At GP Columbus. Made day 2 at x-3 with my list very close to @Barook list
Bye
2-0 jund
2-0 maverick
1-2 shard less
2-1 reanimator
1-2 elves
2-1 mirror
2-0 infect
0-2 lands
I punted against elves pretty hard. I punted vs elves at a legacy iq last week. Goal is not to punt to them today.
Will do a full report later, one scenario I must mention now though:
Game 2 vs reanimator I keep a loose hand of 6 lands, 1 being Karakas, scry saw macabre so screw it play eye and pass. He reanimated stormtide leviathan turn 1. Get a displacer out and keep him tapped down for a good while. Get urborg, cast macabre, win with macabre beats
He has a highly theoretical chance (at least without seeing his tiebreakers) where he could make it if all the top 6 tables play, and either table 7 or table 8 ends up with a draw. But yeah, chances are he'll fall a game short. That deck is definitely something to consider though; perhaps there's room for further tinkering but it's certainly a great midrange brew.

He finished 54th, 33 points and 0.6582 breakers.
I strongly doubt the possible gain from "EldraziStax" take since i barely see the upside of mixing those 2 strategys. You somewhat loose the hyper-aggressive Eldrazi Style that just "happens" to throw some disruption along and neither can you pull the full lockdown mode Stax tries to go for.
Maybe i have to test the list, but from reading it, seeing the streamed games as well as the deck tech, i dont think its a reliable strategy and in no way is it belonging into "Eldrazi Stompy" (aka the Tier1 breed).
Anyhow, aside from that rather critical evaluation, i think its a pretty deck and is surely to offer to a lot of fun when you pilot it (i just would not pick it up over EldraziStompy or categorize it in this archetype)
Dont get this wrong - i admire the creativity and love to see someone shipping aside the main stream - i just dont think its even close to being a real contester power-wise.
im not a hater. but i think that build looks horrendous

Are any Eldrazi decks still in contention for Top 8 in Columbus?
Edit: Columbus is also Eldrazi-free in the Top 8
Barely any Eldrazis in top 32 as well. And when there was, it was colorless... I don't get it. Displacers didn't make it, even though it is very strong.
About the staxx drazi player - I think its not a good deck, very meta dependant.
I Went top 32 ( 32'ed to be exact. ) in GP prague with a colorless build.
My matchups where:
Day1
R1 - 0-2 Grixis
R2 - 2-0 Turbo depths
R3 - 2-0 Dark maverick
R4 - 2-1 Grixis
R5 - 2-0 Burn
R6 - 1-2 Aggro Loam
R7 - 2-0 Alluren
R8 - 0-2 Tezzerator / helm combo control thing something
R9 - 2-0 Dredge
Day2
R10 - 2-1 Omnitell
R11 - 2-0 Omnitell
R12 - 2-0 Storm
R13 - 2-0 Grixis
R14 - 2-0 Bug delver
R15 - 2-0 Miracles
It was the second time I played eldrazi in a tournament, and the first time I played a big GP.
So I was rather nervous and made a lot of mistakes.
The first match against grixis was really sad and played really bad because I was nervous. Should be able to win this easily.
The Aggro loam match I Should have drawn We where in time he was at 7 I was at 7, I had an active endbringer. It was his second to last turn, and he passed to my last turn.
I'm happy cause I think I won cause I can tutor up a reality smasher hit him, kill him, or something. details are a bit foggy of board state. Anyway, I take two damage from tomb. And yes, I totally forgot about punishing fire. Stupid.
Cause with the life gains he would have needed to give me I would have just been out of burn rate.
The loss against tezzerator was really nothing to be done against. That deck just crushes drazi.
All in all, I think the colorless build is the best one and a more experienced player in my position would have made top 16 easily and possibly top 8.

I'm the other guy ^^.

