It doesn't work with the Scepter but Anger of the God's is very strong in this format.

As welll keep in mind the Isochron Scepter you added only works for your bolts and shocks in this deck.

Type: The Rack

Add 4 racks!

If Hold the gates is strictly for vigilance why not run Heliod God?

I love this idea! Make opponent loose by making him cast a pact that he can't pay for. As a suggestion which I'm not sure is worth it or not but perhaps play Cloud Key to get to help get Hive Mind out a turn or 2 earlier.

8 Shocks really?

My mistake I missed the second paragraph on the card.

Modern as a format has a lot of removal. I would suggest Alpha Authority for some hexproof. Perhaps take out Fertile Ground.

I stand corrected and have just read the rulings on what enters before abilities are checked. However in my opinion the wording doesn't seem to allow this. That being said I know what deck I'm building next.

Sorry I stand corrected if you had both Valakuts out then had 10 mountains enter you would deal 30 damage. (which is still really hard to achieve.)

Ummm sorry but your wrong NinjaStyle612. Valakut is worded in a way that does Not deal damage until the 6th mountain enters the battlefield. You must control 5 first. At very most you could deal 15 damage if you managed to get all 10 out which would be really hard even with your Coursers, Explores and Search for tomorrow. If Valakut dealt 3 damage every time a mountain entered the battlefield from that point on, It's value would be in the $20+ range not $2.

My suggestion would be to add Geralf's Messenger and Dark Rituals. As well I would cut Cruel Revival and Call to the Grave which I believe are to expensive for a deck that you should be winning on turn 5 or 6 anyway.

Quick question B/C I'm curious. What creature type would you choose with Adaptive Automaton since artifact is Not legal?
My guess is soldier.

My suggestion would be switch Ancient Grudge for either Shattering Spree or Vandalblast for your artifact hate and try to find room for Rakdos Charm to play against Splinter Twin. Beside those to minor things I give it a +1

Bloodstained mire is not Modern legal

+ a few ratchet bombs in side for battling token decks.

Possibly run 2 Kalastria Highborn and 2 Blood artists since blood artist doesn't require mana for the ability. As well in the sideboard you should think about putting 2 Grafdigger's Cage, in modern there is a lot of graveyard play which is abruptly ended with 1 of them out.

This is a good strategy. If you have the $ or when they get reprinted def switch to Fetch lands. (Bloodstained Mire, Verdant Catacombs, Marsh Flats) This will give the same effect with your land being untapped. As well maybe find room for Blood Artist and maybe even Falkenrath Noble to really get the most out of your "extort" mechanic. Also in side board put 4 Geth's verdict to deal with hexproof and hope you don't play against affinity B/C black has No answers to artifacts.

Or another deck I'm pondering over if you have time, http://www.mtgvault.com/maniacalmaniac/decks/hexproof-enchantment-standard/
