Everyone likes Haven puns. Hell, regardless of how much we claim to hate them, we all turn into punners at one point or another after long exposition to Haven.
I'm guessing this has something to do with Haven being secretely the carrier of a horrible virus.
Activated abilities are any ability in the form of "(cost): (effect)". That includes the Eldrazi Spawn's ability to sacrifice itself for mana, but not things like Annihilator (which is a triggered ability).
I would say that with the Eldrazi, the cost pretty much justifies what you're getting. With that said, they're too easy to summon, mostly because managing 20 mana is not that hard, provided you build up for it.
And there's stuff like Elvish Piper.
Anyway, I find it amusing that both Linvala and Iona can't stop the Eldrazi. By which I mean, flavourful.
Vish Kal's pretty scary overall. He can remove anything, get big enough to hit as hard as it can and if you manage to make him big enough, you can recover simply because of lifelink.
He's a good general, and I'd play him were it not because Teysa's much more up my speed.
Speaking of R/B, I've been tempted to make a Tsabo Tavoc deck, if only because the idea of saying "fuck you, guys, your generals can't do shit" sounds mildly amusing.
Or you could go with Empress Galina. "Your generals can totally do stuff...but only for me."
Fairly sure there's at least one of my decks uses Galina, but I can't remember which. Prolly Szadek as that deck was pretty much "Hey, I forgot my deck. Can I borrow yours to win? Kthnx"
For my birthday (which isn't today; I got it in the post) I received my own Political Puppets commander deck. Don't worry, I'm not planning on subjecting anyone to Giftgoat; I chose it mainly because Nin is in it.
Well, I do because Numot's the dickest of the dicks and Ruhan relies too much on chance for my own taste. Santa Goat's the only WUR general with a degree of strategy to her that doesn't involve drawing all the hate. It also helps that I can even draw hate away from me if necessary. Combine all of that with the fact that I can counter spells, bounce permanents, burn and nuke as necessary and she's pretty much amongst my fave decks. I don't run it that much because I don't get to multiplayer a lot these days. Most of my days are spent losing to Haven. and sometimes we play, even.

Good white creatures that can be cast for 4-5 mana or less

Could this hypothetically be used to counter the Eldrazi?

Santa Goat has really great design, but I get the impression that people are sick of seeing her.
