Ramp into Eldrazi: Viable Post-Rotation?
Standard forum

OK, so I'm sure some of you have had this idea already, but hear me out on this one. I know it's really early to make a call, but I'm thinking about a post-rotation standard deck with the following: Rattleclaw Mystic, Whisperer of the Wilds, Shaman of Forgotten Ways, Surrak, the Hunt Caller, Whisperwood Elemental, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, See the Unwritten, Oblivion Sower, Forerunner of Slaughter, Eldrazi Devastator, and possibly more Eldrazi and maybe even Dragonlord Atarka or Atarka, World Render.
Thoughts? I think it would be a pretty slick Jund ramp deck. Of course we have no idea what the new Standard will look like, but it's fun to speculate!
Go!
There will probably be far better ramp spoiled in BFZ because ramping into Eldrazi is supposed to be a solid plan.

That would be pretty sweet. I'm hoping to make a reasonable transition from 
Devotion into a viable BFZ standard deck. Some of the "Eldrazi Scion" producers might be fine too

Yeah I should probably get 2 more shaman of forgotten ways and surraks before they go up in price. Already have 4 See the Unwrittens. I still prefer Esper Dragons so I hope that deck doesn't die, but my combo deck with xenagos God and Atarka world render is nasty and fun too :)

Temur would be cool, I think Jund might be better colors though due to Forerunner of Slaughter and maybe even Dragonlord Kolaghan to give the Eldrazi haste. If only Nylea, God of the Hunt wasn't about to rotate! :O
I guess Temur does give you access to countermagic, though. What's your list like?

Here's my list: Temur Eldrazi, minus the, uh, Eldrazi. Hmmm.

Oh and Nissa, Vastwood Seer Flip would probably be good as well.
