As someone who plays Eldrazi Post variants almost exclusively in Legacy (on MTGO and in paper tournaments), I definitely vouch for this statement. The deck is solidly in the middle of the tier 2 decks and the one thing really holding it back from breaking through into the higher tier is the lack of mid-game options that cost less mana. The top-end pieces were always powerful but the deck is really going to benefit from more 4 and 6 mana powerful additions.

I'm just hoping that after this Infinity W... "War of the Spark" that they're finally done beating the dead horse that is the Grixis-Dragon-Walker-God-Thing.
Yeah it will be really hard to top this in terms of excitement if Bolas is still the villain.
I expect we will see Garruk come back into the story somehow and we get something more character-driven
Otherwise there will be a return to the Yawgmoth/Urza/Phyrexia ideas most likely

You all missed the foreshadowing on Ixilan:
Nicol Bolas wins, and his greed makes him say he's leader of all guilds.
Jace, as living guildpact, therefore can pass a law that says Bolas loses.
Bolas is obligated to obey, multiverse saved. I'll get you next time, gatewatch!

Chances are that Niv Mizzet Reborn has absorbed the Guildpact (maybe became the new living one?) and is going to slap Bolas shit.

The good news is that regardless of where the story is so far, the survivors are TOTALLY gonna go back to the Sarpadian Empires next! Right?
Right?

This one seems very interesting, despite being 3 mana. Works well with treasures (Standard-relevant, for those who care), punishing opposing fetches/Wastelands and turning your own copies into pingers alike, and buffs sacrifice effects of your own, like Liliana Ultimate or Cataclysm.
Isn't that also Anti-Emrakul tech to deal the last few points of damage?
Decent flying body for its cost, but 3 toughness makes it unfetchable with Recruiter. Protection from Wasteland is kinda good (especially with Vial and Karakas in play). Land GY hate is really niche, aka Loam.
No, (opponent's) Dark Depths can't be the target of spells and abilities, so they couldn't copy it with Thespian's Stage or remove counters with Vampire Hexmage.
Misread your post to think you were saying the opposite, my bad.
This reads like a Lands version of Grafdigger's Cage and hoses unfair lands like cage hoses unfair creatures.
