Hey, really cool deck. I love decks with super low mana curves! One change I'd make if the budget allows is adding vexing devil instead of Niv elemental - he seems a bit counterproductive since you have to exile your own spells, n doesn't benefit the pike-carrier. For more fun, try throwing in 2-3x fling, an unblockable heavy hitter attacks, then gets flung - epic :P

hadnt considered fling though, might switch it with downpour.
I like niv-elemental, whenever he gets countered he can eat my spells that wouldnt have resolved anyways. Also, an early devil almost always is just 4 to the face. This deck really only uses burn for removal, as it can deal lots of damage around blockers.
Also, this deck is extremely low budget aside from the lands (already had those)
I am also a fan of the low mana curve, one question why unsumon and not vapor snag?
Because vapor snag isn't standard legal anymore. Nice deck, the spells are so cheap I'd even consider cutting a land or two?

I don't think so, 21 is a pretty low land count already. This deck really needs to play a land the first 3 or so turns so I can pop a bunch of instants at once. Only thing I had really considered was adding some draw spells, but they need to be cheap. Think twice doesn't help cause I have to flashback it for card advantage, so doesn't help pike.
Considering Faithless Looting to dump spells into graveyard and increase spell selection(eliminate extraneous evasion and lands)
Considering faithless looting. Can put instants/sorcerys into graveyard, can ditch extra lands if i draw too many, helps get the best combinations of spells(want to cast a pump/burn and a evasion/block clear, 2 evasion is extraneous, no evasion=no damage). But what to cut?

Please leave a pertinent comment or dont make one, not just "hey come comment on this unrelated deck" I dont mind people leaving deck links in their comments, as long as the comment actually makes sense and is helpful, Or if the deck linked is a similar idea, like if you had, say, a U/W deck that also used stalker+instants+pike with St. Traft, because then the link is helpful, or at least has a purpose. But when you say check this out, heres my high cmc creature-based modern ramp deck off a different color that you're going to post without a comment on my deck, which is a standard deck based on cheap, evasive creatures+runechanters pike supported by tempo-oriented spells(about as far apart as you can be), and post for no apparent purpose, it p!$$e$me off. People like you who leave their links to bad decks everywhere, then brag when your deck makes front page because so many people commented on how much they dislike it, are what this and sites like it.
