I totally agree with the comment above. By taking them out and adding more counters and heavier stuff (like roast) you’re focusing too much on Eldrazi and losing advantage over decks Blue Moon already had.

Also, it’s not a good idea going for a whole set of mana leaks considering Eldrazi and other decks play Cavern of Souls. Making it a dead card.

Point is, no matter what you do to this deck, you still cannot beat Eldrazi’s nut draws. However, this is not the case against a lot of other creature decks. Cards like burst lightning and spell snare can put them so far behind that it makes the rest of the game go smoothly for the most part. It is my belief that the goal of blue moon is not to just try to beat eldrazi but to find sort of a hybridization of beating eldrazi as well as beating the hyper aggressive creature decks. no matter how popular eldrazi is, people will still be bringing decks to tournaments like Affinity, Burn, and even Collected Company decks. These are some of the decks that are supposed to be good against eldrazi and these are decks we cannot afford to lose to.
