Beleren, the Eternities Bare 8u

Legendary Creature - Eldrazi

Devoid

Prowess

When you cast ~, all players shuffle their graveyards into their libraries.

X: reveal the top X cards of target player's library. Until end of turn, you may play cards revealed this way and use mana as though it were mana of any color to cast spells played this way. (cards revealed this way remain on top of that player's library.)

When a card you do not own would leave your control, exile it instead. (Obligatory rule text to keep this trigger from looping on mtgo)

Ugin's Discovery 2CC
Sorcery
Look at the top 5 cards of your library. Reveal a colorless card from among them, then put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
It was then that Ugin realized that the titans weren't dead—heavily injured, but not dead. He noted to himself to return to Zendikar every century, to see how they recuperated. "Perhaps they can be tied to another world," he mused.

Nahiri's Transformation 3RR
Sorcery
Exile target creature or planeswalker. That permanent's controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal an Eldrazi creature card. That player puts that card onto the battlefield, then shuffles the rest into their library.
Nahiri's laughter was caught in her throat as her skin began to change. Furious, she hurled everything, from swords to whole cryptoliths, at Emrakul to no effect. Soon, she too was turned into a creature beyond her worst nightmares.

Vis Conquest 3UBR
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may return a creature card from a graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste and is a Zombie in addition to its other types. Sacrifice it at the beginning of your next end step.
Whenever a non-Zombie creature dies, draw a card and you gain 1 life.
The denizens of Alara hide in small pockets across the world, trying to survive as the Grixis deathscape grows. The lich lords see this as a challenge waiting to be completed.
