This is a modern budget deck idea I had. The idea is to spend the first two turns ramping with Farseek/Birds or holding your opponent off with Fog Bank. Turn two, cast Braids or Quicksilver Amulet. You could have 1-2 unused mana after this, which you could save for Apostle's Blessing/Spell Pierce to protect Braids/Quicksilver. Turn four, put down Ulamog, It That Betrays, or Worldspine Wurm. Again, protect it with Apostle's Blessing/Spell Pierce. Then (hopefully) win.I'm not familiar with Modern meta, so I have no idea if this would be viable (I'm talking small local tournaments). Modern players, if you would consider this viable at all, how could this be improved? Obviously I could use more expensive Eldrazi/lands, but what inexpensive tweaks would you make? Perhaps my first turns could be better spent on something else rather than Farseek or Fog Bank. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I think the main problem you will have is that Braids, Conjurer Adept is a cool card, that stands out of discussion but benefits your opponent first before it can benefit you. He/She then may use it to put Ulamog, It That Betrays, or Worldspine Wurm into play by himself and after that grill her with a Lightning Bolt. Apostle's Blessing may not help you very well here depending on the stack order (opponent plays Bolt, you play Apostle's Blessing and opponent casts Path to Excile in response, Path will resolve before Apostle's Blessing and remove Braids from the game).There could/should be other ways to bring your board winner into the game without rely on Braids that much. Ramping for mana isnt the total solution here but could help you getting the game.Alternative ways to play Ulamog, It That Betrays, or Worldspine Wurm could be Proteus Staff, Polymorph or Summoner's Trap like cards or you go for primary focus onto Quicksilver Amulett because it is less impacted by removal spells in opposite to Braids.You could for example utilize the core of my Goblin Charbelcher deck to modify it to work with Quicksilver Amuletthttp://www.mtgvault.com/risendeep/decks/belcher/However, for a stable mana base with green, I would also play Utopia Sprawl. It enchants a forest to make one additional mana for {G} and I used it in a Proteus Staff deck to get Emrakul/Progenitus out on turn 3 by shifting a token
