I'm gonna go with this sideboard and tweaks and see where that takes me.

Thanks. It still feels rough and I need a sideboard. If you think of anything spicy let me know. My biggest concern right now is a sideboard set for an aggressive opponent that won't slow the deck too hard. I can't use phyrexian mana to close out the game if they push my health too low before turn 3...
I can't see a functional purpose for soulfire grandmaster. It looks like you're trying to prevent your part the waterveil from being exiled, but you can't do that.
The enchantment Saving Grace has some fun applications here. Star of Extinction would also be fun with nest out.
Faithless looting is not modern legal.
What is the purpose of using Emeria, the Sky Ruin? This deck has 0 plains, its ability will never trigger.
The Eldest Reborn is p. good with all the discard. Might end up doing better than Control Magic if your opponent discards high power creatures in favor of trying to save a cheaper one for board presence.
Eidolon of Countless Battles seems like a good card for this deck, I'd choose it over hopeful eidolon.
Maybe add swashbuckling? Haste, stats, and aura synergy = HAPPY FIRE SWORD MEN
I think Crumbling Necropolis is just a tiny bit better than Rupture Spire for this deck.I'd pick Unlicensed Disintegration or Dreadbore over Alms of the Vein as well.Overall, I like it a lot.
30 land, 0 playable creatures before turn 5ish, 0 card draw.A $200 Eldrazi deck should be getting goons out way faster.-Replace manalith with chromatic lantern that way doorway to nothingness has some hope of going off.-Get Kruphix, God of Horizons or battery lands like mage-ring network so you can store all your mana each turn as colorless if you're not going to cheat out your eldrazi with planar bridge/quicksilver amulet or something like that.-Get some next-level card draw if you're hoping to draw a minion this year.-The deck's already $200 just go get a set of cryptic commands.
Isn't hedron crawler just a worse Iron Myr (+1 attack, mana can be spent for galvanic blast) or Etherium Sculptor (+1/+1 and all artifacts cost 1 less) in this deck? Might want to make the swap.
I'd recommend at least sideboarding some anti-enchantment cards now that Solemnity is in print and cheap. It would counter the whole deck on its own.
Deck seems pretty good for the money it costs to run.Maybe consider running Yahenni, Undying Partisan? He's only a couple dollars and would do well with a stormkirk captain out.I'm also not a huge fan of whispersilk cloak. Maybe run Cosmotronic wave instead and prevent all blocking for the turn?Either way, this is pretty solid as-is, so +1 from me.
Divine Reckoning instead of Day of Judgement?You get flashback and you can cast it as soon as you have one Exemplar in play instead of having to wait until you get your second one.
I feel like Venser the Sojourner would be a more fitting walker than this Jace. You'd have his +2 ability to bounce your halimar depths/augury owl/Sage for a stronger scry effect than Jace provides and would come with the added benefit of being able to create Venser emblems to exile enemy permanents while you hammer out all those low cost spells. You'd only lose the ability to shuffle your graveyard into your hand, but that's why god invented elixir of immortality.Otherwise, cool design, I liked the miracle effect even if it was probably a bit too strong to ever see print again.
A Celestial Mantle or two would be fun.
For as much as mind grinds cost mana-wise to do a lot of damage, I would sooner turn 4 a supreme verdict, turn 5 a consuming aberration, and then use your cheap-costing spell base to spam consuming aberration's ability and then swing for craptons of damage. (He has "Whenever you cast a spell, your opponents must reveal cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land, then place those cards in their graveyard."Basically, you get a creature that has a built-in mindgrind, and all you have to do is let him sit there until you can either swing with him or mill them out.
There is a WAY cheaper and arguably better infinite turn engine (that is also more-legal) using thopter foundry, sword of the meek, and time sieve.
I feel like cloudshift could have a home in this deck, but I don't know what I would take out to put it in there.
