Basically, if you have all the pieces in place, you win on the turn you bring out freed from the real.
I don't know if you've actually tried this out in real life, but the concept for the deck is truly stupendous!
Excellent Work!

My only suggestion for this deck would be Tempered Steel. It would work nicely with powering up your creatures and I would suggest taking out the Silver and Gold Myrs. They do nicely to boost mana, but that's really all you'd use them for. Unless you used Steel Overseer to power them up, greatly.

Interesting concept. The Lifeloss and Lifegain aspects are fascinating. My only question is for the Orzhov Charms. Are they purely for killing creatures and you losing life equal to toughness?
Also, good job on the infinite lifegain/lifeloss combo with Exquisite Blood and Vizkopa Guildmage.

You have to be extremely lucky to make this deck run properly. Like the idea, but seems so risky.

If you have any suggestions for this deck, please tell me. I'm always excited to hear what people have to say about my decks and what they would do to improve upon them.

I know a card that'll stop all damage and gain you 1 life per damage prevented. Chant Of Vitu Ghazi. OH! Ethereal Haze should work. It prevents all damage that would be dealt by creatures this turn. Since Pestilence isn't a creature, you should be good. I hope that's something close to what you're looking for.

So I've completed the deck, and for all the cards I spent around 36 dollars. Some cards were given to me by friends.
Anyway, so I've tried the deck out in a multiman brawl. Very bad idea. I mean, I won, but that's not the point. Since I had to focus on multiple targets, it was very slow struggle and I couldn't focus on things as much as I wanted to. The deck was built for a one on one fight, but in multiman brawls, it gets sluggish and runs out of steam pretty quickly.
I still enjoy it though.

No, you're right. I'm an idiot who didn't read Pestilence correctly. I didn't see that it was a pay ability, I thought it was a at the end of turn thing. Nvm. Excellent strategy. Superb deck!

I like the idea behind this deck, but how exactly do you win with it?
Maybe I'm being a little thick or not seeing something here, but are you planning on simply doing 1 damage to every player until they scoop or die? Also, what if they're using a lifegain or, God forbid, flyers. I see no protection from flyers or something that would severely damage the opponent enough for you to actually pull out a win.

Have you considered Elite Arcanist? I believe he isn't that expensive, and for what you're trying to do, he may prove useful to you.

Interesting deck. You should look at the card, Render Silent. Should go great in this deck. Overrule or Fall Of The Gavel could also be fun for this deck. Great deck!

Honestly, it's so odd to me. I love the idea. I love seeing something new or seeing something I know with a new twist on it. Its one of the main reasons I come to this site. Good work on making my head spin when I gave it a first look.
As for suggestions, have you considered Azorius Elocutors? With all the upkeeps you'll be getting, it should be an easy card to squeeze into the deck. A few w/b/u control cards should also keep opponents off your back. Redirects or Render Silent should keep them off your back and maybe even stall for the time you need.
Gitaxian Probe is a fun card. I run several in my draw deck. But, I simply don't understand why you don't just take out the cards you don't need, such as Street Wraith, and put in cards you'd actually want, or add a draw effect to the deck so that you can actually pull what you need, instead of having to discard a card and lose two life to simply draw a card.
I understand the whole instant speed draw effect, but I'm sure you could find other cards that'll be easier and not cost you life, or if it does, at least it wouldn't be in the deck for no reason.

So I love the idea behind this deck! Brilliant really. Paradox Haze with Chronozoa! Great idea!
My only issue is what's the win scenario for this deck? Do you overrun them with Chronozoas? And why do you have Street Wraith in the deck? I see he has Swampwalk and Cycling, but I don't see any other points of him actually being in the deck at all. Maybe I'm missing something.

Alright, if you actually use Elspeth's other abilities, then the deck looks fine. Great work on making a fully functioning exalted deck. Let me know how it plays when you get to use it next.

They didn't start out that way, but they realized they died faster when they gathered aggro on themselves. "I have this really big creature" or "I have this army that'll wipe you out!" Usually, they'd kill one of us and then we'd all gather together and kill them. Now, we had a game where someone could've killed all of us, but didn't because he was worried about the aggro. I thought it was hilarious.

The mana looks like it'll work to me.
The only thing I have a question with now, and I think I know the answer, but I'm going to ask anyway, is why is Elspeth in the deck? Is it because of her final ability? Make things indestructible? If that's the case, then I wouldn't keep her in the deck. If not and you actually use her for other things, such as boosting a creature +3/+3 and giving it flying for a turn or putting out tokens then I'd keep her in.
If the deck isn't exactly centered around a planeswalker, then the planeswalker has a tendency to get in the way and mess up the flow of the deck. I'm not saying that's always the case, but in my experience it's happened. A lot.

So... I love this deck. I love this colour combination. It truly gives you the most control in the game. The one thing I don't see however, is a full-proof win strategy. I see that you have Tezzeret so you can get someone's lifepoints down, but is that really your only win strategy?
I would look into a darksteel forge and a few tempered steels.
Also, no Arcane Sanctums? Really? Come on man. Remember the Fallen, Dispense Justice, and Stoic Rebuttal. All good artifact spells.
And Darsteel/Blightsteel Colossus, because why not. Good ploy cards if anything. Distracts from other things.

The whole deck was a challenge to myself to see if I could pull off something as ridiculous as a blue Eldrazi deck. I imagine I could make the deck work faster, but what's the fun in that? This deck will only see casual play, and most of my play group is passive so they'll let me have my eldrazi out and then be annoyed when I kill them with it.

I see your point, and literally, the only reason I'm keeping it is because he loves it and demanded that I keep it in the deck. I think it'll work out with two metamorphs. Thank you for all the help!
