This is my idea for an Eldrazi deck that will hopefully be able to survive at FNM. Please comment as much as possible.

     10 Forest
     10 Mountain
     2 Banefire
     2 Artisan of Kozilek
     4 Awakening Zone
     4 Brood Birthing
     2 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
     4 Growth Spasm
     4 Hand of Emrakul
     1 Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
     4 Nest Invader
     4 Emrakul's Hatcher
     1 Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
     4 Lightning Bolt
     4 Kazandu Refuge

Gericault: Is this fast enough?

Im sorry but eldrazi are slow in standard, due to the cost, especially trying to hard cast them.

you have 18 cards that cost 5 or more and 20 that cost 3 or less, 16 of which produce spawn, though 4 of which you wouldn't play until a spawn was already on the field, which means you only have a 30% chance of having a spawn maker in your opening hand, and that includes the brood.

you can cut out some of the larger eldrazi like artisan, and go for more accel like fertile ground, harrow, etc...  summoning trap would also hwlp get your big ones out.

Last FNM, someone used an Eldrazi deck and got 1st place. They are not too slow! I will probably replace Artisan and Banefire for Summoning Traps.
