With Annihilater and All is Dust, you shouldn't have a problem with any creature type. Especially if Tentacruel is the first Eldrazi you cast from hand (the extra turn is nice).

I'm not too sure about Dread Statuary. Personally I'd rather cast another Eldrazi than animate a land.

You are correct. The reason I chose the Grapeshot option is I already have them. I don't have any Bitter Ordeals :( I'm also trying to keep budget friendly (for now).

No problem. I was actually thinking, you could keep the Vesuva, it can copy an Urza land.

Hmmm... Cloudpost is banned in Modern, you could replace them, Glimmerpost and Vesuva with Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant and Urza's Tower for similar mana boost.

I also think you should add Expedition Map as it can search for any land, not just basic lands, thus allowing you to search for the missing land pieces if you chose to use the Urza lands.

I actually like this :) Looks almost like a Standard attempt making something similar in "ouch-ness" to Legacy's dreaded Affinity.
I don't have the cards for this, but if i did, I'd run it for FNM :p

Ya, Green Sun is banned (my friend moans about that every time the conversation turns to Modern)

I actually like Evolution Charm's versatility. I can either use it to search for a land or return a creature card from my graveyard to hand. And the option of flying (if need be) is a welcome affect in those odd situations where flying mite be a problem.

I keep forgetting bout the Vials :|

I think you should look into a deck type called "Solar Flare". There's a standard legal version that's pretty much what you're looking to do here, just with the addition of blue for counters and Forbidden Alchemy. You should also think of using Day of Judgment. I run a 4 colour (WUBG) 'Reanimator' in standard and find that Merfolk Looter works a lot better than Zombie Infestation. I assume Lilli is in here for her discard affect. With that being a +1 ability, she should stick around for a while, so take it down to 2x (3x at most). Elesh Norn and Sheoldred are legendary, so in my version I only run 1 of each in case it's Sheoldred doing the revival. I don't want to lose either just because the only creature in my grave is a legend I already have in play. Titans and Wurmcoil Engine are nice BIG standard legal creatures to reanimate, I don't have Wurmcoils, so I run Massacre Wurms instead. Now the reason I run green is to use Viridian Emissary as a blocker to ramp mana and Mulch to help fill my grave with creatures to reanimate.

Tempo? What's that? (Just joking :p ) All I did was apply my general patter for building an agro deck. The only thing I haven't done is the final part of my deckbuilding method, playtesting (I don't have the cards to test this)

Thanks. You should put this together :) I only wish I had the cards to put it together myself :(

Unfortunately that won't work. Removing Neverending Torment from the grave doesn't remove the "Epic" affect.

With the creatures that are Dragon by default costing 4, the Shaman seems useless to me. I associate cards Like Seething Song with Dragonstorm, so I tried to avoid them. I feel I should point out that the mana from Braid of Fire can only be used in the upkeep step, a lot of people tend to miss that part about the card.

It's not Modern legal, hence the use of Adaptive Automaton.

That is a downside, but I've witnessed first hand how much of a positive thing it is in a Treefolk deck. So much of a positive that the negative downside is overshadowed by it. All I'm saying is give it a try if you can.

With such a low mana curve, I feel I won't need much creature removal. I've already got Geth's Verdict and Gatekeeper of Malakir. If I where to use a targeted removal spell, I'd probably replace my Geth's Verdicts with Dismembers :p

Like I said in the description of my Vamp deck, I've never made or played with a Vamp deck before, so I can't suggest much. Surgical extraction mite be a good cards to add, you do have kill and some discard :p

Mana cost of Bloodline Keeper is not to my liking. When I make tribal, I like to keep the mana costs 2 or less with minimal 3 costs (mostly for lords).

I didn't?? Interesting. I just used Gatherer to get a list of all Modern legal Vamps and built a deck using those, I didn't look at what sets the vamps came from. Sorry about that :p

Never been fond of proliferate, so i tend to not look at proliferate cards when designing a deck :|
