I took a look at your deck and I was curious if you run into issues with weenie builds or agro decks as it seems the game play is really skewed at the back end of the mana curve. With that being said one thing that i can suggest that might help this right off the back is the tolarian academy. It should give you a mana boost with all the artifacts you play in the deck, and with it being a blue deck to begin with even if you have only one artifact in play it should go a ways to giving you mana for any of your spells. As far as the bottom portion of the mana curve have you looked at pingers like zuran spellcaster or prodigal sorcerers, a different tact might be something like flying men or yet another way to go about it might be giant oysters. Just thought these things might buy you some time if your having trouble getting to be able to get your eldrazi's out.

I don't run into many mana issues with my deck alot of the times I have the big boys out in turn 4 or 5. Plus i'm lucky the people that I play with all have decks similar to mine. So everything is pretty much even. The eldrazi deck isn't my only, if i play people with weenie decks I just bring out my soldiers and that shuts them up. I have considered tho putting a couple of energy fields in my deck just in case it decides to give me problems, at least it will keep attackers at bay for a little bit giving me a chance to cast the big ones, unless I have to play a counterspell, which happens alot

IDK I guess you could do it that way. Lol i got six different decks i use, so who am I to say that you can't use different decks for different situations. On the other hand, I try to build a deck that can handle all of these situations so, if you can speed up your mana curve in the CC2 and CC3 space why not right? In any event here are a few more ideas i had.
1) I saw your Time Stretch card, and i wanted to fall out of my seat, two extra turns!!! My buddy has a blue deck which i absolutely hate, hence why many of my decks were built to just compete against his fricken monstrosity! In any event, back to my main point, he has a card called Time Warp, which ironically he found in my massive collection of cards that i now actually went out, rebought and use now (aren't i a nice guy!)which i think will suffice. Its only one extra turn, but the way i look at it, for five mana, you have a much better chance of pulling the trigger with it, and lets face it, theres rarely a time where I'm still alive after an opponent has two turns in a row, let alone three! If you want you can also work a recall into the mix. This is versatile because not only will it let you go get your extra turn card again, if you need something else in your graveyard, it will give you access to that as well! If your looking at newer blocks of cards, you can always look at temporal mastery (i think thats the name of the card), its about the same cost as time warp, but for its miracle cost, its almost as good as the original extra turn card, time walk!
2) On the land side, throw in another eldrazi temple, and perhaps look at a set of urza or two? (urza tower, urza mine, urza powerplant)
Hope this helps!

I love my time stretch, my record with this card is 6 turns in a row, people usually concede by then cause emrakul is usually coming out to make it 7 turns. I got alot of ideas from my husbands mono blue deck which is a pain in the ass. Its listed here too, tho he has some adjustments to add. I play with a different array of decks, I have 10 myself. I'm more of a black and white deck player, but love my eldrazi. Thanks for your suggestions i'll definitely look into them. And eldrazi temple is one I should definitely have another of.
