looks good. marsh flats is super cheap,
liliana, of the veil could be pretty nasty here.

12 creatures ^_^

cyclonic rift def seems good, and could be worth testing.
trying to keep the mana curve as low as i can though, even the 2 mana on azorius charm bugs me. but it does so much, its definitely worth while.

but yeah modern does seem fun. im a complete and total newb when it comes to it though. haha.
just trying to get into the format now pretty much. i love that you dont have to buy duels. and im so used to legacy, building a deck for modern is a whole new, and fun experience.

yeah good point/ my buddy landon was the first, of our group, to really get into pushing control decks and prison/ land destruction decks. so basically we had to up our game to deal with his concoctions.
eventually most our friends quit playing magic becuase they were sick of landon rocking them. haha

agreed. ethan was explaining to me on another list, shadow of doubt, basically being moderns stifle, shutting down fetch lands. but im not sure if a 2 mana stifle is worth it. although it does cantrip and thats pretty great.

another biggy is serum visions and sleight of hand are NOWHERE near as powerful as ponder or brainstorm. neither help flip delver, and they both baaarely help my draws.

i saw U/w tempo list running pride of the clouds, delver, judges familiar, squadren hawk , spectral possession, midnight haunting that looked bad ass. i might end up trying something like that

i agree. not owning goyf is killing me. the lack of real cantrips is killing me. the lack of wasteland, daze, force is killing me.
hahahaha.

the beauty of hymn is that random effect.
i cant count the amount of times iv had hymn played on me and in my hand of 5-7 cards that random effect manages to get exactly what i need >:[ wrench mind isnt bad though, and is still technically card advantage so i cant argue with that.

but ok ok, i can see birds rounding this out a little bit. cant argue with ramping into liliana or helping out with abrupt decay/ ghast/ wrench mind casting costs. on top of other things

something is confusing me. it says theres 6, 3 mana cards in the curve.
iv been staring at this list for a few minutes and i only see liliana costing 3..
am i going crazy?

unless your deck doesn't contain the cards you need to win.
fundamentally combo decks function in a specific way. like i said
you need to

find your combo.
resolve/protect your combo.
and thats it.
and your deck does neither.

this list is bad ass.
your mana curve is killing it though, and your only 2 colors. is 4 birds necessary?

yeah i dont understand why people wouldnt be playing abrupt decay. i dont know about modern but in legacy its such a complete hoser, i run into that thing constantly.

this deck looks cool though, and original. at least i have seen a list quite like this before.
flame jab and thoughtscour seem kinda janky. also 4 life from then loam might be unnecessary unless your really trying to play off seismic assault.
i dont know much about modern though

if you guys could, i could really use some help crafting this modern deck for an upcomming gp. like i said i dont really know jack about modern so i could really use some advice

etched champion is the best thing this deck has going for it.
both platinum emperium and platinum angel are garbage cards that are very easily answered
in certain builds their abilities can be relevant, but here, emperium is just a shitty overpriced waste of space.
