Turn 2 Ulamog with a lotta luck and some heavy mulligans for TT and TC in your opening hand. Exile 2 permanents on Ulamog cast. Can whiff if it hits another TT.

Chamber Sentry can be used as an emergency chump blocker (if you have multiple in hand) AND can be recursive to combo again with Jegantha on the board.

In Modern, there's this idea to Cascade into this spell, or maybe Spoils into it. In Pioneer, I guess a prison / control shell could work ? If ever you resolve Trickery, you want either a wincon or something that stabilizes the board (a wrath for example). But any other hit will be underwhelming. Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast would be a nice hit too.
Anything that puts the creature on top of the library can work too. Here's a list of spells in the format that does it :
With black, you may wanna play Thoughtseize and Lightning Axe to discard fatties in your hand, while being good cards on their own.
Edit : oh well, I missed Trickery exiles the top cards as I was pondering. Mmmh, maybe a way to rearrange the top of the library can work instead, like Taigam's Scheming and Contingency Plan.
This is like the Modern version. Maybe there are other eldrazis to play. Even playing Omniscience in case you draw a big guy.
I wouldn't play Kozilek 2.0 in this deck and there aren't any other high impact Eldrazi to cheat out really in Pioneer. Omniscience on the other hand could be a 2 or 3 of possibly, especially if you run 4 of each Ulamog 2.0 and Emrakul 2.0 and they end up in hand. I have been Goldfishing the deck with proxies and it will combo turn 2 at times. Right now it isn't above 50 percent of games so I don't think it has the chops for competitive at this time. In the future, who knows. It is fun to drop either of the titans on turn 2, especially on the play. Mulling down to 2 cards happens quite a bit as well. We don't have the Cascade spells of Modern so it is far less consistent. I will tinker with it and have some fun in casual or semi-competitive play but as for taking out tier decks consistently, probably won't happen. It is a lot like the Zombie Hunt deck in Pioneer, fun and powerful at times but inconsistent.

Having to aggressively mull to two or even one card in the deck I would not want to play a dual color manabase, even with all those lands. I think what you would gain in consistency of the combo, you may lose with inconsistency of the mana base. It may be worth a shot I suppose. On top of that there is ZERO chance of extending the game a turn or two without man-lands in the mix. Mutavault would probably be a better choice than Crawling Barrens as well. Yes the deck is an all or nothing deck but I think mono color with some man lands might be able to extend a game a turn every once in a while and snag a lucky win. Just my thoughts but don't let it deter anyone from multicolor versions.

I have. It would solve the man land issue but it still has the dual color manabase issue and is now a turn 3 combo as well. It would probably help in the mulling as well for sure. Its a thought for a BR version for sure.
Update: Cut 4 SC Mountain and added 4 Zhalfirin Void to add just a hair of card filtering. Also 4 Nephalia Academy to combat Thoughtseize.
