Ways to deal with Eldrazi in Common and Uncommon:

Name: Corpsehatch
Cost: 3BB
Type: Sorcery
Rules Text: Destroy target nonblack creature.
Put two 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn
creature tokens onto the battlefield. They have "Sacrifice this creature:
Add {1} to your mana pool."
Rarity:

Uncommon


Name: Guard Duty
Cost: W
Type: Enchantment - Aura
Rules Text: Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has defender.
Rarity: Common

Plus, dubiously, Perish the Thought (targeted discard), Vendetta (kill it but take 8+ damage for the privilege), Virulent Swipe (Annihilate still triggers and you lose a guy, too), Heat Ray (if you have 9+ mana available), Traitorous Instinct (get your own Annihilate), Daggerback Basilisk (Annihilate still triggers).

Small prediction based on very limited experience and playskill: evasion is going to be more important than ever before in this set.  Either because you want to kill past their walls before their Eldrazi become online or to stop them killing you past your walls until your Eldrazi come online.

Anyone else got any predictions for draft now that we see a lot more of the set?

Oust is pretty sweet too. For W you can make their massive token sacrifice meaningless.
