Tips or thoughts appreciated!!! Win cons are atherling or jace ultimate in sorins vengeance. Or just hard casting vengeance.
- 2 {remorseless punishment}
+2 {supreme verdict}
-1 {sorins vengeance}
+1 {doom blade}

{Murderous Cut} might work over {Dismember}.

More basics or some other way to not conceded to {Blood Moon}/land destruction. Lots of that going around in the name of anti-Eldrazi.

{Remorseless Punishment} and {Sorin's Vengeance} are too slow. Just too much mana for what they do. {Ætherling} might also be too slow.

I don't feel like this deck has what it takes to protect Planeswalkers. I'd consider {Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver} simply because they're good in some of your bad matchups and seem good vs Eldrazi. And maybe but probably not {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} as it protects itself and is a semi-viable win condition. {Sorin, Lord of Inistrad} might be good but just keep an eye on it and make sure it's working.

No {Supreme Verdict}?

You need more card advantage. {Think Twice} sounds bad but is good.

You don't have anything to fight against early game hexproof. All it takes is a {Slippery Bogle} agro and you're done.

Yes that was a joke.

yah a {murderous cut} might be nice over {dismember} or even a doom blade. -1 dismember + 1 of the others?
Side board would be for blood moon, burn, affinity, infect.
The decks mass amounts of removal/control is why I felt sorins vengeance was viable. Remorseless is an experiment :)
Deck is made to go late.
I think a 1 or 2 of ashiok would be a good idea. Not sure what I would drop for them.
After making the list I forgot to add in supreme verdict, I agree those are a must. Probably would drop the remorseless for these.
I felt my card advantage was good enough because of Sphinx and jace.  And that more removal/control would be better so I could survive the early game.
Eldrazi has no card advantage if you survive the early stage and get a foot hold, they don't have much to get back in the game with. Especially if you remove there eyes of ugin.

More big game hunter.
i didn't run more big game hunters because I thought that detention was superior for many reasons .

Just tossing this out there but if your trying to go late game how about a wall. Possibly  {Wall of Denial}

what would you recommend droping? All the removal I play - {detention sphere} cost less then {wall of denial} . And detention is so strong vs {reality smasher}
{wall of omens} dies to many eldrazi and if you don't draw into removal from its ETB/have the removal in your hand. you get kinda screwed. What are the pros/cons of playing walls over control spells?

{Dismember} is very strong against the eldrazi if they run {eldrazi mimics}

I wouldn't say it's any stronger than normal.
They don't decide to copy until Mimic's ability resolves, so you don't get free kills.
