Why does everyone keep on trying turn the beloved Zoo Burn that you've got here into boring linear burn?! Don't change it!! This is the same 60 (almost the same 75!) to a deck I've been working on (not posted on here just on my phone) so keep me posted on how it goes!

Swan Song isn't as good as spell pierce or dispel, Spell Pierce is great because against twin, mana is always tight, and your opponent has to respect your combo and keep up an instant speed removal spell, which is where dispel is awesome
I would personally try and fit in two Vendillion Clique, it gets rid of a removal card that they could use on your combo, or lets you dig a little deeper into your own deck, it also becomes a pretty nice beat stick for those games where twin doesn't want to come out and play
Further to my point that you can drop twin into any modern deck and its usually pretty awesome... TADAAAAAA http://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-living-twin-20753#paper This deck went 3-1 on MTGO, which is a solid result.
Actually, after extensive research of Tarmo-Twin on both channel Fireball, Star City Games and watching pro-level magic, its usually the goyf part that wins the game, twin is there as a threat and an instant win sometimes
Oh really? I totally hadn't realised.. oh no wait shut up. FEEL THE SASS BITCH! You were bitching about exarch, I put you in your place and now you're back tracking, just remain silent.
OK, those saying that Twin can't be put into different decks are hilariously wrong. Gerry Thompson put several articles about decks going 4-0 on MTGO with Twin shoved into Abzan CoCo because strangely enough, Twin can be a turn 4 "Oh look I win" which is pretty awesome in any deck, and this whole moaning about how you aren't going to win because you aren't focused on one particular strategy- TARMO-TWIN! 2 People played tarmo-twin at the World Championship so the ideology is quite clearly awesome and powerful. This is an innovative take on that idea which has a lot of potential so actually turning round and bitching how its going to lose and you're so much better at this game because look at me I know how to classify things is really quite unhelpful. Modern is such a diverse format that mash ups can and do work because they have the solid roots of one deck, burn for example, and the potential to just win on the spot, splinter twin for example. Oh look wait, a Twin-Burn deck that I shall christen Splinter Bolt ! Stop hating about innovating on pro decks, it works.
if you got the Mesa, you might as well use them
You know shit has hit the fan when Gothy gets so mad (and happy with some of you, looking at you Zaklax) he returns for a bit. Not dying to bolt makes creature resilient to 1 of the 3 most played removal spells in modern (Bolt, Path and Decay IMO) Personally I would like to see a Jeskai build, but that's a different deck. I like that you've gone with the tarmo-twin aspect to attack from a different angle although with 21 land I am not sure about Shard Volley! I think you should take advantage of having access to path, because it is awesome to have bolt and path available turn 1. Now onto a little rant, to the gentleman that is using truly foul, and sometimes racist, language with no idea about how to play magic, stop screaming abuse and rubbish at players who actually know what they are talking about. Exarch is the best twin creature, because strangely, it survives bolt and blocks well against most creatures that you care about- kitchen finks for example. Although I'm not sure what you gents have done to my good bye deck/article, I'll let it slide for now ;) Keep doing what you're doing, unless you're being a racist loud mouth with nothing to say :) To quote Moriarty- Miss me?
Actually I've played Mardu since Khans, and Doom is the best sleeper in standard, its waking up right now but it needs to be a play set
I would cut 2 mardu charms, 1 for a murderous cut because unconditional 1 mana removal is awesome and possibly an ultimate price?
wouldn't have said either, Mardu is 100% not a modern staple, its a fringe aristocrats deck. Hero's blade doesn't fit considering the lack of legendary creatures and it doesn't really have an impact
Well I came 3rd with a terrible pool and got 21 packs in prizes and for the event! So I have most of my origins stuff now!
I think if you're casting life from the loam and looting you might as well cut a few land for maybe vengevine or golgari grave troll, I quite like the troll here since you have Loam and Tasigur which also adds a little bit of speed to the deck, modern midrange isn't really my thing because I quite like combo in modern xD
So you got one of my colours correct, but missed the main one I used, funnily enough there was a way to deal 10 damage on turn 3 in my deck, I managed it in round 4 game 3
OK well I can tell you you are incorrect in where I placed, actually with my performance, none of that was right weirdly enough!
3 colours is not really a good idea in sealed and with a singular evolving wilds as fixing and wanting to play rogue's passage, I just couldn't go jund and the thought never crossed my mind
Northy, you said you wanted to do a competitive tournament, I just did a sealed PPTQ, this might interest you: http://www.mtgvault.com/gothy/decks/brainstorming-another-thing/
