A deck focused on generating Eldrazi Spawn tokens would benefit from including Hand of Emrakul, as it offers a powerful creature with the potential for a reduced mana cost through sacrificing these tokens. However, in competitive play, there are likely better Eldrazi creatures with more impactful abilities or easier casting costs that would be prioritized over Hand of Emrakul. Still, in a casual or thematic Eldrazi deck, this card could definitely see play for its flavor and potential synergy with token generation strategies.
