The only thing without pyromancer spending 5 mana on a wheel effect you're better off just running the red command.
9/10 times it wont be the first draw during your turn, and even if it is, if you don't have waste not in play you don't want miracle it, unless you have a bad hand i guess.

I feel whenever you get pyromancer, the deck will be much more consistent, fun deck eother way.

Why not just run 4x NoSB?
Also maybe a few mana rocks to ra.p into it (mind stone or talisman)

You may need to sideboard heavy for burn also.

Because the only way you can "attack" through bridge is with Brian.
Which you have 2 copies of and 0 ways to find him.

So lets say you have this massive army doing nothing at all, how do you beat abzan?
Like if you don't draw brian or he dies you literally just can't win because
A-no way to attack through bridge.
B-no way to get rid of your own bridge to swing with a massive army.

If you say played better creatures like pridemate and a few others in place of bridge or sanctifier.
Your early game wouldn't require you to have bridge to survive.

If you want to go the bridge/brian route you will want 2 things
1. More ways to sift through your deck to find him.
2. Ways to deal with your own bridge to attack with a massive army (o-ring is pretty budget)

On top of that jamming 5-6 drops in a deck with little to no card advantage and 20 lands is really questionable.
You will on average hit 6 lands on turn 9+ which for a format like modern(even for a budget deck) just isn't fast enough.

Because the creaturesyou are playing when compared curve to curve with your opponent are overall weaker on your side chances are there won't be much of a late game.

Not trying to burst your bubble i fully support rouge deck ideas you just asked me to explain.

With bridge being my favorite card ever, it sucks hard in this deck...
Also you need ajani's pridemate.

20 lands and expecting to cast 6 drops in modern seems like a pipe dream.

I feel like reforge the soul seems like too much of a dream.
It will almost never bee the first card you draw and costs way too much.
4x pyromancers ascension is still good in this list.

Honestly this is the only type of deck where waste not stands a chance of being good.
Played a deck like this the first week waste not was legal.

I was lucky to have 4x polluted delta from my old standard deck and 3x watery grave from my older standard deck.
Traded for like 600$ in cards mostly for sideboard.

In the perfect world, fleecemane will be voice of resurgence, but i understand budgets all too well.

Yeah I'm from canada and with our dollar being low compared to USD. Shipping hits us harder than normal.
I have 4x inkmoth i can trade but my wife wants to use them still lol.

Wilted abzan was a deck before eldrazi was a thing, which is basically what this deck is.
it's great in discard heavy metas.

so you having decent results doesn't surprise me.

not trying to take anything away form you just letting you know

Put your commander in the sideboard.

Bloodghast seems really meh without combo cards.

My list is more land destruction based. So not sure how to give imput for yours.
One thing i can say is realms uncharted is a beating with 4 land destruction lands.

(My list on here isnt updated)

Basically without any way for him to filter he is going to end up drawing like say all of on piece or this or that.
He won't be able to reliably draw the combo.

While increasing the number of copies in does increase your chances of drawing the cards, with limited ways to manipulate your draws you're relying too much on luck.

I wasn't trying to be a dick im just very blunt, he opted for a horror sub theme, while i opted for a more control sub theme, i would never judge his choice for that (besides adding main deck spellskite with thing in the ice.) Hexmage is cute but i dont think its worth while.

Between the 100s of builds i have seen from pro players, friends and my own brew not a single player was running 4-4 sword thopter.
You either have 1-1, 2-3 or 3-4. (1-1 is gifts ungiven)

6 thopter lists finished in the top 32 last weekend at the scg event i believe.

The reason you run sieve over works is because with works your creatures dont have sudo haste .
With sieve you get to play lands and make more thopters each turn and can attack with your leftovers.

Iron works requires you to have your creatures live another turn (you could argue that you could make infinite more but lets say you have x life, melira combo goes off for x damage you cant win the game ends in a draw.
With sieve they would have got the extra turn to play an anwser.

Same goes for infect and other combos.

Yeah pbviously every single person who plays magic knows that... i have a thopter combo deck sleeved in modern.
Im running 2 sword 3 thopters no issues.

4x serum vision
4x tezz aob
1x big tezz
3x thirst for knowledge

All help me find them with 0 issues.

Iron works just isn't worth it you're better off running time sieve which is infinite turns for 5 mana.
You can run less swords/foundries if you have ways to tutor for them like "reshape" and big tezz.

But hey, i don't understand the simplest interactions.

Your artifact slot is just scaled terribly.
the ratio for sword combo is sword+1 = # of foundries.
also why run 4 time sieve when you could just run big tezz or reshape...
so drop down to 1 sieve, 2-3 sword, 3-4 foundry.

yeah i have just found red to be MUCH faster as your discard is 1-2 cmc and you have 8- 1 cmc loot effects between neonate and looting.
lotleth is gold also. besides that 12 slots for vengevine, bloodghast and amalgam.
4x for gravecrawler. rest is dredge.

Seems just worse than the jund vine list with prized azmalgan (tool lazy for spelling).
Neonate and looting are just better overall, just add more dredge effects and neonate allows you to dredge turn 1.
