This deck is built around Azor's Gateway  . The three things we need to do to flip it are tap it, exile a Different converted mana cost, and have enough life for it to matter. Tribute Mage is one of the best ways to get the gateway to our hand, but Glint-Nest Crane can do in a pinch.

The amount of artifact removal available in the format is ridiculous so we have Scrap Trawler to bring gateways back to our hand, and Elixir of Immortality to move any gateways we might have in our graveyard back to the library so we can tutor them back to our hand. Elixir of Immortality is especially good b/c we gain five life when we sac it which is basically an additional five mana. I needed to add a fair amount of control to slow down aggro, and stop combo.

We are playing a total of 5 different eldrazi finishers b/c playing different ones helps us get some variation in mana cost. now you might be looking at the deck and thinking that it is a bit too slow, since it will take at least seven turns to flip Azor's Gateway   right? well all you have to do to activate the gateway is spend 1 mana and tap it, so if you untap it with Voltaic Key you will be able to exile two cards per turn. That speeds you up to flipping on the fifth turn, dropping huge eldrazi (on the same turn due to 15+ mana), and wrapping it up 8-9.

Suggestions are welcome and thanks for checking out my deck!
