My first time to ever play the game was at the Battle For Zendikar Pre-release Midnight Magic event at Greater Memphis Magic Arena in TN. And one of the first cards I pulled in the event deck was Ulamog, The Ceaseless Hunger. And my first thought was wow I have got to figure out a way to use him in play as unrealistic as it seemed to me. So I spent some time and tried out a few combinations and set on Green/Blue. And I wanted it to be consistent so I provided some other high power Eldrazi to help bring Ulamog out. At my most recent FNM I won four rounds in a row, never had a game three in any round, and summoned Ulamog five out of the eight games I played. I was extremely happy with it.
Basically all of my 1-5 mana cost creatures excluding Guardian Automaton bring out at least one Eldrazi Scion token which is good as a chump blocker apart from being an excellent source of steady mana. My three biggest staples are Salvage Drone, Eldrazi Skypawner, and Tightening Coils. All very cheap but so effective. Salvage Drone gives me the ingest effect which is required for the ultimate success of this deck. It triggers the ability to pump out tokens which helps to get out the Eldrazi like Conduit of Ruin which lets me snag Ulamog from the deck, and pay 8 mana for him next turn instead of 10 which makes him much more readily available at a decent time to win you the game no problem. I love to play control clearly even though I have more creatures than most control decks. And Tightening Coils allows me to take out most any kind of threat without triggering any abilities a creature has when it goes to the graveyard. And if they want to get rid of it they gotta waste some mana. And this deck doesn't waste mana so there's a huge upper hand. The instants provide back up for my weaker tokens and cause the opponent to waste mana yet again to re-play their creatures while I use Ugin's Insight or Anticipate to draw everything I need to end the game.

That is a lot of one of's. Is your deck really good when consistent, or is your local meta really bad?

Its actually almost always good especially with consistency. I'm not ever afraid to mulligan if I have to simply because my mana jumps ahead so quickly with all the token triggers and stuff. And I don't normally rely on Ulamog to win it, with all the other powerful eldrazi they normally can get it done on their own. I have run this deck differently a few times where I actually had three conduit of ruins to increase the chances of using Ulamog even more. But so far I haven't had any problems. If I had to change my sideboard I would probably add two more Conduit Ruins, and another Bane and Ruin Processor.
And I hope the first part didn't sound rude wasn't meant to be!
I would take out some of the cards you don't need and add cards that you really like, so that the deck runs more smoothly. Sorry if I sounded rude too.
I re-organized everything and spent some time today play testing with a friend. And the deck is much more consistent now even against an aggressive deck and a control deck that can potentially slow down my strategy. (6 games total won all but one)
I like it!
Thank you I have found this combination to work much much better! And the extra Conduit Ruin doubled the occurrence of being able to use Ulamog. And I'm confident it will do well at FNM tonight as well!
