hahahaha that'd be hilarious! It's a black fling.. but better :O

I would try and squeeze it in, but where there's only 3 persy, and the rest of my creatures are lame, it seem kind of like a waste D:

Bob and tombstalker are wayyy too ballsdeep together for me :/ I like being able to go into the tank, knowing that my draw cannot kill me if I'm at 4 life, no matter what. But with tombstalker, that's a gamble.

and I actually picked up a playset after I saw spellskite in a list.. like.. THAT'S SO GOOD!

That will be the next deck I attempt to break, haha. Skinshifter is so good in it, too... 0/8... WHUDDUP?

Well, I mean, it's only really the 'bigger body' aggro match ups that can hurt me. Like, doran, for example, is slightly tougher than say caw blade, or delver. I feel like if I gave up Bob just to help out one matchup, it's not really worth it. Most of the format is delver, and having Bob in there to help me out vs those, as opposed to removing him for decks which aren't as common, seems a bit counter-productive.

I actually might try Doran, though. Spellskite + doran = hilarity.

he seems really anti synergetic, though. I mean, if I remove lands my knights get worse, and if i remove souls that's just lame haha.

if anything, I feel baneslayer would be cool, but I'm too scared of bob haha.
and by big body, I mean like, bigger than 1 toughness. like black zombies or ww.

overall I love the deck, and it's definitely been worth the investment. :)

minimize mana curve D: with bobs I try and be really careful. :/
Thanks man (: it's only real problem is like, bigger aggro. Like, weenies aren't a problem, but actual haste-based strategies are hard.

A lot of the zoo decks maindeck 4 now.
4 lion, 4 ape, 4 goyf, 4 lynx, 4 thalia. possibly 4 guide aswell.

Thalia is a bop, no doubt. But I think the Junk list I've got going now is what I feel is best suited to take on the field. If you wouldn't mind taking a look, I think it's at its final 75.

I just took all the best cards (in my opinion) and put them in one deck, lol.

This is in response to everyone's comments;
@ima_BAMF the white is mainly for resources.

@SWN, budget isn't really a thing for either of us. He's not really a fan of the shaman builds, and after testing it a lot, myself, it's actually not that powerful in Modern. D:
I also really dislike the ball lightning/groundbreaker, but believe it or not, they've bopped me quite a few times. I hate the triple mana cost, but with a slight tweak of the mana base, they shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the advice, man! He appreciates it (:

@w&b; I think he plans on boarding an extra 2, just because game 1 he plans to race.
and again, he's not a fan of shaman :(

cut the doomed travelers for 1 more vapor snag and 1 more leak and you're in business!

then just go -1 island +1 moorland and it looks lovely (:

alright, well, in regards to comments above, do NOT run any amount of fiend hunters whatsoever. In delver, they're just weak.

So, I've never really played delver, but I understand it fairly well, and there are a few things that delver wants.

first off, for creatures I'd definitely include some amount of phantasmal images - they just get rid of everything you need, and can copy flipped delvers, or anything! with hunt master being huge it's also really good, and even better up against zombies. On that note, you could cut snapcasters down to 3, and geist to 1 (a lot of people expect geist, so he's not really a blow out anymore.)

divine offering, mutagenic growth, and 1 midnight haunting can all go. offering is good, but not THAT good, and you definitely don't need 3 vapor snag.

what you do want, is 1 runechanter's pike, 2 more gather the townsfolk, and maybe a 3rd mana leak.

i'd toy around with the numbers, but in the sideboard celestial purge, mortarpod, and leonin relic warder could all be useful.

thanks for the shoutout! but believe it or not, i'm relatively out of standard xD

But, surprisingly enough, now this deck is amazing. <3 I love it.

dismember seems as though it would kill less than smother :O i mean smother kills bob, knight, goyf, delver, snapcaster. clique, hawk, any token - it kills everything I feel is relevant, even deceiver exarch and pestermite :O
plus dismember kind of hurts me, in the sense that this deck is fairly suicidal - fetches, thoughtseize and bob :O thats why i swapped out elspeth for sorin (:
and the double black on victim makes it less appealing to me :(

I chose smother over gftt because affinity is a very real deck, and smother hits all the relevant threats in modern, besides iona and what not, but there's pte for that (: And if they name white, maelstrum pulse :'D

i dropped the skuller and dryad arbor for 2 zealous persecution, because they're just ridiculous o.o

yeah, i was actually thinking about cutting a snap daddy, but molten rain is too good to drop :( v.s. tron it's a life saver, and there are so many balls-deep decks out there tht run shady landbases that they really are just too good.


I realized I'm actually not a delver fellow, and am working harder on my junk deck for modern :O

the deck actually originally started out on that route, but I didn't have enough room for what I wanted D:

@dag THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING! who knows, it'd might be too janky, but omggggg sooooo goooood.

this deck.. is extremely hard to play. holy god, I need to grind out so matches with this one.
Also, I feel as though the numbers need to be changed, but i'm not sure how. Countryside crusher is kind of lame... :(
we'll see.
