I'm pretty sure you're talking about Oblivion Stone

That's the one   And 4 mana...not 7...oops!

And on second thought I kind of think my deck would be too OP for this format too. Even without the abuse of Belbe's and Quicksilver (which could potentially have Emrakul, the Aeons Torn on the field by turn 3-5 pretty regularly with this deck I think) there's enough ramp through Sol Rings Obelisks and in some cases Skittering Invasion and extra land production power with most lands giving you more than simply +1 to your CMC towards playing Eldrazi that I think even just hard casting some pretty big creatures will happen somewhere starting around turn 5. Trying to imagine one massive eldrazi after another around the time most deck's biggest bombs are something more like Grave Titan or Hostility seems too far ahead and too consistent for this game.

I added in the Batterskulls just cause, well they're awesome as potentially turn 2-3 4/4 lifelink vigilence creatures that can later turn something like Ulamog into a 14/14 vigilence, lifelink annhilator 4 indestructible. So early game defense/pressure, late game buff for things that don't really even need a buff. But that got me thinking....

Maybe colorless shouldn't be Eldrazi, even though it's the obvious choice, but maybe a living weapon deck?

I'll have to think about it later.

I really like this deck, but I'm kinda surprised that you didn't include Momir Vig in it. Still, it's not a necessity. As I saud, good deck idea.

The Eldrazi deck you posted is pretty cool.  I think it would definitely be OP - but if they ever brought back archenemy and only allowed the archenemy to play this deck - that would be a pretty fun challenge.

Also - yes on living weapon deck.  I don't know anything about those cards other than the challenge that had them, but it seems like a fun mechanic.
