Did you adopt this from a Nic Fit list, or make it from scratch?

Looks fun to me.

I made this one on my own and then heard about the other one and adapted that one to this one and I think it's good

It is! I think it's a tier1.5 deck, but it is solid.

If you want to test sometime by play by post or Untap, let me know.

The combo element seems fragile. The only way you can cast  {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} is with  {Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary} mana right? How often do you get the mana for him? Seems like more utility creatures would be better than the eldrazi, since they'll be hard to cast here.

Just birthing pod and also use a return to battlefield for veteran explorer to max out your mana faster

In this deck or in nic fit generally? I don't see those things in this deck. Am I missing something?

Friend did a deck recently like this and it rocked Out at our store, used junk colors, birthing pod and I'll have to ask him what else he did, it basically kept returning veteran back to field and he kept sacing to pull basics and then eventually cast his bombs

Nic fit and pod are a cool pair. Did he use  {Recurring Nightmare} too? I played against someone not long ago who had a nic fit scapeshift monstrosity that seemed pretty crazy. He beat me in 3. :-/
