The greatest thing about Ugin is the army of kamikaze tokens he creates that are 100% value no matter what happens. Perfect blockers, great attackers and the opponent has to constantly think if he wants to give you that card that's under the token. And they don't even have to die! They just have to leave the battlefield. This is craaaaaazy good in Eldrazi Tron. I'm super excited about playing 2x Ugin and 2x New Karn in the main deck in half a month.
I've recently tried out 2 copies of Elder-Deep Fiend in the main deck and it worked surprisingly well. The card is pretty busted when you have the mana. Bonus points against merfolk :P.
I feel like it may be better in the deck than cards like Karn Liberated or Ulamog, because it's often actually easier to cast and flash gives it amazing flexibility.
They key to success are hasty flyers in my opinion, that's why I have 4 angels in support of phoenixes and hellkites. Growth-Chamber Guardian is pretty great and a good way to get yourself out of mulligans. Main deck Knights of Autumn are good in many match ups. You need life? Sure. You need to destroy your opponents Rhythm/Search of Azcanta? Can do. You need a hasty 4/3 to kill your opponent. Possible.
Not sure if it's better than Temur or straight Gruul versions but white gives you some options.
As expected Karn is showing up and it seems like 4 copies will be the standard. Some decklists have Newgins too. Future looks quite good :).
