Reworked version of my Eldrazi Barrage deck with new Oath of the Gatewatch cards. Big thanks to my friend for his help and would appreciate any comments! This is essentially a budget build, although I'm not sure how expensive it will be once the cards actually come out.

So the big player in the last deck was Forerunner of Slaughter , but its now Bearer of Silence and Visions of Brutality which now even further enable me to hit hard while hitting fast! I have a lot of ideas for the deck after rotation, but for now Trumpet Blast is even better than Swarm Surge thanks to the inclusion of Flayer Drone which can synergize beautifully with hangerback walker (which I would totally put more in the deck, but the price isn't exactly right at the moment). Further, Ruins of Oran-Rief can be shockingly good with Reaver Drone which, as a cheap eldrazi that I can tack on Ghostfire Blade to, is immensely helpful. Also Crater's Claws is great because the before mentioned Ghostfire Blade has a surprisingly good habit of triggering Ferocious.

1/18/2016 Edit: Same friend who pointed out the Trumpet Blast card also revealed to me the nonbo of Bearer of Silence and Visions of Brutality as pointed out by razelfark in the comments. While that is unfortunate I still want a way to disable blockers so I am even considering things like Sparkmage's Gambit and would still appreciate any advice. Honestly though, I guess I also kinda hope I can Bearer of Silence and then Visions of Brutality because I like the card so much. Thank you!

2nd Edit: Trying out Ruinous Path in place of the Visions of Brutality . Just hate pulling the visions early game. Also pulling a Crater's Claws for another Flayer Drone . Ditto for Trumpet Blast and Forerunner of Slaughter .

3/3/2015 3rd Edit: Ruins of Orian-Reef and Mortuary Mire did not help much in the actual Standard Tournament. Opted for another Smoldering Marsh and replacing the Ruins with Blighted Gorge as well as the Tomb of the Spirit Dragon

4th Edit: Because of the great ability of a counter on my colorless creatures I put two Ruins back in at the urging of a friend, and lowered the gorge to a two of in the deck.