The one at the bottom.
So I had revokers, thorn's, wails and endbringer maindeck to combat them.
Combined with a full playset of wastelands makes this matchup much easier then I expected it to be. Cause I thought it was one of drazi's worser matchups.
How good do you all think are Chalice of the Void and Thorn of Amethyst versus Shardless BuG?
+ Chalice@1 hits: Brainstorm, Deathrite
+ Chalice@0 hits: Ancestral Visions (maybe also your own Lotus Petal)
- But they can just Decay the chalice.
+ Thorn virtually adds (1) to Shardless Agent, since your opponent will have to leave a mana open in case he flips a noncreature spell.
+ Thorn adds (1) to play Visions from suspension
- But it also hinders your own Warping Wail (that are crucial versus Baleful Strix, Deathrite Shaman and at countering all those Sorcery's they play)
- It also hinders your All is Dust (which is why i am down to 1 in the SB currently)
What are your thoughts here?
I currently try to just cut the 4 Chalice 4 Displacer and replace them with 4 Needle 2 Spatial 1 Dust 1 Thorn. The idea here beeing to Needle Wasteland/Liliana/Deathrite (in that order), to have extra removal via Spatial for Strix (such a bummer) / Deahtrite and Agents and 1 All is dust to just have a way to reset the board. I would love to also include the 2 Sower+1 Ulamog package, but i dont think Shardless grants you enough time to actually pull that stunt in many games (allthough more often than not boards are stalled). I just would not know what else to cut there
For reference, here is my current list:
4 Endless One
4 Eldrazi Mimic
4 Eldrazi Displacer
4 Thought-Knot Seer
4 Reality Smasher
3 Eldrazi Obligator
4 Lotus Petal
4 Chalice of the Void
3 Warping Wail
2 Thorn of Amethyst
3 Eye of Ugin
3 City of Traitors
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Eldrazi Temple
4 Cavern of Souls
4 Corrupted Crossroads
1 Battlefield Forge
1 Sea Gate Wreckage
Sideboard
3 Faerie Macabre
4 Pithing Needle
2 Spatial Contortion
1 All is Dust
1 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger
1 Ratchet Bomb
2 Oblivion Sower
yes that list makes a lot more sense to me :). i also pondered about the contortion instead of dismember. it seems great vs delver. dont you think it is annoying that you cant kill goyf most of the times ? im quite surprised you 2'-0'ed dredge with only 2 hateslots side.

4 hhateslots, 2 faerie and 2 relic.
I won the roll.
Game 1 - I went t1 chalice in the blind on 1. Wich he just scooped against basicly. He had a mull to 6, so he couldnt naturally discard dredgers wich made him really slow.
Game 2 - He goes t1 loothing + led, pop led. some ichorids and narco's. I play a thorn and just race him. Thorn makes it so that he can't go crazy with dread return, therapy's etc.
Dredge isnt really that fast of a deck and with just a bit of desruption you can easily race them.
I also side ratchet bomb in against them so the zombie's cant get out of control.
I really loved the Spatial contortion.
It can't kill goyfs. But when I used it, it was always aimed at a delver's head, wich are a bit more problematic. Against deck who don't have a lot of creatures to remove
you can use it as a pump spell on thought knot, smasher, endless one etc.. So I was never anoyed to have it. And not costing life was such a great bonus cause a lot of my games ended with me being at three or less life.
I would like to have one extra, but I just can't find the room. Suggestions?
I won't be writing up a tournament reports as I didn't take many notes and I am not sure I could accurately remember all of the details from the games I played over both days. If you have any questions about the list or the matches, let me know. I will do my best to remember the details.
The list I ran and my match-ups are below. Again, big thanks to @Barook:
2 Karakas

R2 - 2-0 Miracles
R3 - 0-2 Shardless*
R4 - 0-2 Painter (T1 Moon both games)
R5 - 2-1 Goblins (Won through a Bloom Moon G2)
R6 - 2-1 Lands (Karakas MVP)**
R7 - 2-0 ANT
R8 - 2-1 Dredge
R9 - 0-2 Shardless
R10 - 1-2 Colorless Eldrazi (he drew the big half of his deck, I drew reshapers and mimics)
R11 - 2-1 4c Loam (Karakas MVP again)
R12 - 1-2 Junk Nic Fit (Sigarda is a real thing when you plan on casting All Is Dust)
I dropped at X-5 as I didn't want to put myself in a bad mood, I don't care about the pro point, the rest of my car didn't make D2, and I wanted to get back home in time for the Penguins game.
* The first Shardless match-up I had him at 1 life and his hand was empty in G1 and couldn't find a threat to finish him off. G2 I had a full board (TKS, TKS, 6/6 Endless one). Again, he was empy handed and his only out was Strix into Goyf (REAL big at this point. I think 6/7 or 7/8 because of All Is Dust) and then draw removal the following turn. That's exactly what he did. Yuck.
** I had lost 2 matches in a row at this point and after dropping G1 I had kind of checked out and was on tilt. I let a Gamble and an Exploration through a Chalice on 1 in G2. Luckily, he mulled to a pretty weak 5 and I won anyway.
I did not practice the Shardless match-up nearly as much as I should have. Huge mistake on my part.
I started 6-0 at GP Col with this list. Built it the night before and made changes I didn't like and moved some numbers. Ended up losing to Burn, then D&Tx2, decided to skip day two and just play a pile of feces at the SSS. I'll do a report assuming I ever care to play this deck again.
