Deck Description

This is a typical Balance Deck. Inspiration was taken from every and any Gargadon Balance Deck I could find in the internet.

How to Play

The deck is Modern Legal. I chose to run more creatures (Court Hussar and Riftwing Cloudskate) since the Modern playing field will have more creatures and it sucks when you have to push the panic button just on turn 4.
The deck should give you comfort to set up until turn 5-6. Court Hussar serves as my substitute (roughly) for tutors and draw while I used Riftwing Cloudskate instead of the typical Beast Within main board.
Finally, I chose to forego March of the Machines in Favor of two (2) Tezzeret's and two (2) Gideon's. The set up worked quite well in my play group.
While trying out the "Draw Sample Hand" feature, I was pretty much happy with every draw iteration.
Sideboard is pretty much self-explanatory. Against counter magic, I will play Boom//Bust while Blood Moon and Leyline of Singularity should respond to all my other weak match ups.
Basically, if the opponent's wincon doesn't bite by turn 5, I'd win 80% of the time.
