I think [[Prized Amalgam]] works better than [[Reassembling Skeleton]]. I also think that if you're trying to trigger [[Silversmote Ghoul]] and [[Griffin Aerie]] you should run [[Basilica Bell-Haunt]] and [[Oath of Kaya]].

I wonder if [[Drana, the Last Bloodchief]] would be better than [[Sengir Vampire]].

I also think [[Immersturm Predator]] is too good to not play in the Rakdos aggro/midrange decks. It is a hell of a finisher.

Is there a spot to be found for [[Voldaren Ambusher]]? The card seems pretty solid as a removal spell on a stick.

I honestly like a 1 main 3 side split. Test of Talents is incredible when it's good, but downright terrible when it's bad.

A good example is against Mono Green Aggro it's not that good, but against Izzet Dragons it's incredible.

Why did you necro this deck? It's clear that this user hasn't updated this deck at all since Simian spirit guide was banned.

I'm not sure if splashing white is possible, but [[Powerstone Minefield]] seems like good casual fun with [[Trove of Temptation]].

Prismatic Bridge decks benefit greatly form [[Brainstorm]] effects and top of library manipulation to make sure you don't draw your big dumb creatures.

If there are no budget concerns I would suggest;
Mirri's Guile
[[Sylvan Library]]
Sensei's Divining Top
[[Jace, the Mind Sculptor]]
[[Cavalier of Gales]]
[[Brainstone]]
[[Conch Horn]]

These will help you put the bombs that you draw back on top of your library to hit off of bridge.

I apologize for not linking a couple cards, but the coding won't allow me to link cards with apostrophes in their name.

I don't know if Lurrus is worth playing over the [[Kaldra Compleat]] and [[Sword of Fire and Ice]] with Stoneforge package. You also lose the ability to play the [[Grief]]-[[Ephemerate]] combo. I think in a competitive setting, the Griefblade package is too good to pass up with this stratagem.

It's a good idea, but I think playing Stoneforge for anything less than a Sword of X and Y just isn't worth it if you're not hammertime. You could try playing more Urza's Saga to find your 1 drop equipment. You could try [[Kitesail Freebooter]] in the Stoneforge slot.

Either way, I'm a huge fan of Dead Guy Ale decks and I wish you luck.

I'm surprised this deck isn't playing [[Dakmor Salvage]]. I also think this deck would benefit from 1 or 2 copies of [[Conflagrate]].

Always a fan of lands matters decks in modern.

I think Elementals is a great casual fnm deck. While BUG is a great color combination, Elementals specifically loses a lot of value by not playing red. From the [[Omnath, Locus of the Roil]] to the [[Chandra, Acolyte of Flame]], [[Risen Reef]] engine.

You can even go the [[Thunderkin Awakener]], [[Spark Trooper]] route.

Unfortunately, as boring an answer as it is, [[Omnath, Locus of Creation]] is probably the best elemental printed to date. it shores up your aggro match ups, draws a card, ramps you and acts as removal if you can hit that 3rd land drop.

It is my opinion that the core of any Pioneer Elementals list starts with;

4 [[Leafkin Druid]]
4 [[Sylvan Caryatid]]
4 [[Risen Reef]]
4 [[Omnath, Locus of Creation]]
2-3 [[Omnath, Locus of the Roil]]
4 [[Chandra, Acolyte of Flame]]

But that's just like, my opinion man.

If you're trying to trigger Marit Lage's Slumber, I think it would be better to play white for [[On Thin Ice]], since it is a snow permanent for Slumber and a removal spell. I would also consider finding a spot for [[Scrying Sheets]], it's [[Frost Augur]] but as a land. Playing bant instead of sultai also gives you access to [[Prismatic Ending]] and [[Teferi, Timer Raveler]].

I like the idea, so +1.

Yeah, cards like [[Shrieking Affliction]], [[The Rack]], and [[Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage]] are pretty good in discard decks.

Fair. I'm greedy as heck in modern. 4 or 5 colours, all day long. Triomes helped tremendously.

It's things like this that make me miss blocks. On the one hand, I think the new rotation is better for standard. On the other hand, I wish there were more sets per plane to explore mechanics like venture more.

I'm not sure about mana bases in pauper, but would [[Distant Melody]] be worth it? I know [[Gemhide Sliver]] is good in edh, but not so sure about pauper.

I think this would be fine after a couple of tweaks. I would just play 4 Delver, 4 [[Sedgemoor Witch]] and 2-3 [[Demilich]].
Then I would load up on the control package. Things like [[Poison the Cup]] and [[Infernal Grasp]] are excellent removal spells. Even [[Power Word Kill]] is pretty good since there aren't to many things it doesn't kill at the moment. I have a somewhat similar deck put together at the moment. it does exactly okay.

I don't think it's particularly good, but you could [[Irencrag Feat]] to try to put a 7/7 Endless one into play, or turn 4 a Bane of Bala Ged.

I mean, to be fair, it's not card that many play in casual edh groups. It tends to to turn a deck into a "kill on sight" deck. It definitely dials up the power of an edh deck.

If you're unconcerned about format, [[Blazing Shoal]] and cards like [[Searing Wind]] and [[Blasphemous Act]] will just one shot someone.
