In some builds the Ulamog trigger might be redundant, and you most likely already have shaved some number of Show and Tells and don't need so many monsters for those either.

I have only thought of this path and wanted to know if there are any experiences to share regarding this.
I've had a corner case where Emrakul was in play, a Miracles opponent survived the annihilation and 15 life. They had just enough permanents to recast the humility that I bounced. The lonely sphagetti monster was then Swords to Plowshares shortly thereafter. With emrakul gone, I rode the 2nd eldrazi to victory. That time it was Kozilek and he was swinging into 1/1 angels on defense. Sometimes looping draw 3 spells and reshuffle triggers is just good enough to get there. Multiple primetimes were drawn, destroyed and reshuffle in that hot mess of a game as well.
