Our second deck is the Eldrazi Incursion precon. It's a WUBRGC Eldrazi deck with a colorless/devoid-matters subtheme. At the forefront of the horrors are Ulalek, Fused Atrocity and Azlask, the Swelling Scourge. Decklist is here.
It's an Eldrazi deck, so let's start with the classic colorless Eldrazi.
Inversion Behemoth2CC
Creature - Eldrazi
At the beginning of combat on your turn, switch the power and toughness of each of any number of target creatures until end of turn. Wherever it is, up becomes down, life becomes death, and the end becomes the beginning.
2/9
Spawnbed Protector7
Creature - Eldrazi (Rare)
At the beginning of your end step, return up to one target Eldrazi creature card from your graveyard to your hand. Create two 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature tokens with "Sacrifice this creature: Add C." "These are mere shadows of the titans. Killing them will only provide temporary relief."
—Ugin
6/8
Twins of Discord7
Creature - Eldrazi (Rare)
Whenever you attack, choose odd or even. Creatures with mana value of that quality can't block this turn.
Each other colorless creature you control has bloodthirst 2. (If an opponent was dealt damage this turn, this creature enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.)
8/6
Ulamog's Dreadsire10
Creature - Eldrazi (Rare)
Vigilance
Ward—Sacrifice a permanent with mana value 1 or greater. T: Create a 10/10 colorless Eldrazi creature token. "A general is only as strong as the army he leads. Maybe Ulamog is a better commander than I thought."
—Gideon Jura

Bismuth Mindrender3B
Creature - Eldrazi (Rare)
Devoid (This card has no color.)

Snapping Voidcraw1GU
Creature - Eldrazi Turtle (Common)

I hope someone does a break down video for the overwhelming majority of players who don't speak or read Japanese. I get it for single cards, I wish WotC wuld keep fewer spoilers for themselves and share those with content creators around the world, but having an entire deck previewed in Japanese is an odd choice.
Anyone have the reprin highlights?
