very good. Would be hugely faster with Candelabra of Tawnos in it, for the untapping/retapping of your urzatron/cloudposts...
I had a deck like this once, you have inspired me to update it! +1 by the way...

@Justarsaus: As soon as I can get some Vesuva s, I will put them in.
@Vorxis As much as I would love a few Candelabra of Tawnos ', they are a bit out of my price range.
Thanks for the +1s everyone.
Any suggestions for the sideboard?

What about Chimeric Mass ? I could cast it for the needed amount and then turn it into a creature as needed and when it's not a creature, it can't be killed by DoJ or Wrath.

Had a few hundred(yes over 290 so far) play test matches and so far ANTs and other superpowers kill this deck but for normal wallets it's pretty good. I did swap out the posts for 4x card:Mishra's Workshop and +1 to all your other lands, but that's mostly because I prefer steadier lands. card:Ashnod's Altar tends to be a dead draw, if you can get more All Is Dust s put them in.Your side-board is pretty good, but why the Contagion Engine s? I've yet to side them in but I'm not sure about it being more then a costy -1/-1 generator. I'll try it with 2 Darksteel Forge s and some keys but I won't be really into sideboard until tomorrow night at the earliest.Are the darksteel/blight 11/11s an option or no?

Wow, that is a lot of playtests. I don't think I've done that many. Anyway, I noticed while actually playing against my buddy that I needed a draw source. I had so much mana and nothing in my hand except more land. The four cards that I get from Kozilek, Butcher of Truth isn't consistent enough. I've decided to playtest Dreamstone Hedron and/or Mind Stone . It'll probably be Dreamstone Hedron over Mind Stone because I'm never really short on mana.

card:Sensei's Divining Tops, Horn of Plenty s, and/or Horn of Greed s all would work =p

Quicksand is ok in my book, can i ask y ur not runnin it?

Quicksand doesn't fit the direction I'm taking this deck. Now, if it allowed me to search my library for Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and cast him without paying his casting cost then I'd take it.

Yeah! Color is for chumps! BTW, more All Is Dust would probably be a good idea.

So... I actually bought this deck just now for use in MTGO but I added an card:Akroma's Memorial and I've played 2 extremely good games and the threat with card:Akroma's Memorial is a lot. I would recommend you put that card in here.

SandyDufresne says... #19
Yeah, I get him every now and again and I only use his -3. What did you take out for card:Akroma's Memorial?

I think I'll add Doubling Cube . Playtests are going well.

+1 for the great deck and giving me ideas for my own colorless Eldrazi Leik Mana deck.
I agree with your thoughts on Dreamstone Hedron ; card drawing and, until then, more mana is so versatile with the mana base you already have.
From experience with my colorless stuff, and especially the huge possibilities with so much mana to play with, I have a few thoughts in case you ever vary your strategy:
-Rocket Launcher and Goblin Cannon offer direct damage that opponents don't see coming, and can pull you a win in tight situations (for that function the cannon > launcher because of its quicker usage).
-If you're thinking of card:Feldon's Cane I would go with Elixir of Immortality instead for the life gain and possible re-usage.
-Depending on how your tests go with Doubling Cube , you might want to think about Spawnsire of Ulamog , whose 20 mana ability is always an imminent danger for the opponent. In my experience the Spawnsire even proves its worth as a replacement for Skittering Invasion for producing spawn tokens.
-Icy Manipulator and Voltaic Key have always served me well.
-Other than that, Brittle Effigy , Mystifying Maze , and Pit Trap for spot removal, and sideboarded Crucible of Worlds for added land destruction cushion.
Thanks for the ideas with Myr Superion /Palladium Myr , Expedition Map , Karn Liberated , and Prototype Portal !
