New here, so thanks in advance for the help. I've been out of the Magic scene for a few years now and recently got back into it. I've built a few decks since returning and updated most of my old deck lists with newer cards that work better. I've also discovered the seemingly (and so far proving to be) overpowered Eldrazi that came out during my absence. I've built a fairly successful mono green/Eldrazi deck but have run into a slight problem of having too much mana in games that last a little longer than anticipated. I'm looking for s couple good spells that can suck up large amounts of mana. I was thinking something like Riptide Replicator or Stream of Life, but am more than open to any suggestions. By the time this begins to be a problem, my creature base is fine, so I'm not looking at Green Sun's Zenith.
I don't wish to remove much of the mana producers/lands as they are extremely useful early in game to get out the giant Eldrazi.If I can't find something to fit my situation that's green, I'll probably end up throwing some red into the mix and adding some burn spells.
Hope that all made sense to everyone.
Thanks again

Perhaps something like Primal Surge or Overwhelming Stampede ?

Presumably if you are thinking of adding red you are looking to deal more damage rather than gain life. The only card I can think of at the moment in green is Tribal Unity . It has X in it's cost so it can suck up all the mana you want but I believe it will pump any "eldrazi spawn" you have on the battlefield.
You will likely get better help if you post a decklist on the site so people can see exactly what you are working with. Good luck.
