Eldrazi Confluence

Selective Obliteration's Lack of Kindred

New 13 Jun 2024 Asked by jimharbor 12 Comments

Why isn't Selective Obliteration a Kindred Sorcery- Eldrazi? Its a colorless Eldrazi flavored card without devoid. I thought for MH3 (and its commander set) the Eldrazi flavor cards would either be devoid or eldrazi . Thank you for asnwering our questions sir.


There are three colorless instants and sorceries with colorless mana costs in the Modern Horizons III Commander decks. One has Kindred Eldrazi (Eldritch Immunity) and the other two (Eldrazi Confluence & Selective Obliteration) don’t, meaning Eldritch Immunity is the outlier, not Selective Obliteration. I’m not sure why one was Kindred and the other two not. It does demonstrate the slippery slope that discourages us from using Kindred often.

Eldrazi Precon Deck Compositions

Why does the Eldrazi precon have a mix of Spawn and Scions? I know you can help which is used when it comes to reprints, but it has Chittering Dispatcher as a new card that makes Spawn and Eldrazi Confluence and Spawnbed Protector as new cards that make Scions (the protector is especially annoying, with spawn in its name when it doesn't even make them). I wish it had just kept with the main set and only used Spawn for new cards. They would be a touch weaker but the consistency would be so much nicer.


Making a hundred card deck around the Eldrazi is tricky being how few sets they’ve been in. I don’t think the design team building the deck had the choice to not use both. And once that was a known thing, having new cards do both wasn’t a huge deal.
