[PandorasBox969]

So I am new to MTG after quitting a few years back, so I'm just getting into the swing of things again - so please excuse anything stupid I may ask or say

Here is my deck idea for an Eldrazi Mana Ramp Deck ready to be used in M11 - it's mono Green:

Land (22)
-12x Forest
-4x Dread Statuary
-2x Eye Of Ugin
-4x Eldrazi Temple

Spells (17)
-4x Growth Spasm
-3x Skittering Invasion
-2x All Is Dust
-3x Awakening Zone
-4x Not of This World
-1x Eldrazi Conscription (getting a 2nd, will replace a Not of This World)

Creatures (21)
-4x Birds of Paradise
-4x Nest Invader
-2x Kozilek's Predator
-4x Broodwarden
-2x Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
-2x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
-2x Artisan of Kozilek
-1x It That Betrays

Total (60)

Looking for suggestions/comments/whatever..if you plan on ripping apart my deck, atleast be constructive about it please

I am going to start by listing the cards I don't like:
Eldrazi conscription
not of this world
It that betrays
dread statuary

The obvious first addition would be finishing the playset of awakening zone. I would also consider adding a few copies of llanowar elf. You may also want some more eldrazi as only having 6 (or 7 in your current list) can make it problematic when you want to cast them. Artisan of kozilek is pretty weak as it does not really have any targets, I love the card but it is just missing a deck right now. I think dread statuary could be replaced with tectonic edge or forests but that is a personal choice.

I will admit that I don't like the spawn token ramp deck that much but I have been stomped by it so I won't deny that it works well. We talked a while about the concept here, it may give you some ideas for your list.

Well the Artisans are good for bringing back eldrazi that were countered or spawn-generator creatures from graveyard. If you think I need more eldrazi, which ones? I can understand the tectonic edge replacing the dread statuary.

[browncoat]

Artisans can't bring back one of the legendary eldrazi as they shuffle themselves (as well as your graveyard) back into your deck. For the right eldrazi count I would run 3 Ulamog as the best legenary eldrazi to cast (emrakul is better to cheat into play and is far more difficult to cast). I would still run a copy of emrakul to tutor up with eye of ugin. I would test spawnsire, if you can get it to work consistently running 3-4 should make the deck pretty solid. Kozilek is overrated but is not too horrible and could be a 1-2 of if spawnsire does not work.

I also think you want a playset of expedition map to tutor up eldrazi temple or eye of ugin which is pretty important for the deck.

I would agree with browncoat lose the dread statuary for tectonic edge (but only to be used on man lands, never good to have a mana ramp deck that kills its own lands)

I would swap 1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn for Ulamog, he's hardcore i've lost every game he's been played against me.

Maybe swap Skittering Invasion for explore, as I think its a very slow card and its alway better to be ramping with land and not things that give mana as a once off.

Not of This World I'd replace with arbor elf, personally I dont like this card counters in green just dont feel right.

Eldrazi Conscription for the crusher one, its better to have a guy than an enchament for a guy.

I have a jund ramp deck, but i don't have any mythic eldrazi for it, so i subbed in Gaea's Revenge. I love her much.
