Hands down the best non-Bloodbriar list I have seen. Acknowledges the power of Rancor, the necessity of Tragic Slip, superiority of Bequeathal to any other form of card draw, whilst playing all the necessary support and payoff cards.
Beautiful.

Instead of spellbook I have to argue for Reliquary Tower. Plus congrats on making a deck not legal in any format,

While I love the odd inclusions of Rabblemaster or GDD, or Kalitas that Jund offers. I think that maindeck Liliana, the Last Hope and Chandra, Torch of Defiance are too often better.
But this is a metagame thing I suppose. Rabble spits in the face of planeswalkers in many metagames.

I can completely agree on everything except two things:
1. 3 Ob Nix seems heavy to me in a deck with no mana ramp, it feels too slow for modern, but I would go for it and see how it goes, the reason being that any draw spell that is not an instant or a creature is really slow in modern xD

2. The curse is always either amazing and close to game winning, especially if you can get it on turn 4, or it is the worst card in your deck. And seeing as how your deck already deals with creatures in a beautiful manner, I tend to believe that it would be on the useless side more often than not.

Niiiiiice. I am currently working towards a more budget friendly EDH deck starring this beast. You got it all right I think. Combo, control, ramp, broken old enchantments

Dark Confidant: Fair
Vampire: Fair, I can see that combo being better than flying and deathtouch
lashwrithe: Glad to help
Liliana: Despise? Well, it's not really an argument now is it? I hate planeswalkers as such - all of them, yet I still run them. Emotion plays no part here.
Korlash: Glad to help
Kalitas: Good
Gatekeeper: I think you could afford to cut something for it - make your removal even more diverse, you already have kills for all situations except hexproof and indestructible, Gatekeeper solves both. I guess Zenith does a bit against those, but it requires a lot of mana.
dismember: Fair
phyrexian arena: And you current draw spells were?
Wrench Mind: fair
Fatal push: It's more of a meta thing, a glean from mtggoldfish would indicate that even without revolt it would be good. But your meta might not be that of mtg online. And in all likelihood is not.

Quite to contrary! I tend to be cynical, and vitriol is often present, but not here. Here I think you did a great job.

The problem with that is that this is a Shoal deck afterall, and as such it wants Shoal and it wants Imprisoned in the Moon too

I find testing people's reactions to sarcasm more fun than being boring and polite, especially over the net.
That said, I'm not sure how it'd do in legacy nowadays, but safe tothe saya that Search looks promising and Gearhulk seems justifiable.

It is a sin to play without them. Or it is just the nature of capitalism and the result of a wallet that is just not thick enough.

God it's so refreshing someone who is not an idiot here. You do have 2x Din of the Fireherd in there however.
Seems well built, I'd expect more defensive tools or some other degenerate combo/anything besides the ol' steal and sack.

Why no fixing?
Why not something like Abundant Growth instead of the farseek?

Why not win more games and go down to 60 cards?
In most games, would you rather draw Knight of Glory or Consulate Skygate? The knight, so just cut the wall and increase the chances of drawing the knight.

Repeat the thought process till your deck is 4 times as effective and 60 cards.

Hmm, why 65 cards? And I take it this from cards you have, else there is on reason in the universe to run only 2 bolts, 20 lands when your creatures are as expensive as 6-8 and Ordeal of Heliod

A worthy effort, but I can't see this working in modern. Any reason why the staples are missing?
Dark confidant
Vampire Nighthawk
Lashwrithe
Liliana of the Veil
Korlash
Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
Gatekeeper of Malakir
Dismember
Phyrexian Arena
Wrench Mind

Mutavault+Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

I think you'd want more creatures that mill you as well as more creatures that benefit from you getting milled.
Oh, and a lot few gnaws, the card is only really good against burn or when you are about to turn the corner against an aggressive deck.
As it is, you creatures that win games will be tiny and few, well, see for yourself, the draw sample hand button doesn't lie.
