Deck discussion for Eldrazi attempt...advice welcome

First, try to get deck to 60 cards. (posted as 62 cards)
Your deck needs some type of "mana ramp" so you can cast those expensive Aldrazi Spells.
You have too many Aldrazi Spells and too little land. Also your deck doesn't ssem to have any mana ramp cards/spells that help you get extra mana into play . Try 24 lands:- 16x Forest, 4x Khalni Garden, and 4x Evolving wilds.
MtG's new Deck Builder's Tool Kit has a strategy guide that suggests a mana ramp. (You play spells rather than creatures early that let you get more manna into play than just 1 per turn) By turn 4 you want 7 mana in play and an 8th in your hand. Combined with Aldrazi colorless token creatures that sacrifice to add mana to play spells or effects with you should be able to play an Aldrazi creature by turn 5. Deck Builder's suggest using Rampant Growth & Fronteir Guide to get extra mana out - 4 copies of each. Another mana ramp can be built with Harrow 4x and Khani Heart Expedition 4x.
That will allow you to play the smaller Aldrazi creatures. The ones that cost 8 or 9 mana.
Too turbo it up more in order to play the larger Aldrazi creatures add another ramp card or two: Armillary Sphere lets you search for 2 basic lands and out them into your hand. If you prefer adding mana creatures try Overgrown Battlement (Defender, but toughness of 4) or Joraga Treespeaker - provides two green mana when tapped after being leveled only to its 1st level. Other cards to consider are spells and creatures that come into play with colorless Aldrazi tokens.
So decide whether or not you want to focus on the lower casting cost Aldrazi or larger casting cost.
Try to cut 4 Aldrazi spells and 6 of something else from your deck to allow you to add the 8 ramp cards and cut it down to 60 cards. Try it out. Keep the 4 Fog cards in as they allow you to survive your opponent's attack extra turns until your Aldrazi are ready to attack.
