@Caprino: Could you list your match-ups?
Frankly, I don't like Voltaic Key with under 12 sources. You have to keep in mind that manarocks get countered and destroyed, and this deck is too tight on mana to afford non-mana producing cards. 12...
The list you linked is just Eldrazi Stompy with a minor Eye of Ugin/ramp plan to solve problems down the line. Eldrazi Stompy doesn't usually run Monolith 'cause it curves out at 5-6 and has a large...

You're however investing 1 extra card and 2 mana upfront before filtering takes place thus essentially putting you one card behind. You'll have to ask yourself if you would rather draw this than a...
"five or more different converted mana costs", so you have to exile 5 with different CMC. E.g. exile a 0 mana spell (land, Chalice, etc.), a 1 mana spell (Voltaic Key & al.), a 2 mana spell (Grim...

I don't necessarily see that as a problem point. I've run Needles and Chalices in the same deck before; vs. Loam-decks might prefer Chalice at 2 anyways and vs. many of the control-decks you're in...
