I'll analyze the different Eldrazi ramp variants in Modern to see which performs best against the meta you've described.

I can see "ramp eldrazi" in the meta report. Let me search for other Eldrazi variants to make sure I capture all versions:

The match results appear to be all zeros with mirrors excluded. Let me check the data differently, including mirrors:

There seems to be a data issue. Let me use the dedicated winrate tool for each variant:

Excellent! Now let me get the card lists to understand what differentiates these versions:

Based on the last 30 days of Modern tournament data, Black Eldrazi has the best winrate among Eldrazi ramp variants at 56.1% across 66 non-mirror matches (37-29), compared to Ramp Eldrazi at 48.4% (168-179 in 347 non-mirror matches). Black Eldrazi runs a disruptive shell with Thoughtseize, Nethergoyf, Orcish Bowmasters, and Emperor of Bones alongside the Eldrazi core (Thought-Knot Seer, Kozilek's Command, Eldrazi Temple), plus Urza's Saga for card advantage. This disruption-heavy approach appears better positioned against fast combo decks like Broodscale and Neoform, as well as the prevalent Boros Energy matchup.

Ramp Eldrazi (the traditional Gruul build with Utopia Sprawl, Sowing Mycospawn, and Emrakul) has 10x the sample size but significantly underperformed, posting a losing record overall. Aggro Eldrazi and Breach Eldrazi have too few matches (18 and 5 respectively) to draw reliable conclusions, though Breach Eldrazi's 60% rate is intriguing but needs more data.
