I found out that Ayli is featured in the super cool art of Curse of Wizardry! It's also featured in the flavour texts of Hand of Emrakul, Landbind Ritual, Last Kiss, Corrupted Crossroads, Consuming Sinkhole, Blinding Drone and Eldrazi Monument.

Because yes

No that isn't how it works the aformentioned Breaker of Armies is colorless not devoid but is very much Ulamog's brood and creatures like Blinding Drone and Havoc Sower are devoid but of Kozilek's lineage. The requirements to cast the eldrazi have no correlation to which titan they are a part of.

So, technically Sol Ring and Crop Rotation are illegal in Modern. If your group is cool with that, then go for it, but you might find something like Hedron Archive or Basalt Monolith to be better. Next, I highly recommend cutting down to exactly 60 cards -- that way, you'll maximize your chances of drawing your really good cards at the moment you need them. I'd start by cutting Blinding Drone and Thunderstaff.

Then, I'd do my best to increase your ramp and "stave off attacks and threats until you cast a game-ending threat" cards, while trimming down your Titans and other game-ending threats to only 5-6 cards. That will more or less ensure that you'll draw one when you need it, without getting five enormous uncastable Eldrazi tied up in your hand every game. Try keeping just Ulamog/Emmy/Winnower/Betrays/Pathrazer for starters, while cutting every other Eldrazi above 6 CMC. Then, make sure all of your lower CMC cards either keep you alive until you cast a Titan, or help you cast said Titan sooner. I also think you can cut all cards besides Deepfathom Skulker that say "can't be blocked" -- it's what's called a "win-more" condition, because making Emmy unblockable just means that your opponent takes ~3 more damage than they would have and will still lose next turn. That should free up enough slots for 4x Blisterpod, Hedron Crawler and other colorless mana sources, and maybe some control like Cancel, Pulse of Murasa, or Spell Rupture to keep you alive until you can actually cast a big Eldrazi.

Hope that helps! Best of luck. Mention me if I can help!

I play an izzet version of this deck and would like to throw some pointers.... gearhulk here seems awkward. If you had more instants i could see justifying 1 but no more than that. Eldrazi is your archetype try keepings it focused. A sleeper card many forget is the Blinding Drone...a 1/3 that can effectively stall a large creature. Also may want to look into dropping Corrupted Crossroads for Sanctum of Ugin comboing Elder Deep-Fiend into fetching a Reality Smasher for 10 damage. Also fixing your lands by removing Blighted Cataract and using more basic lands Wastes Island and 2 or 3 Evolving Wilds

Take Inventory or Catalog I feel would work. I also think Drowner of Hope could be good. Also Ruination Guide for an easier way to crew. Blinding Drone to ramp.

Use Tide Drifter over Geist of the Lonely Vigil as its way better for this deck.

The deck might be better off Blue/Colorless rather than white as its better for Eldrazi decks.

Adding some Colorless lands like Wastes, Shrine of the Forsaken Gods, Sanctum of Ugin, Ruins of Oran-Rief might be worth it over the plains.

Some cards worth considering are Dimensional Infiltrator, Mist Intruder, Ruination Guide, Warping Wail, Titan's Presence, Drowner of Hope, Eldrazi Skyspawner, Blinding Drone, Deepfathom Skulker. Most of these might be worth adding over some of your white cards.

I will edit my own blue/Colorless Eldrazi deck and share it with you later to see if you prefer something like it over a blue/white deck.

Thank you IzzetFanatic as well as ducttapedeckbox for all of the great feedback! You have given me lots of ideas to consider for improving this deck.

As to your question IzzetFanatic, No I haven't really played control or pure control before. Although I think I have seen enough to do fine with it. I started playing magic casually with a few friends about 2 to 2 (1/2) years ago close to around the time of Theros with a blue/green deck that was mostly two clash decks mashed together. I used a deck that had cards like Courser of Kruphix, Prophet of Kruphix, Arcanis the Omnipotent, Roil Elementals, along with Archetype of Endurance to protect my elementals, along with AEtherize and Explosive Vegetations.

During this time I tried out a few other casual decks and from a friend began to discover existing cards that were printed from before I started. I took a liking to sliver creatures and began to collect every one I could.

Later I began to then start playing Edh, and again I chose the same Simic colors for a Vorel of the Hull Clade commander deck and not then not long after a Sliver Overlord deck. However I never really played a control aspect with either of these. I still have these 2 decks that I'm still updating and getting the cards I need for them.

Later I started with standard, around the time of Battle for Zendikar, with a blue/colourless Eldrazi deck. Benthic Infiltrators, Mist Intruder, Blinding Drones, and a few other ingest/process cards.

Now however I have about 4 standard decks, although only 1 do I consider complete. Rakdos Vampires is my main deck, then there's my second deck closest to being done that is Green/Black eldrazi that I started ever since I seen Cryptolith Rite.

I also have tried a mono blue deck for standard although it's more casual compared to my vampires deck. Consisting of Sphinx's Tutelage, Void Shatter, Rise from the Tides, and I just got my first Thing in the Ice  ^Flip for it two days ago. This is really my first attempt at a control deck of my own although I have played against them before.

Then only about 2 months ago started modern with a budget infect deck that I'm still building and now this deck you see here.

I always seen blue as my favourite color in magic and so this is part of the reason I wanted this as a modern deck I in time wanted to build.
