No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Modern haste-aggro

I would kick out white, the only cards it supports aren't even aggro.

What kind of budget is your buddy looking at, because he could turn this thing into one hell of a sleek Naya Toolbox. I also don't think I like the Ball Lightning/Ground Breaker set up in here, it ruins the flow of the whole deck, and with triple colored mana requirements, they add a substantial amount of mana burden...something a deck like this can't handle. Finally, his manabase needs to be adjusted. With how much white is being splashed, he doesn't need to run that single Plains. I would take that out and put in a Horizon Canopy.

Hope that helps your buddy =]

My first instinct is playing a third Thalia, I've been royally boned by seeing her on turn two plenty of times.
It's not pretty.

Second one is to drop the idea of it being a haste deck, and making it a bit more Shaman-esque. I can't say this is unbiased, because toolboxes are my crack. I also just don't see haste-aggro being all that effective right now.

I'm going to have to agree with Sure about the manabase, if your friend wants keep haste-aggro as the focus, he's going to need the manabase to support it better.

This is in response to everyone's comments;
@ima_BAMF the white is mainly for resources.

@SWN, budget isn't really a thing for either of us. He's not really a fan of the shaman builds, and after testing it a lot, myself, it's actually not that powerful in Modern. D:
I also really dislike the ball lightning/groundbreaker, but believe it or not, they've bopped me quite a few times. I hate the triple mana cost, but with a slight tweak of the mana base, they shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the advice, man! He appreciates it (:

@w&b; I think he plans on boarding an extra 2, just because game 1 he plans to race.
and again, he's not a fan of shaman :(

I can dig it, Shaman does seem like it's specifically engineered to hate on a few decks that aren't really making up much of the meta right now.

Thalia at a playset is one of those things I've heard about people doing, but I've never met an aggro-player who was a dick enough to do it. A three:two split with Thalia and Teeg however... I scooped man.

A lot of the zoo decks maindeck 4 now.
4 lion, 4 ape, 4 goyf, 4 lynx, 4 thalia. possibly 4 guide aswell.

Thalia is a bop, no doubt. But I think the Junk list I've got going now is what I feel is best suited to take on the field. If you wouldn't mind taking a look, I think it's at its final 75.

I just took all the best cards (in my opinion) and put them in one deck, lol.

Tell him it's not about the mana base. Two triple colored cards of differing colors in a deck, regardless of if it can hope to cheat them in with Bloodbraid are putting in a substantial amount of mana burden. He could do so much better with another Pridemage or two, maybe a pair of Teegs, hell he could put in two KoTR (which would also smooth out the splash a bit more). Of course, if he truly wants to stick to the idea of a haste-aggro, then fleshing out the Ram-Gang wouldn't hurt, but like WnB and I have said, it's not entirely the best option. Again, hope this helps =]
