Tezzeret's GambitMTG Card: Tezzeret's Gambit can be cast for colorless and it is pretty ridiculous with Modular, especially if you already have 3 or 4 creatures with counters on them before you cast it.

All Is DustMTG Card: All Is Dust is pretty funny in all-colorless decks.

Every time I test this deck I keep getting to the point were I have no cards in hand and about 15 mana every turn. I guess I'll fill this deck with some fat colorless creatures.

There's no reason you can't be hard casting eldrazi gods like Emrakul, the Aeons TornMTG Card: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Also I'd get those Wurmcoil EngineMTG Card: Wurmcoil Engines in there for sure. It's too good of a card not to include. I'd probably drop the Platinum EmperionMTG Card: Platinum Emperions for them.

An alternate win condition you can consider that pairs up amazingly with Darksteel PlateMTG Card: Darksteel Plate is WorldslayerMTG Card: Worldslayer funny enough. Get that creature through once and its almost impossible to recover. Maybe find room for OrnithopterMTG Card: Ornithopter or Signal PestMTG Card: Signal Pest to add some evasion to the equasion? Oh if you really like the platinum creatures a Platinum AngelMTG Card: Platinum Angel is perfect.

I dunno.. I don't really feel like you're putting the insane mana accel that tron offers to use by dropping modular creatures. In my eyes this is a deck that is designed to drop the fattest of the fatties as fast as it can manage.It That BetraysMTG Card: It That Betrays is absolutely cruel if you're running a more annihilator based deck. Blightsteel ColossusMTG Card: Blightsteel Colossus would be near impossible to stop. Then to help ensure they stay out when you draw into them play SpellskiteMTG Card: Spellskite to draw away Oblivion RingMTG Card: Oblivion Rings and other forms of exile.

If you want you could add a bit of black and/or blue to toss in Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas MTG Card: Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas or Tezzeret the SeekerMTG Card: Tezzeret the Seeker they both act as card draw essentially and the agent is a great late game bomb in this type of deck, even as a sideboard option

Darksteel ColossusMTG Card: Darksteel Colossus and Emrakul, the Aeons TornMTG Card: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn need to be thrown in here as well.

You could probably drop WorldslayerMTG Card: Worldslayer & Darksteel PlateMTG Card: Darksteel Plate (or at least 2 fewer plates), for more Eldrazi ConscriptionMTG Card: Eldrazi Conscription and All Is DustMTG Card: All Is Dust. Also, drop a Buried RuinMTG Card: Buried Ruin for an Eye of UginMTG Card: Eye of Ugin. Also, you could call it something like The Cruelty of the Elder Gods. +1

Ok, I added two Eye of UginMTG Card: Eye of Ugin. I'm not going to add Darksteel CitadelMTG Card: Darksteel Citadel, because he doesn't really add anything to this deck accept another artifact card. Which I don't need since I'm not trying to take advantage of the amount of artifacts on the field.

@Theophilus I really need those Buried RuinMTG Card: Buried Ruins so I can fish my Expedition MapMTG Card: Expedition Map out of the graveyard for multiple uses. Eldrazi ConscriptionMTG Card: Eldrazi Conscription on Darksteel MyrMTG Card: Darksteel Myr is too good. Also, great name! I shall us it.

March 18, 2012 8:13 p.m.

Yoshiman says... #14

hmmm, Darksteel ColossusMTG Card: Darksteel Colossus is a one drop and Emrakul, the Aeons TornMTG Card: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is a two drop. I'm lost.

March 18, 2012 8:15 p.m.

Theophilus says... #15

Ah, yes, didn't realize that. This deck is pure win, the only problem I had was turn 4 I had the mana to drop a fatty or a conscription, but I had none in hand. Also, I'm throwing a friend request at you because your decks are crushingly good and I want notifications when you build.

March 18, 2012 8:35 p.m.

Theophilus says... #16

BUT, Eye of Ugin will help with that.

Yoshiman says... #17

Thanks! I've only been playing magic for seven months now. I think I'm just on a lucky streak with decks right now. The most important thing for me is to build original decks. Though I'm not sure if anyone has come up with a similar deck. I just hate building something that has already been done, because I feel like I'm stealing. I can't wait until I get some money saved up so I can buy these Modern decks that I've been flooding this site with. I tried to play standard, but it doesn't let me build the decks I want.

Yoshiman says... #18

The thing that get me in this deck is how consistent the ramp is. It's only possible with Buried RuinMTG Card: Buried Ruin and Expedition MapMTG Card: Expedition Map. Otherwise, I would be manascrewed all the time.

Theophilus says... #19

Just seven months, huh? You're quite good for seven months. I've loved most of the decks you've posted deck:no-one-wants-to-play-with-me is great. I've still got just 16 ways to drop something scary...perhaps one or two more Eldrazi; like maybe Kozilek, Butcher of TruthMTG Card: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or Ulamog, the Infinite GyreMTG Card: Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre? or you could do Skittering InvasionMTG Card: Skittering Invasion for blockers since mana isn's a problem, but you need little blockers. I just hit up Gatherer, did you look at Eldrazi TempleMTG Card: Eldrazi Temple for mana?

Sorry for the rant. This isn't a very coherent or integrated collection of statements.

I think Eye of UginMTG Card: Eye of Ugin is just better than Eldrazi TempleMTG Card: Eldrazi Temple and I think that is the only card I would be willing to trade for it. My mana base is getting very close to a finished product.

March 18, 2012 9:10 p.m.

Theophilus says... #21

Fair enough. Your Urza lands are already more efficient than the temple would be. I'mma retest this.

March 18, 2012 9:16 p.m.

Yoshiman says... #22

XD I've tested this deck about a thousand times now. It makes me laugh.

March 18, 2012 9:22 p.m.

Theophilus says... #23

Are you playing it anywhere? Spawnsire of UlamogMTG Card: Spawnsire of Ulamog would be good with a sideboard of Eldrazi. Win at ALL the FNM!

March 18, 2012 9:29 p.m.

Yoshiman says... #24

Nope. I currently don't have the money to buy this deck yet. And the current job I have keeps me from going to FNM since the only time I have off is from 8am to 1pm. Makes me sad.

Spawnsire of UlamogMTG Card: Spawnsire of Ulamog... Interesting, might have to build a deck for this.

March 18, 2012 9:33 p.m.

Yoshiman says... #25

my opponents would get really sad if they saw me actually hard cast his last ability.
