obelisk of urd won't be standard in a week, and aside from that you are only working with one set, this concept might work in a limited format, but for a competitive standard you'll want to include other sets

The issue about these creatures is that you may be ingesting them but you're not making use of the ingest mechanic by incorporating processors that interact with their exile pile. A solution I may suggest is perhaps throwing an Oblivion Sower to ramp up lands for a Desolation Twin or try Blight Herder for more tokens or chum blockers. In my honest opinion, most of the blue Eldrazi and/or B/U Eldrazi are intended for tempo play. However, I am not discounting the idea of a B/U aggro deck either, Benthic Infiltrator, Silent Skimmer, Dominator Drone are all stars of the show but what you've come up with is heading into the Tempo strategy.

*Correction, I see you have processors. Just go for Tempo!

I thought about useing Blight Herder I just feel thatit's ti expensive for the deck which all ready hasone or two five drops in it and little to no manna ramp.

That's a good point but oblivion sower would still help with your land problems.

the problem there is that's still; a six cost for a chance at a good pay out. granted he's a 5/8 comboed with Ruination Guide would be a beast to deal with but at that point i think i'de rather have somthing like Ruin Processor it cost one more but is a 7/8 and heals me for 5

It's a bit of a debate really, I've just learnt to accustom myself to green traditions. Anything that gets you more mana is great xD

I am currently in your position however, wanting to learn and all. Here's mine.

would drop salvage drone for slufge crawler same price same power and touness but the crawler can be buffed for to mana for iether more damage or servivability

Haha, it depends really~ for me, Salvage drone is just great because it's a chump blocker as well as card draw.
October 4, 2015 8:08 p.m.
yea but Sludge Crawler can become more themn a chump blocker leting you come out ahead in the trade

How about 4x Ghostfire Blade it's like it was custom made for the Eldrazi.
