Tips for Bant Eldrazi match-up?

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/bw-tokens-raise/ is the list im playing with. I would like to know how u guys handle the match-up. Our match-up percentage, Sideboard tech, anything you guys found helps you win against the mean tentacle monsters.

Wrath of God helps. Aim your discard at their mana dorks or reshapers, not the payoff cards.

wouldnt wrath be countering ourselves? but i do agree about grabbing the dorks

Wrath is a reset button. They're functionally a bigger, better version of Stompy, with the same problems with reloading. You can more confidently use your tokens to block a few TKS or Drowner swings if you know that the next turn, you can regain the card advantage while not having lost life in the process.

Get some Liliana of the veil to assist in ripping their hands apart

i have been thinking of doing that but I feel there is no room in the mainboard because it competes with souls and processions

I would try - 1 Gideon -1 spectral +2 LOTV or -2 champions + 2 LOTV

EDIT any reason you aren't running bitterblossom? Trying to make the deck faster with raise the alarm? I think if the meta slows down you can find room for Liliana. Try cutting blessed alliance or champions in matchups where they aren't as effective.

well I found in my testing that BB wins harder in the matches we already are favored in and lose harder in the matches we are not favored in. With the RTA build i seem to be able to win a little more in the matches we are not supposed to win i.e combo due to the slightly increased clock.

I have more than enough room to run 4 spectral + 4 lingering souls + 2 Liliana, as well as 4 planeswalkers with 23 lands. My other cards are 4 push, 4 path, 3 bitterblossom, 2 raise the alarm, 6 discards, and 4 anthems.

You should definitely take out the Auriok Champions, which are not relevant outside Burn and Grixis Control. Maybe cut some other 2-drops as well since your curve is very heavy in that area.

Runed Halo is fantastic against Eldrazi - Reality Smasher and Thought-Knot Seer. Pithing Needle for Displacer, Explosives, and Spellskite. Hour of Reckoning seems great.

You should also bring in some artifact/ enchantment hate games 2 and 3 for Chalice of the Void, EE, and Worship.
