I know that these eldrazi are not the most competitive thing but i love the race so much that i could resist in try a UB Control deck using cards from my Ninja UB deck, maybe the second one will be better.
Right. I think using it as is in modern cheerios is probably fine though. Gives you redundancy, and something you can actually cast on turn 3 (paradise mantle, and mox opal are in the deck)
I have no experience with Cheerios, but I have been riding Heartless Summoning'a jock for a couple years now, and as a combo deck the damage source is not the place it needs redundancy. There are probably a half dozen viable options in that area. Where the deck needs redundancy is something that can do the job of Heartless as some kind back-up plan. If it had that I am confidant it could work it's way up to tier 2 status over time.
Sooooo I feel like Rest in Peace, Blight Herder, and Eldrazi temple/Eye of Ugin are a deck waiting to happen. I think Modern may be about to welcome a deck that plays RIP as a main deck build-around card rather than as a sideboard silver bullet.

I've actually been looking into building around black cards like Surgical Extraction and Leyline of the Void. Path to Exile has a home too. Haven't had considerable success yet, but the building blocks are in place. Black/White isn't really a color pairing that excites me in Modern, and Esper isn't much better. Also, the current Eldrazi processors aren't very exciting other. Wasteland Strangler is fine but then there's a huge power dropoff.
I feel you, I was really hoping for a cantrip processor. Maybe next set. I agree with you that Esper doesnt really seem worth it. Im brewing in azorius right now for maindeck spell skite remand and tomescour w/ a 3-1 split of RIP and relic. Kind of blue white control w/ eldrazi as a win condition. It struggles w/ the aggro matchup though.

I recall Scapeshift Zoo being a thing once or twice not too long ago.
But then again non-Collected Company Zoo is a bit of a dice roll.
Just gunna put this here...

That aside I feel like this set has a lot to offer in terms of budget and lower tier options
