Well well, this is the 2nd site that goes down on me... I moved here after Essential Magic went into a deep slumber around 2015, never to really wake up again (it's still around, but with a completely dead forum).
Sad news, not sure where to go now once MTGS closes down for good.

After some thinking, I won't go with an eldrazi token route (as mentioned in my previous post) for the moment. Unless someone has tried this with some success (if so, please share your decklist)?
Here is the current decklist I am working with, strongly inspired by Prid3's deck. I think this version can hold its own, but does it seem strong enough for a multiplayer game (casual but still good players)? My main hesitation is with Kalastria Healer as there are not that many allies in the deck. However I see him appearing in several decks out there which revolve around Zulaport Cutthroat. Am I missing something here?
I want to avoid expensive cards if possible. Thanks for your input!
3 Blistergrub
2 Carrier Thrall
4 Grim Haruspex
4 Kalastria Healer
4 Pawn of Ulamog
2 Smothering Abomination
4 Viscera Seer
4 Zulaport Cutthroat
2 Shadows of the Past
3 Wake the Dead
3 Immortal Servitude
I am aiming to build such a deck for multiplayer games (king variant where I always have 4 opponents), based on sacking the eldrazi tokens for some good damage.... I will work on a shell which includes the above cards as well as Dark Prophecy and advise later, but in the meantime, does anyone have such a deck already built? Looking for ideas/suggestions.
Thanks!
LMAO this is not my style... I just like to discuss, that's all..

I wonder what reasoning WOTC had when they created this card.... why make such a card at all if only a minority of players will actually try using a deck with 4 copies (and even less players achieving its ultimate goal)?
On another point, let's say you manage to make a deck that actually wins more or less consistently Hedron Alignment. I don't see the fun in playing it over and over again. In addition, your playgroup will probably not want to play against it after awhile... that's my feeling for the moment.
No worries...
I agree and I'm not trying to imply that my view is the only one that applies. You don't have to lecture me on this point, how did I give you the impression that I was the center of the universe?
Of course, but the card doesn't do much and the extra copies will clog up your hand until you manage to exile / discard and draw the fourth copy for the win. As such, I think building a deck geared towards breaking Hedron Alignment sounds rather dull and unexciting.
I wonder why they created such a narrow card with a nearly impossible win condition. As a rare to boot! I like the originality behind it but there are way too many loops to jump through before you can manage to have all cards in the necessary places.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Thanks
The 2nd game (4 players) was faster and way more brutal.... I came in strong and furious, ending with a master of waves which I copied twice via Cackling Counterpart for a massive wave (no pun intended!) of elementals boosted +3/+3....
I have to admit, even if the deck may not be foolproof, it is a great pleasure to play. Thanks again Prid3 for your helpful ideas!
I was reading old MTG articles and came upon a decklist which included Kira. I think it could do wonders, especially with Teferi already in play to protect my creatures from a nasty spell.
I believe I now have a valid deck. Time will tell how good it really is, but I have a great feeling so far. I might eventually swap the Wasps for Nightveil Specter if needed. For the moment, I prefer not using him because in my playgroup, this sort of card attracts attention and removal, which I try to avoid if possible.
