Need help with legacy eldrazi

[ThyHorrorCosmic]

So, I've been running a black aggro control deck and its getting really boring and thinking bout eldrazi to have some fun. I've read some eldrazi decks and not really the way I want to go. I was thinking GB with esg, dark rituals, maybe cabal rituals, explore and then infernal tutors and worldly tutors to get the creatures out faster. I'm wanting to keep the deck around $100-$150 so sneak attack and show and tell is out of question. Any ideas are appreciated!

Awhile back, I was testing Lake of the Deads as second copies of Show and Tell alongside with Hellcarver Demon which eventually spits out the Eldrazis from my deck.

That is a pretty sweet idea, too bad worldly tutor doesn't select multiple creatures...thanks for that, think I'll do something around that.

I have a deck that I think you would be very interested in trying out; it is a mono-black control build with a splash of green that tries to ramp up, via Urborg and Cabal Coffers, to play some flying spaghetti monsters. The list:

4 Verdant Catacombs
3 Bloodstained Mire
2 Bayou
6 Swamp
1 Forest
3 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
4 Cabal Coffers
1 Eye of Ugin
1 Bajuka Bog
1 Wasteland

1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
1 Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
1 Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

4 Innocent Blood
2 Chainer's Edict
3 Pernicious Deed
1 Engineered Explosives

4 Hymn to Tourach
3 Thoughtseize
3 Inquisition of Kozilek

4 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Beseech the Queen
2 Sylvan Scrying
1 Life from the Loam

Beseech the Queen is a card that has intrigued me since it was first released; as long as you can pay the triple black mana cost, it is one of the most versatile tutors for searching out cheap cards. In the early turns of the game, you will primarily use them to find your lands. You will almost always want to find an Urborg first, then keep searching for Coffers. In the meantime, you have a ton of cheap creature removal and discard spells (all of which can also be easily searched out by Beseech).

I think all of the options you listed for mana ramping (Elvish Spirit Guide, Rituals, Explore) will still be too slow to power out creatures that cost at least 10 mana. However, the Cabal Coffers can very quickly become almost exponential in mana development; if you have an Urborg, two Coffers and three other lands, you can make 12 mana. Get a seventh land in play and you can then cast Emrakul. What better way to top off a game of slowing the opponent down with edicts and hand-wrecking?

Depending on how much you already own, a deck like this one may be too expensive. If you already have some Bayous and fetchlands, then the Deeds and Tops are the only really expensive pieces. Perhaps you could cut out green entirely, replacing the versatility of Deeds and the land-searching Sylvan Scryings with more discard and possibly some black creature sweepers.

As you might expect, the deck can have a miserable combo matchup. But your aggro games can sometimes be complete routs, as all the edict effects are really enough to hold off most creature onslaughts. The copious amount of discard also gives you a boost against several control builds. Anyways, let me know if this is the kind of deck you are looking for.
