I've had it suggested that Wurmcoil Engine is a must-have for this deck. I'm not quite sure what it gets me that the Eldrazi don't, especially considering that Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temple work on them.Also, are Chromatic Star, Chromatic Sphere, and Ancient Stirrings worth replacing something?Also, also, Karn Liberated seems like he'd just get immediately destroyed, considering that I don't usually have creatures up until late game. (I also never got around to casting him in playtesting, so I don't know how effective he'd be)

Yeah, that is a hard choice. All is Dust has saved my bacon so many times... It's great removal if you've got Eye of Ugin because then it only costs 5 and it even gets rid of indestructible and hexproof permanents. I think if I had to replace anything, I'd replace Walking Atlas. I don't get much play out of him.
Hmm... I added Lightning Greaves to my sideboard. That's pretty much like Mask of Avacyn or Whispersilk Cloak, except cheaper. I don't ever target my creatures, so to me shroud is the same as hexproof. Removing stuff is so hard!
I've discovered that this deck is really terrible against most control decks and some combo decks. I'd love suggestions on how to disrupt them without having to splash any colors!
Really? I've never been in a situation where I've got enough mana to cast Artisan and also had another Eldrazi in the graveyard. What do you suggest that I remove in favor of Artisan?
Thanks! I've removed 2 Spawnsire of Ulamog (I never end up using eldrazi spawn tokens) and 2 Artisan of Kozilek (I pretty much always prefer Kozilek for 1 more or Ulamog's Crusher for 1 less)
I can't decide if Walking Atlas would be a good addition to this deck. Any opinions?
You've got an awful lot of burn, but not enough control to warrant going completely creatureless. You're going to get wrecked by a deck like Zombie Hunt http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/bu-zombie-hunt/ simply because you can't keep up with the massive number of creatures coming at you. My suggestion is to add some artifact/enchantment removal and perhaps something like thoughtsieze.All of the above advice might be crap. I barely know what I'm doing.
