This deck was built in mind to provide mana ramp and field advantage, while also providing various routes of overwhelming the enemy. The deck provides 5 routes of victory that can be achieved within 5 turns provided that the strategist/planeswalker playing the deck is skilled. I would classify this deck as a moderate skilled deck because of its design to play with different aspects of the Battle of Zendikar/Oath of the Gatewatch. Key cards that set the deck up for success in the deck include Avenger of Zendikar, Eldrazi titans (Emrakul, Aeon's Torn, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, and ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger), Hangarback Walker and Mirrorpool. The deck itself is simple however with the systematic mana ramp that could have one with as much as 10 mana by turn 4 and pumping out Kozilek or Ulamog in the same turn.

The cards I defined above as key, set the strategy as to place the opponent in a position of a forced hand. If they don't have answers to your build up they will surely fall. Avenger of Zendikar gives the player field presence from its plants, and with landfall it makes these countless plants even stronger. The Eldrazi titans, with their own effects devastate a turn(s) as to force the opponent to see the error of their ways in the previous turn or force a counter. Hangarback Walker is a staple as it provide not only a possible beater but spawns Thopters for even more swarm and field presence. Mirrorpool is an overall great land, with its copy effects that can copy Avenger of Zendikar, any instant or sorcery, or any of the other Eldrazi in the deck that add flourish to its design.

The decks flaw is prolonged play if the case that you can't put your own swarm out against a opponent's swarm or get an Eldrazi titan on the field to handle unnecessary counter play. However, such cases that you are having trouble with colored decks or colorless decks, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon and All is Dust can clear the field and reset your advantage.

Overall, I believe this is a great deck and it works well for its type. Try if you like, or don't but it will be mine for quite sometime.
