the card itself really isn't worth the card board its printed on...does it serve a purpose? Sure its a blue 1 drop that might not be a 1/1. I would not put it in a list and expect to win a PTQ or GP though.
Pretty sure you want Goyf in this deck. The BG Eldrazi decks popping up with Lili and Stirrings all play him.
i tested a version which ran 4x ancient stirrings and 4x goyf as well as the more aggro eldrazi creatures.
it was great fun. needs a tweak but definitely competitive. can keep a wide range of opening hands as well which is a weakness of the other eldrazi decks.

realistically, the deck could stretch to Liliana of the Veil as well, and matter reshaper into her is unreal.
I actually did run it before the current list but honestly goyf just didn't synergize well unless you were matter-reshapering into it (which you have nom control over). I found I'd far rather play any eldrazi than play a goyf so he ended up coming out for the mimics. But we'll see, he may end up back in in place of some non-eldrazi spells. I did in fact once reshaper a Lilly and it was the closest I'll ever get to playing Bloodbraid elf in modern haha.

Well, I'm planning on moving towards using UB eldrazi to help make the processors more consistent. I think processors is a very viable tournament strategy that has more fun interaction than the colorless and UR aggro versions, but it needs a way to get something, anything, into the graveyard so we can actually exile stuff and get the engine going. Hence, I've turned to the humble shoreline Hedron Crab. He's my honorary eldrazi crab (just needs a tentacle hat), that helps get stuff into the opponents yard so we got fuel to use. That and I sort of am working on trying out taking a few pages from UB mill. Also, I get to mainboard Surgical Extraction. Also, given affinity and eldrazi aggro variants like to play a lot of creatures in rapid succession, I've been thinking of trying to use whiplash trap to try and slow them down a bit and reset mimics. Assuming no thought-knot came down.
1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

Matter Reshaper into Goyf is a big game.
