I think having these cards right next to each other explains it quite well.
while the idea of Ugin into Titan woul make sense, the reality is "ugin, 0, rock, rock, rock. Oh look their board is wiped"
(But Karn Liberated is a solid walker and usually scales well with power level, that would be my vote if you're looking for a colorless "Titan planeswalker" as a control win-con.)

I'm not convinced that it would blow up multiple things in a turn that often. Hand should be pretty low by then.I think having these cards right next to each other explains it quite well.

But that's a good point that it's like Karn with a free -3 and draw a card and gain 3 life...
Fine. I'll skip this one even though it's cool as hell.
Not loving what domain/converge/vivid brings. The power level on the cards with those keywords is super variable and it feels like a bit of a distraction to run it singleton.
Speaking of singleton, I dislike the vibe of heavy multiples and will be allowing 2x Eldrazi cards as non singles for now. Multiples on lands feels ok, but we'll see where it ends up.
I'm also exploring other color wheels.
If you look at something like KTK's wheel, you have Mardu, Jeskai, and Boros that want nothing to do with green (unless it's a big greed pile). This would let me separate the decks that want Eldrazi from those that don't.
Still using the KTK wheel as an example, there could be:
Temur Ramp Eldrazi
Sultai Eldrazi recursion and yard ramp
Abzan midrange that can be flexible as aggro or a bigger deck
Mardu Aggro
Jeskai Aggro Spells
In this case, the Boros side of the cube can be free of the Eldrazi constraints while the green side of the cube has a heavier focus on Eldrazi. Blue and Black sitting next to green would take on a secondary Eldrazi role.
I don't necessarily think KTK is the optimal wheel for it. Simply used it as an example.
