well darius in casual play yes, when you get into metagame its different. the stronger cards usually cost more. im not saying the price of magic is fair, but it is skewed so that the cards that make you win more, cost more. just because cards cost more does not mean you aren't putting in strategy and deckbuilding

RUG control is where its at! thats usually winning through scapeshift though...

im not hating... i comment on lots of warlords decks, i was telling him to spend some money on himself as a funny.....
i play in GP's/PTQ's/big FNM's so i spend more.

$10-$20 is a bit too budget to be competitive.... why not splurge on yourself and go $100

whats your budget for this deck? id recommend
+4 lightning helix
+4 lightning bolt
+4 glacial fortress
+4 evolving wilds
+4 glacial fortress
+3 dissolve

as a start.
is still in a affordable range. your creature base is overpriced. some of the cards may be good in standard, but modern is a different format

would not be a bad land base at all. its a bummer fairie conclave comes in tapped, cause a 2/1 with flyer that isnt a permanent creature is strong, and i like the cryptic because you can pick two, like you can counter a spel and bounce a creature.
still think your deck is strong as listed. i would playtest it as is and see what you want to change from there

hey we have similar suggestions!
im on a urza manland-kick right now, have had really good luck running treetop village and faerie conclave

so heres what id change- not saying its supierior, just what id run it as-
+3 cryptic command
+4 snapcaster mage
+3 fairie conclave
+3 anger of the gods

man, well you are beating me by a few years. i started during mirridion/kamigawa standard, but have only played in tournaments competitively since shards

its all good, its fun because of the larger pool of cards to choose from

i just felt most people who play modern know that you can combo kikki/resto for a win, i mean its not like thats a secret combo alot of decks run that as their win con, including UWR twin

Thanks! yea its alot harder to make consistant when i restrict the cards to the modern format, but im attempting!

lol this cvonversation digressed quickly... all in good fun i assume

i think since its a kikki deck its just implied, i mean that is a well known combo...

im guessing this is for casual use, in which case do whatever you want 'cuse i have no idea what you will ever play against...

cool deck! i have been trying to find a way to make this work in modern-

ok... you win

I guess I was looking for the twister and reforge. Not saying its bad, I'd just build it closer to control, entreat the angels is good by itself

So I've only seen a few of your decks... But you are awesome at design. Even decks that are pretty set in stone you have a nice twisdt on. I like

oh i wouldnt cut him at all, i just was throwing it out as another option. the deck looks fine as is, just playtest ideas!
your build is solid
