I am actually surprised but i jave not had the problem of not getting enough mana. Still are there any mana ramp cards that could go in here?

I don't know how you stay alive long enough to get anything out. I don't know how to fix this without rebuilding it with a base of green for mana acceleration and multi-colored lands to play the rest. You have alot of eldrazi in here that I imagine linger in your hand for a long time. Get a {sol ring}, {mana vault}, {llanowar elves}, {elvish piper}, {birds of paradise}, {harrow}, {wild growth}, {awakening zone}. Other than that if you want to keep it the same colors, I would simplify it, it seems like everything has to be going right to be able to play a card. I do admit I didn't look to see what every card does, I'm not that patient.

Make sure you have a steady mana cost ramp for your creatures and have ways to kill creatures, enchantments, and artifacts, other than the nicol bolas

Ditch some lands and add mana producing creatures and artifacts otherwise your waiting until turn 5 or 6 to play a 5 mana cost spell

Wellllllllll... I have played with this deck a few times and i just get my walls out and block untill i can get enough mana or i can get eldrazi tokens out and sacrifice them to play 2 cards early.

Similar, but not copies. There's {Seething Song}, one that requires you sac a critter. One or two others that i'd have to look up.
