Deck Description

A deck that I've been working on irl for quite some time. Still need to get some of these cards.

How to Play

Protect yourself and Darksteel Reactor. It's basically you're only way of winning. There is also a chance of you full swinging with Chronozoa, but that's only on rare occasions and I usually use those for blockers anyway.
Anyway, protect yourself and win the game. Fun way to aggravate your friends.

It's a really cool idea but in Modern most decks are so fast that this level of control wouldn't be enough to stall it off. Just my two cents. If it pops though I can see it being very difficult if not impossible to stop. Cryptic Command + Elite Arcanist is a sick combo.

I just play it casually, never actually thought about using it in a modern. Most of my playgroup is fairly passive, and they usually think twice or can't do anything against it once I get out the Elite Arcanist with a Dream Fracture. Then I just play the waiting game.
If you have any other advice for the deck, please let me know. I'm trying to make it work faster.

My advice maybe a few energy chamber and vedalken infuser.

My only problem with Infuser is his cost. He's a four drop, and by that time I'm going to be wanting to play either an Arcanist or a Reactor. If I pull him later on, great, but that's later on. I'll consider him. Energy Chamber however is an excellent idea. Sadly, I'm not sure what to remove to put them in. Can you help me out here?

IMO void stalker because its slightly better than unsummon but 5 mana.

I've actually play tested void stalker and its saved my ass quite a few times. I can maybe drop the number of reactors in the the deck, or arcanists.

Maybe 3 fog banks 3 guard gomazoas 2 gomazoas 4 vapor snag 0 unsummons. Love the advice greenee and if you don't mind I will look at yours if you look at mine only like it if you actually like it though any advice help especially if its good like this.

I'm not a fan of Gomazoas. I prefer Void Stalker for early defense if I can't seem to pull out Fog Banks. Their creature replacement, removal is also an added bonus.
Also, should mention, the last time I played this deck, I got out 200 Chronozoas. Nothing could get through.
Also, took at a look at your deck Greenee. I liked it. Very good ideas there. Keep it up.
