I'm going to start by saying I love eldrazi. Ever since I started playing Magic I've always felt like they were my calling. Its been about a year and a half since I first tried making a deck that at the time I had no idea what I was doing ( I tried Deceiver of Form with a bunch of creatures and turning them into Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger with the help of Conduit of Ruin. That was before I was told about the Legendary Rule.) Since I've come to a better understanding on how the game works and I've usually kept eldrazi at an arms length to avoid too many high cost spells (a deck building problem I've been trying to fix) and not having anything to do early game. But recently eldrazi have been on my mind and I still always get a lot of joy from seeing my opponents squirm when I pull one off. So this deck was born. I've been playing around with this for a couple months and I've hit a point where I'm not sure what I need to do. It's very risky without the right opening hand and I know there's room for improvement. Basically, how this goes is cheating in eldrazi. Turn 1 I play Blisterpod turn 2 is whatever I have available and then turn 3 I drop Descendants' Path turn 4 if I'm lucky I get either a big eldrazi or Conduit of Ruin and get a big guy of my choice. When it works it works great, but that's if I get a good starting hand, so for fallback I have Champion of Rhonas and Samut, the Tested. Also, for a little extra speed if I don't get the best opening hand I added Urabrask the Hidden so when I get a big guy out, he can attack immediately. I also found Annihilator seemed to be a good effect on the eldrazi so most of the bigger guys have it. Eye of Ugin is a sideboard land if format isn't a concern with my opponent. Otherwise I am trying to stick with modern. Constructive criticism is totally fine. I can't help but feel like it's missing something and I'm hoping you guys can both help me as well as expand on my deck idea for yourself. The "Maybeboard" are aome things that TappedOut suggested that I feel like could prove useful in the deck, so please, by all means let me know your thoughts on those as well. Thanks in advance and I hope it's as fun for you as it has been for me (when it works).

Forgot about Nest Invader and figured he'd be a good fit for 2 mana. Replacing the Vedalken Orrery and Urabrask the Hidden for it. I almost considered taking out Vile Redeemer but since he has flash, I figured he'd be a good little flash blocker if I needed as a 3/3 for 3 and you get a scion. Let me know your opinion on that change.
