If you're going hell-bent mono-"brown", the Sundering Titan + Prototype Portal combo is hilarious. Of course, that kinda requires both cards.
If you're looking for chumpers... Wurmcoil Engine is literally the best chumper for this, at least in my opinion. Huge-ass body T3, if it dies it kills whatever killed it, gets you 6 life, then leaves 2 more chumpers on the field.
Not sure how useful Eldrazi Temple are, if you're going to be heading the direction of Etched Champion , Darksteel Citadel might be something to think about.
If you're going to be bringing this to something very competitive, you're going to need to watch out for Sowing Salt

You're right, for a creature + draw, that's probably the only option. To draw you could use Jayemdae Tome but you lose the blocker and its also more mana!

What about Ensnaring Bridge ? It would help to control what could attack. I wouldn't get card draw but it would quell one of my biggest worries with this deck.

Ensnaring Bridge would lock down most of your win conditions(super fat eldrazi's). With a standard max hand size of 7 and no way to take your own artifact off the board, your big Eldrazi's will never be able to attack if that is out.

I think I'll read the card better next time. Thanks for enlightening me.

Oh no problem! Think you have a bit to check my brew out?
Butthurt by Tokens (3x FNM Winner)
I just made a change in that deck and I am still not sure about it.

Also, since you have no instants on your main board or sideboard, you should try to see if Bottled Cloister
will give you the card advantage you want.
It would be way better than your Solemn Simulacrum for draw...but you lose the chump blocker (which I dont think you need anymore of).
It would also stop decks that discard key cards from your hand in their tracks...which is VERY common in modern right now. Thoughtseize and similar. Even though sieze is only B, it will stop from them doing it late game and give you a card extra each turn...since you dont need your hand during the opponents turn, I dont see any reason to not run this card.

@Devilsmage: I think Bottled Cloister makes all kinds of sense. I'll give it a go. Should I trade straight up 3 cloisters for 3 simulacrum or go 2 cloisters and bump up one of the other creatures?

I would only run 2 Bottled Cloister and I would bump up Walking Atlas by 1 more. Reason I chose atlas is that if you are drawing more cards with running 26 powerful lands in your deck, I would guess you would need to make sure you are playing them when you can. That and he fixes up one of the chump blockers you let go with the other creature coming out.

After doing some research on Bottled Cloister it has a huge flaw in it. If the bottle is destroyed or put into your hand on the opponents turn, the cards that were exiled STAY EXILED...
I am not sure if its worth that kind of risk, as that would give the game away since you would no longer have any cards in hand.

My Legacy list is almost colorless with only 4 colored spell and with only 1 nonartifact spell. It doesn't have any card-drawing abilities. Modern is weaker format than Legacy so you should be able to go without card-drawing at all.

Colossus of Akros for maybeboard, or sideboard. SO huge, really easy to get with this deck.

@JexInfinite: I never thought of Colossus of Akros . However, at cmc 8, i'd rather cast one of the eldrazi fatties if I have Eye of Ugin out. If it's out, the cmc's drop to 8, 9 and 13 respectively. If it's not out, it's not a big deal either. Mana isn't too hard to come by. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Have to say I liked your old name better. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic though.
April 11, 2014 12:10 a.m.
What was the old name again? I totally forgot. Was this the Color? Meh. one?
April 11, 2014 1 a.m.
SandyDufresne says... #18
@xzzane and Dreno33: Yeah it was color? meh. It had that name for nearly three years. I made some major changes so I thought I'd change that name. Do you think I should change it back?
April 11, 2014 1:02 a.m.
DrDoomBlade says... #19
I think you should change it back, even though at the top of the page it still calls it Color? meh. for me :3
April 13, 2014 2:26 a.m.
Glad to see it back to what it was. I like Color? Meh. so much more.

Wurmcoil Engine is the bestest, you need like 3 copies in the deck!

Awesome deck, I always wanted to build something involving the Eldrazi. One thing I'm curious though, doesn't Lodestone Golem make it harder to get out your big Eldrazi guys? Because they aren't actually artifact creatures. Maybe the 1 extra mana doesn't matter here though
April 27, 2014 1:01 p.m.
Maybe you could replace eldrazi with Wurmcoil Engine or Sundering Titan , since they're more easy to cast, don't suffer from Lodestone Golem and are also enough for winning the game. Eldrazi are just overkill.

SandyDufresne says... #25
@Rednose846: Your last sentence is the reason why I run Lodestone Golem . That and a 5/3 for 4 colorless seems to fit just right in the deck. I need to make sure that I keep the opponent in check while I get my lands out. Plus, Eye of Ugin offsets the mana increase.
SandyDufresne says... #1
If I add the Forest s and other colored cards, then the deck just becomes another Green Tron deck. I think the appeal to the deck is that it's colorless. It's what draws people it.
Is it fun to play? Absolutely. Will it when major tournament? You should bet against it but that doesn't matter. I have fun playing and building it.
