Except that your opponent has to kill/bounce it to get a random card. The card you exiled (of your choice) stays in exile until you process it. This seems absurdly good.
Holy crap that dude is bonkers. Eldrazi.dec is going to be a real thing.
Guys, I think it's important that we start talking about the mirror. This deck is really going to pick up some steam and to give you and example, I played the mirror last night and...we have no answers to anything. So basically, it's whoever has the better opening hand wins. That's basically what happened to me.
What's REALLY good against us? I'm having a hard time thinking what I could put in the SB to mess things up. I actually want to say leyline of sanctity because this stops the Sowers and I'll be honest, this card is really critical to the deck's success. It also stops relic and discard.
You guys do realize that if you blink this thing with the new White Eldrazi, they draw a card and then you exile a card from their hand again (unless it's an instant at which point they can cast it in response to the trigger).... OH MY GOD... I think I need a new pair of pants.

It doesn't completely stop Relic because you can still cycle it to hit their entire yard. I have almost never needed more than 2-3 cards exiled in the beginning. It does stop Sower though which is big in and of itself.
Edit: Also not a mirror match option but what I expect to see from folks against us is painter's servant. It makes eye and Eldrazi temple not reduce the cost of our creatures. You can't tutor with eye for things. It's an artifact creature so you can't kill it with Go for the throat. If they are smart they call Black so you can't doom blade it. It's not a complete hoser but it makes things exceedingly awkward and forces us to hard cast all our big things and its a 2 cmc artifact that anybody can play. It's like a 1 sided blood moon.
He is perfect because he is a 4/4 dodges Inquisition, bolt and Abrupt Decay and we are gonna be able to play him turn 2 or 3. He fits perfectly into curve as well.

Regarding the "artifact creature" thing, I decided to go with Doom Blade over Go for the Throat because it seems to me that the Jund/Junk/Grixis match ups are much easier for the bulk of our shell, compared to Affinity/Tron/whoever put down Spellskite against us.
Anyone else running into trouble with G1 Wurmcoils, Steel Overseers, etc.? Anyone try out Victim of Night yet?
[EDIT] Also, it occurs to me that Painter's Servant would have the side effect of making All is Dust a 100% board wipe and game reset, leaving only current cards-in-hand and life totals .

Go for the Throat conveniently goes around Spellskite. When you wanna kill that Glistener Elf...
But I agree, that's why I cut it altogether. I don't like the way it blanks my 4 Wasteland Strangler. I'm playing Slaughter Pact, but Victim of Night. Our deck is very good against the zombies and werewolves in the format.
Just a statement. I have pretty much been the loudest and most vocal champion of Tidehollow Sculler for this strategy. I like it as a card and think it is very good in this deck. Now that I've cleared that up, I am absolutely dropping all my copies of sculler to play thought-knot seer.

I was worried this deck wasn't going to get anything but this week has been great. Cast trigger is insane but can't block probably means we can't play this but it is worth considering. BTW I'm Matt from the open, been very busy, hope I can add to the convo here.

Or just play his bigger, Eldrazi cousin: Thought-Knot Seer
If that thing were 2<>, then we'd really be talking "broken".
I am not saying it's perfect but it does make things pretty awkward.
