Deck Description

Was wondering what to play in Modern tomorrow (29 January 2016) and settled on this.

*Edit:
-2 Vigor
+2 Sigil Captain
Going through my cards and I found I have two Sigil Captains. They come out sooner than Vigor and gives the Saprolings / Elf Warriors two +1/+1 counters just for entering the battlefield, instead of waiting for them to be dealt damage.

How to Play

While the deck contains the Midnight Presence combo, it actually relies more on Sprout Swarm's interaction with Midnight Guard and Nettle Sentinel. While not as easy to obtain infinite, the untap effects allow for multiple casts, allowing for one to swarm fairly consistently.

BoP is obvious ramp.
Guard and Sentinel both untap for Sprout Swarm and Scatter.
Scatter supplies early creatures to fuel future Sprout Swarm.
Pallid turns blocked, tapped, and summoning sickness Sap's into free Glorious Charge.
Soul Warden gains you life, allowing for less forced blocks to protect the life total.
Sigil Captain makes each token a bigger threat.
Ready (Ready//Willing) both saves from mass removal and provides a global untap, allowing for more Sprout Swarm castings. Also allows for a surprise untap and block.

Deck discussion for Midnight Swarm

Looks solid. Maybe devoted druid and quillspike in the sideboard?

If money permits Archangel of thune and spikefeeder could be a third infinite combo.
