Creature centric deck that tries to generate lots of value from 'enters the battlefield' triggers. While not very explosive, the deck can grind opponents out with cards like Aura Shards, Panharmonicon, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Reveillark.
The game is usually won via combo: Peregrine Drake and either Eternal Witness or Archaeomancer are blinked by Ghostly Flicker, Displace or Illusionist's Stratagem, using the resulting triggers to return the flicker card to hand and generate mana. After producing infinite mana with this loop, one of various cantrip creatures can be flickered instead of the Drake in order to find Thought-Knot Seer (with no colorless land on the board, use Baral's Expertise to get it into play) and some back-up countermagic. Now just flicker the Eldrazi a lot to deck your opponents. (Do all the flickering with the Thought-Knot Seer draw triggers accumulating on the stack, then let them resolve all at once, so it doesn't matter if they draw removal or countermagic. They need something like Time Stop in order to interact at this point, and you should have countermagic ready for that.)
Infinite mana can alternatively be generated with Panharmonicon, Felidar Guardian and Restoration Angel: The creatures flicker eachother infinitely and the Felidar's second trigger untaps a land.
Should Thought-Knot Seer not be available, you can lock your opponents with Sun Titan returning Strip Mine a couple of times, or generate an arbitrary amount of power with Spike Weaver transferring counters before being flickered. Seraph Sanctuary can generate infinite life, but commander damage is still a factor at that point.
