Notes:
Im tired of this deck being stupid and I would REALLY appreciate some feedback on this one.  Several things: {Walking Atlas} is nonessential.  I. Want to replace them with {Urza's Incubator} I think.   {Wurmcoil Engine} is just for giggles; nonessential.  {Hand of Emrakul} has prove to be utterly useless.  I don't have the {Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre} and 2 {All Is Dust}s that I want.

With my colorless Eldrazi, I cut down on the Urza lands and replaced some of them with 4 {Vesuva}. It helped a lot more with consistency (copying {Cloudpost}) and got pretty out of control. I also put in a few blockers to keep my life protected while I built up mana, as even with 8 potential cloudposts, it could still be a bit difficult to build up all that mana. If you want, I could post my Eldrazi to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

I had really thought about {Vesuva}, but I didn't know what to take out.  But now that I think about it, a playset of each Urza land has proven to be too much.  I constantly draw hands with {Glimmerpost}, {Eldrazi Temple}, and one of the Urza lands; not a single land works in conjunction with the other. 

What type of defenders do you use?  I had kinda thought about that.  The {Spellskites} are good, but don't quite have the helpfulness I need.  Maybe {Wall of Tanglecord}?  My knowledge doesn't stretch too far beyond the ZEN block...

I used the cheapest defenders I could find, {Steel Wall} and {Shield Sphere} to make sure I could play them no matter how my mana was doing. I also threw in a couple {Ornithopter} because flying was a problem. It was a lot of trial and error, but it worked well once I had it figured out.

How about a  {Quicksilver Amulet} or two to expedite the process? Or some  {Palladium Myr}s?

{Ashond's Altar} + Eldrazi token = 2 mana

Keyeto:  I really like {Shield Sphere} :P  I honestly hadn't thought of using {Ornithopter} as just a chump blocker for 0.  I am definitely going to look into some colorless walls and give this deck some defense.

Quackmaster:  Honestly, that's a point where I go by fun over playable.  While {Quicksilver Amulet} would be very helpful, I have never had fun using it.  It is just so predictable in a deck like this.  When I tap the amulet, my opponent will most likely scoop due to {Emrakul, The Aeons Torn}.  No one lets me finish a game when I play him :(  And I had actually considered {Palladium Myr}.  I may try them out.

Billygote:  I actually like the idea of {Ashnod's Altar}.  I hadn't seen that card before.  Only problem is the {Skittering Invasion}s are really the only way I get spawn out as it is.  But that is definitely a card I will consider.

Almost forgot, I also threw 2 {Dreamstone Hedron} into the deck eventually. Had 3 but it started clogging my hand. Works pretty well as a mana source, although a bit slow, and once you have your cloudposts set up, you can just draw cards. If you haven't used it, I'd at least try it out and see how you like it.

Also,  {Sol Ring} should be a staple for eldrazi.

Silent1236

The hedron seems like it could be useful and sol ring is something I totally overlooked...

Look at making a green/colorless for mana ramp, look at my deck Green Machine posted above... I consistently can get elvish piper out by turn 3-4 and any creature out by turn 5(for one mana)... The end result is usually 1-2 eldrazi and a terrastomper or something on turn 6

Mine is green colorless, I'll post it on here. It's 8-0 on cockatrice

MisterJH

Basically replace all the big creatures in my deck woth eldrazi, maybe add a few more eldrazi at the cost of scute mobs, and change the lands and rancors, fog, and other non-mana ramping cards with sol rings(other mana ramp) or eldrazi specific cards

I ran my mouth and Silent handed me my ass lol :(
