Thanks! :) and I actually built this before realizing that Tron was often R/G sooo...colorless cause Eldrazi and artifacts and...it just made sense haha. So that's that, however, this is a deck I'll never make due to the price tag but it's fun to design it anyways. Glad someone liked it though! that means it's a success!

something I see with explosive potential is Everflowing Chalice .
For 4 mana, add 2.
For 8 mana, add 4.
For 10 mana, add 5.
So with this you can literally dump all your mana (even amount) into it once you drop the lands you had in your hand to help you cast the eldrazi next turn. I feel its potential, but wouldn't know of which spot to put it in.

Hey I really like that idea and I think it'll replace Not of This World in the mainboard, possibly trying to squeeze in one or two more. I'll throw the leftovers of a playset into the sideboard cause I have no idea how to sideboard with this deck. Do you have any suggestions for that? (by the way that question goes out to everyone)
Thanks! I've decided this deck's purpose is to digitally sit here and just be awesome. And apparently it's doing that well so thanks for the encouragement!
And of course thanks to every who +1'd!

Also changed the mana base
-2 Vesuva -Because it's the only option left to cut (gotta have all ma Urzas and Locus)
-2 Eye of Ugin -Doesn't help casting non-eldrazi, I don't cast more than one Eldrazi a turn in play testing, and there's 14 finishers backed by some deck thinning and draw
-4 Eldrazi Temple -Because it was the most expendable land I had and if I add the locus I want as many as possible
+4 Glimmerpost -Decent lifegain (hopefully, we'll see what happens)
+4 Cloudpost -Presumably better ramp, playtesting will tell
What do you guys think?

well look at modern colorless staples for sideboard options to begin with.
Spellskite - stops SO many decks it is ridiculously annoying. I run a hex chant deck and cry when i see it, personally.
Relic of Progenitus and/ or Tormod's Crypt and also Grafdigger's Cage - graveyard hate, works great against POD and snap caster control, too.
Surgical Extraction Combo, Tron, graveyard dependent decks
Dismember - kill a 5/5 for 4 life and 1 mana. super good removal which you lack
Torpor Orb - no explanation needed (yes hurts you, but not the annihilator or fat P/T)
Batterskull - against burn and aggro you may want to SB this baby in to start dropping threats sooner. I would even consider dropping a few bigger threats for a few mid-range threats to always have a board presence. just a thought.
Pithing Needle ? possibly, not too sure but depends on your meta i guess. definitely could be an all-star where you play though. But be knowledgable before you decide to add or not.
Chalice of the Void - you run bigger cards and this can wipe out Burn, Eggs, and Infect for starters. LOTS of potential
Hope that helps! (:

Dreno33 I'm currently working on working in your suggestions and can Spellskite draw counterspells at it even thought it's an illegitimate target?

Hm...I really outta pay more attention to that banned list I guess. I guess I'll go back to my other mana base. Thaks for pointing that out Lame_Duck

You should add Not of This World or Spawnsire of Ulamog

MyPreciousGollum, Not of This World is already in the sideboard and Spawnsire of Ulamog seems like too much of a mana commitment. Even for this deck is a lot, but I'll test it out and see what happens

Im getting that if you can't get the Urza lands on-line the plan is pretty much fubar?....Since theres not control or discard present to stall your opponent.

komp, yes so that's why I'm trying to find more efficient mana rocks
December 6, 2014 10:06 p.m.
I love the idea of it thats for sure and really hope we see the Eldrazi in standard again soon. In all honesty green would be the most efficient way to ramp but not very good at controlling/stalling your opponent so I would stick to the blue, just try to stall stall staaaaalllll your opponent till those annihilator abilities kick in and get rid of what every got past your control and then BAM game over. This deck is a great endeavor and I really like when people play with these Eldrazi decks.

komp, I see what you mean so I'll probably get around to splashing blue (or green). But it'll be a while, I'm more focused on decks I'm actually building :p this is more like the thought-experiment equivalent of a deck.
CharlesMandore...how familiar are you with Modern?
December 15, 2014 11:32 p.m.
Hickorysbane says... #21
CharlesMandore, ah okay :p Modern only goes back to Eighth Edition. Sol Ring was printed before then and so can't be used in modern decks. It has been reprinted since then, but only in sets like commander. Modern only counts cards printed in core sets and the regular blocks, and only ones after Eighth Edition.
Here is some more information is you want it.

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon might be a fun replacement for Karn Liberated both in terms of utility and flavor :)
