R6: Win against UR Delver, only because his two delvers won't flip 5 turns in a row
R7: Win against turbo depths
The deck is utterly horrible. It loses to almost anything, except fair decks. I lost against Infect and reanimator. Against Infect I lost on turn three twice, and against reanimator i lost on turn one ( swamp, ritual, thoughtseize, entomb reanimate griselbrand) and turn two.
The deck also loses against show and tell, lands, UR delver, miracles, big red, decks that play Baleful Strix, and every deck that has blood moon in the sb or main... . Chalice does almost nothing anymore since most decks simply don't care about it and play around it easily, or have enough removal. Not to mention that despite that you play 26 lands, you get manascrewed more often than not.
I think that this deck is way past its prime and if you want to win a tournament, you should play anything BUT this pile. I for one will be unsleeving my Eldrazi and unless the meta changes drastically, I won't be playing them anymore.
