So I am currently working on a colorless EDH deck and I am wondering whch Eldrazi God I should Use. I am thinking Kozi 1.0 as he is cheaper and replenishes your hand, however, He paints a large target while the others do not have as much of a story behind them. Ulaog 2.0 is scary when he attacks, as that is exiling 20 cards from teh opponent (and i may want bth my eldrazi gods availble for grave recursion. Ulamog 1.0 was my favorite eldrazi god and kozi 2.0 is okay and probably teh least imposing. So who should I run? (Or should i ust roll a die and during THAT GAME i play that eldrazi?
Both Kozileks are best if you want to build a strong deck. Kozilek 1.0 is probably the best if you want to go full-out aggro. With all the broken mana rocks, he's easy to power out by turn 3, then gives you a replenishment and you can keep going. Ulamog, on the other hand, often runs out of gas easily. What sets Kozi 1.0 apart from 2.0 is the fact that as an attacker, 1.0 is much more of a threat. 2.0 can control the board more, but 1.0 puts you not only on a clock from a 12/12, but having to sac those permanents hurts as well. This makes it the superior choice IMO.
However, if you're looking for a more thematic deck, Emrakul, the Promised End should lead the deck. She's the big boss of the Eldrazis after all.

Emerakul while thematic is kind of crap in comparison. Which is hwy i listed the other 4 only. I would love to be able to run Emrakul 1.0 but sadly She is banned (And Emrakul is a girl, i always referred to the eldrazis as he.)
I may go with kozi 1.0, as it that betrays likes annihilator 4.
Kozilek 1.0- IMHO, probably the best and suited for aggro. I rate him at the top due his ability to keep giving options in your hand and his threat level when he hits board. I put him over Koz 2.0 due to his more consistent nature and overall higher threat level.
Kozilek 2.0- More control orientated as stated above. Why more inconsistent, he still provides much needed juice to the deck machine and has the ability to possibility to keep the board state to your liking. He's also not too bad an attacker, though he not as good as his previous incarnation.
Ulamog 1.0/2.0- They're both bombs and good attackers. However, if they're taken off the field, you'll run into issues as they've left with little else when compared to any version of Kozilek.
No matter who you pick, i would recommend using the others in the 99 as they are good cards who will help you out.

Hmm, maybe kozi would be better as i just realize i can send kozi to the grave when he dies, let my grave shuffle into my deck and sen kozi to the general zone in response to him going into my deck.
I think Kozilek 2.0 would be slightly better than 1.0.
He can draw more cards than the first one when you dump your hand of manarocks.
He protects your artifact engines with his counterspell ability.
He might have a worse ability than Annihilator, Menace, but it still gets him through for a 2-hit KO, and you can always just equip him up with something like Whispersilk Cloak to get him through while protecting him.
I've been running my colorless from Kozi 1 to Kozi 2 and now trying out Emrakul 2 tomorrow, even though it seems worse. However, it looks a lot more fun since I love disrupting other players and controlling a turn is one of the most disruptive things you can do.
However, both Kozileks are decent choices. One is more aggressive, the other more controlling.
