engine. By turn 5–7, you'll have a flying army backed by incremental card advantage, and opponents won't keep pace.

Skip pricey red cantrips; use Goblin Parade and Elemental tokens from commons like Felidar Retreat or Young Pyromancer instead of premium staples.
