Silent Arbiter looks great! Bought a copy of it as well! It'll be a great swap for Ugin's Construct.

Also picked up Vesuva, Cloudpost, Glimmerpost and Maze of Ith. Will figure out what to swap them for when they arrive.

Debating Ancient Tomb vs picking up both Scorched Ruins/Deserted Temple. Might save the last bit of my current budget to pick up a few creature swaps and save these to pick up later.

Thanks for the suggestions! I bought Dark Depths and swapped it in. Also added Thran Dynamo and Cloud Key. I already have infinite gyre and working on trading for a kozilek a friend has (I keep annihilator cards sideboarded because i play 1v1 with a friend a lot during the week and they feel abusive against 1 person) . The way Ugin's Construct is written the sacrifice effect i believe just doesn't do anything in a deck with no colors so he's basically just a 4 mana 4/5. He's one of those cards that's just in there because I don't know of a better substitute around that mana cost (lower cost to have something on the field to block with early). Still looking for any other combos to try. Also still debating the karn/mycosynth combo as Mycosynth Lattice is a bit pricey (like dark depths) and i feel like it could backfire against the wrong opponent.

Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger is interesting for his cast-effect, this deck lacks of removals,I'm actually waiting the price lowering for aquire it

Duplicant is reeeally interesting, it can remove commanders too?

I recently took off Kozilek, the Great Distortion from this deck, because, like Desolation Twin, I think that the effects are not useful enough to justify the cast cost: draw x card, ok, but Menace does not force the opponent to sac his stuff like Annihilator and can be blocked with Fog or Holy Day, The counter-effect requires the exact cc to counter stuff and this make it too situational.

Ancient Tomb and Sisay's Ring are interesting, but I don't like crypt, vault, monolith : their drawbacks seems awful.

About Synod Centurion and Ugin's Construct...yes they are simply medium creatures with honest CC.I'm thinking to some substitutes (the thing is that I'd prefer have some creatures for every mana tile), maybe Summoner's Egg can offer more interesting situations...

Kozilek, the Great Distortion, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Duplicant are very powerful creatures, i think you should play all three of them. Ugin's Construct and Synod Centurion however, are just medium sized vanilla creatures, i don't think they offer enough to justify playing them.
If you need any more ramp, i suggest Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Ancient Tomb, Basalt Monolith, Worn Powerstone and Sisay's Ring.

Eldrazi Mimic is in there just because it was in the first draft when it was eldrazi tribal. It has been removed from the final deck list but I just forgot to update that.

I can always use some good early game. I'll take those into mind. Love Ugin's Construct though. Overlooked that if you have no colored permanents then there is no draw back to it.

I enjoy seeing people playing colorless in EDH, and you have done some nice work here. Did a little playtesting and I could cast Kozilek pretty reliably by turn 6, but I wasn't able to get too many creatures out beforehand. I would recommend some cheaper artifact creatures such as Opaline Unicorn, Steel Wall, Alloy Myr, and Ugin's Construct to help you maintain board presence early game. Also, is there any reason that you are not running Eldrazi Mimic?

True. I haven't gotten this deck in paper yet, so I haven't had a chance to test Ugin's Construct yet, it's definitely on my radar. It doesn't fit with the Eldrazi theme, though.

On a different note, while looking at the colorless cards in standard I noticed Ugin's Construct. It's drawback doesn't matter for this deck and a 4-drop that can block Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Siege Rhino might be worth a look.
