    I've been impressed with playing a Rhonas over Hazoret for a few reasons. First off you can cascade into Rhonas off of BBE. Imagine the line of a turn 3 BBE into Rhonas and followed up with either a TKS or Reality Smasher turn 4 allowing Rhonas to get in for some sweet damage. I played again this last Friday at local ship and went 4-0 and just split top prizes and then followed it up with going 3-1 at local Monday night Modern even losing to Infect.

    I think the deck is far from seeing it's best version as there are so many good spells that interact with BBE. I'll be adding Blood Moon into the sideboard for sure to control Tron match ups as them coming down on natural tron turn 3 is just so tough to deal with even with all of the haste creatures we can toss at them.

    Definitely a huge fan of the deck. I've since unsleeved a few Modern decks and put the cards back in binders for a while.

    I played R/G Eldrazi this past Monday at local Modern event. Deck played sweeter than I thought it would. I did make a few changes to the list that took down GP this past weekend with playing Goyfs maindeck and they did an ok job at putting pressure. I'll be taking them out beccause they just don't work well with the 3 or 4 maindeck Scooze that are trying to do their best to keep graveyards honest. Obligators are just fantastic at taking out the air of opponents that try to catch up or even put up a defense after a turn 2 or 3 TKS. I was stealing Trackers all night.

    I personally don't know much BBE adds to the deck itself but I'm willing to try it out. I'm looking at tinkering with the list to make it a little more streamlined.

    My list that I'll be playing this week with the changes.

    4 Noble Heirarch
    1 Birds of Paradise
    4 Matter Reshaper
    4 Ancient Stirrings
    4 TKS
    3 Scavenging Ooze
    3 Eldrazi Obligator
    1 Hazoret the Fervent
    4 Reality Smasher
    1 Rhonas the Indomitable
    1 Endbringer
    1 Drowner of Hope
    4 Lightning Bolt
    2 Dismember
    1 Talisman of Impulse

    Landbase is the same as the original list.

    Sideboard can vary week to week depending on local meta. I did use nearly every card in my sideboard except the 1 of Koz Return. I figure it was used primarily to wipe out pesky Spirit Tokens so I figure I would leave it in. I ran into Abzan Control and the Relics-Ooze combination was enough to keep them from doubling up on Lingering Souls most of the matchup.

    I'd love to hear any feedback on the list I'm trying out.
