Like said cancel is horrible. Play counterspell just pick the $1 version

As I said above already sure do what is needed to acquire something that works for you. Tho you are very very wrong on the price of counterspells. Tiger has simply selected the Alpha version of the card. You can get a version for about $1 replacing with Cancel is horrible advise. That on extra mana is very relevant and will be a huge factor in many games.
I for one would really like it if people would stop giving bad deck advise solely for the purpose of budget. If someone has the means of using the best cards, (expensive ones) then that's what they should use. Unless the point of the deck is to be a budget build to play some casual games fine.
To be honest I don't think Akoum Flameseeker is worth the splash for red. In it's place a source of removal would probably do more for you. Immolating Glare, Stasis Snare, Gideon's Reproach, Grasp of Darkness are all good options that will be around after rotation. (Since your build looks like it's trying to stay away from Khans and Fate cards.
Nice deck, I'm a fan of pauper. Perhaps Jeskai Student or Jeskai Sage would fit well in this build. I would probably keep Lone Missionary in the side board for this.
Basilisk Collar for pure thyme/flavor. True it's kind of pricey if you care about that.
Very interesting brew I've always loved the ping to destroy with deathtouch synergy. IMO I feel like Stampeding Elk Herdis just to overcosted for what your getting, especially in modern. I'd suggest replacing with Ash Zealot. Hasty if your playing on turn 2. So much hate against Snapcaster and flip Jace. As well as being first strike which works so well with what your doing with deathtouch here. I also think Banefire is much better then Crater's Claws. Just my opinions take it for that. Happy Casting. :)
Solid aggro here. could use some more cheap removal tho. Perhaps Immolating Glare.
Interesting, I never heard of this "Sorcerer" concept.
As for the way this is built right now your mana base is never gonna make this consistent. I see 0 reason for the plains, why are they there? As well I don't see Reaper being worth the splash for black. Sure if your using shock lands and fetch lands but those are $$$. I'm suggesting you cut Reaper and make this G/U only. Replace the 2 Reapers -1 Elixer -1 Grim Monolith for the addition of 4 Coiling Oracle
In that case sure I agree. When it comes to buying sealed product it should be done with the intention of playing the limited format. That's where the value is IMO, think about it in that way. The when you do crack open that sweet money card it's all value. Sitting down and cracking every pack in a booster box is almost never worth it.
It was better wen costed $400. Unless your having trouble purchasing the deck why make it inferior. I really hate this site for it's budgets better mentality.
Well done, what a great suggestion for this deck. Angel's Grace will be that added insurance just in case a aggro deck get a little to big of a jump start on you.
I think you could reliably run this deck with as few as 20 or 21 lands. allowing you to add the 4th Necatl and 1 or 2 Kird Apes into the main.
As previously mentioned you do ave some very good cards here and some that are not so good. In my opinion you have way to many hig cmc cards with little to no ramp to get them out early. If you want this to be modern competitive then you really need to speed things up. I myself run a fairly good Mono Green modern deck. Here's the link if you wanna get any ideas. You need to focus on what you want to do. http://www.mtgvault.com/maniacalmaniac/decks/green-power/
Yup it's wonderful. Had a judge called on me for it on 2 different accounts.
Lava Spike is better then Lightning Strike, Rift bolt is Really good as well. Research // Development is my second favourite thing to stick on a Scepter. ( you can cast the development for 2) It's a bit Janky for modern but man is it fun. LoL
Honestly looks like a great start. The few things I would change are, Replace Dominator Drone with Flayer Drone. And I think your mana curve is way to high for an aggressive deck like this. So I would eliminate Gruesome Slaughter and cut Turn against down to 2. Then add 4x Reaver Drone. If you did make these changes I think you would be able to run 22 lands making room for some removal Grasp of Darkness is pretty good and I think Visions of Brutality is just sweet. A pacifism with a very black twist. These are just my opinions and should be taken as such. Happy Casting.
How did any of my suggestions change the intent, tone or style of this deck in any way? Senress has labelled this a modern deck, one could only assume that it is intended to be played at a modern event. Setting someone up for failure isn't exactly helpful, is it? If the deck tag said casual oppose to modern my original comment would have been different. Finally read the last sentence of my comment to yourself again.
Divinity of Pride is to slow for modern and does nothing the turn it enters. I would replace with 2 more Warden or Attendants. They will help do what you want during the turns which matter most. Then Solemn Offering is going to be a dead card in hand unless your opp is actually playing Artifacts or Enchantments which require you to deal with, making it a side board card possibly 1 main deck. Ajani's Pridemate is actually your best win con even tho you want the Chalice to be, meaning it should be 4 of. Sunbound is setting yourself up to be 2 for 1'd no matter how good it seems to fit. I'm aware Path to Exile is expensive but that's for good reason, it's arguably the best removal in the format. So if you plan on winning against any decent tier 2 or better deck you really should invest into a play set. All that said these are just my opinions and should be taken as that. Happy Casting.
