The idea sounds interesting. Worth a try I suppose. You may want to find some cards that help you go wide if that is the aim. A Skittering Invasion could net you 5 tokens and sacrifice Sanctum of Ugin to tutor up Metallic Mimic Or something similar I guess. I'm not sure it fits into the overall strategy of going over the top with cards like Ulamog, Kozilek or Emrakul or a Karn/Ugin. I suppose if someone doesn't want to run Chalice then this could be another avenue. I'll stick with the more traditional list myself but good luck.

I bought a playset a while back for just that reason. Haven't included them in the 15 yet though. A definite meta call it would seem.

Love the Logo. Stick Ulamog in back of it with both hands on the edges of the logo and it would be perfect.

I also think it's best to focus on the true colorless version and emphasize chalices in the main.
Agreed 100%.
Also let Ageless127 know your willingness to help via PM. He will be getting the ball rolling on the Primer.

If we can help you out, let us know. It really is a time-eater and labor of love to do it correctly. If I had some extended time off I'd give it a shot. My only caveat would be we stick to true colorless EldraziTron in the primer and mention that it is possible to splash color, but that deviates somewhat from the core direction of the deck. Again, if we can help, give us a shout out.
My list sure has taken a huge evolution since my original just about a year ago. A lot of changes in a short period of time. There is a true core to the deck to be sure though.

Yep, I am running 2 Gutshot in my SB currently. Comes in handy for exactly what you said. Dismember just hits more than those though. Being able to take out a 3/4 or 4/5 Goyf, Kalitas, Courser, Rhino, Seer or other 4/5 toughness creatures makes it virtually irreplaceable. I'm wondering if running a couple of Radiant Fountain MB could help with the life loss. Being able to fetch one up with Planar Bridge in dire straights seems plausible as well. Maybe we will get some better low cmc colorless removal printed someday. Something like Brittle Effigy only for 2 mana and 1 or 2 to activate. I won't hold my breath. Dismember it is for now.

Round 5: 1-2 against Affinity. Got stomped game 1. Had Chalice on zero and on 1 and Batterskull later took over. Game 3 was really intense, but was finally able to stabilize after casting some removal on his creatures. Endbringer got the small creatures and gained me some cards. One turn before lethal I was at 6 life and the only card that could kill was 2x Galvanic Blast, so I stupidly played Chalice for 2 instead of 1 and it turns out he had 1 in hand and topdecked the other one just in time... damn.
The Affinity matchup can be problematic for sure. I really wish we had a better option than lose 4 life for Dismember. That life loss cost me a game to Affinity recently.

Chalice is not something I would cut. It's one of the major reasons to play this deck over Bant Eldrazi as we can allow ourselves to only play 4 one drops MD. It shuts off so many cards in Modern it's ridiculous.
Quoted for truth. It is a HOUSE!!!

Walking Ballista is the real deal. I've been proxy-ing it in and it does a lot of work. As I mentioned before it does a great job of keeping Lily in check. Jund just can't pop down Lily and -2 her with no fear of reprisal. Blocking and then able to ping away another creature is very relevant as well. I already have 2 copies pre-ordered.
I feel you Flip on SSG. I'm sticking with it but having a lower creature count feels bad. When it clicks with Caverns or a turn 1 Matter Reshaper though watch out.
