im afraid this deck is gunna be too slow to keep up with other stuff in modern. you have no way to search out emrakul or banefire, and no way to stop anything the opponent is doing. so basically, you will sit there until the opponent kills you, because his or her strategy has a higher statistical chance of hitting.

in order to make this deck work, you need something to speed it up

opal palace was an accident. I meant it to be nykthos.

abundance is an interesting idea, ill think it over.

triumph of ferocity is good.

lurking predators takes too long to be effective for my taste. since I don't have any ramp in here other than nykthos, I prolly wont be able to play it till turn 9, so I would rather have something that lets me do something earlier.

the purpose of giant growth and the like is to let a creature live through something that would kill it with damage. whether it be for a block, or a bolt or whatever. that's why I don't have too many of them. same thing with ranger's guile.

blanchwood armor just makes your creature a target, and then you are down 2 cards. ive never had a blanchwood win me the game more than it gets taken out. same thing with keen sense. I don't want a creature that has to be blocked every turn, I want the 2 cards.

ive already got lightning greaves in, but ill consider alpha authority

if he wants to play it modern, that's fine. it could be legacy pretty easily too.

fabricate is only too slow if you have a torpor orb and a heartless summoning already, which is incredibly unlikely. otherwise, you need more mana and as there is no way but lands in here, so in fact, fabricate is exactly what you need.

myr superion (2) and heartless summoning (3). chances of that coming together without any search or fast draw are pretty slim. not worth running.

using remand as a timwalk is fine and dandy and all, but if he is trying to use it to protect the orb or creatures that will be sided in with haste, he would be better with a counterspell. especially when they see remand early in the first game. if they don't see it early, then its not as effective, so the difference is negligible on its worth

im sorry to say that torpor orb wont work for myr superion. his effect isn't an ability.

as you are playing a combo deck that needs artifacts, it is absolutely essential that you run 4 fabricates. that will speed this deck up tremendously, as it can fetch any part of the combo.

phyrexian dreadnought is a must in here as well.

I would consider running 4 stifles, as they do the same thing as the orb and can also be used to mess up the opponent.

heartless summoning isn't good enough to deserve a spot in here. you don't need your 1-4 drops to cost 0-2. the whole point of the deck is to play fast creatures, and they work that way anyway as long as you have the orb out or stifle.

remand isn't the best choice for a counter, as the opponent can just play it again if he has enough mana. if its countering a counterspell or whatever, if they have 2 more mana, you will still get countered as they can replay it as soon as remand exists the stack.

unfortunately this deck relies too heavily on counterbalance with no way to make sure you have it in play. library of leng gives you absolutely no advantage early game if you don't have counterbalance, and you have no search methods for counterbalance. You also don't really have that much draw power that can be accessed early game

I have played against and have played both merfolk and goblins. that's why I have 16 removal spells that can be played in time deal with their pesky shit

its got answers for planeswalkers, combos, effect creatures, muscle creatures, and control. plus its got enough beef to do some fast damage but enough longevity to handle a middle and late game. it doesn't specialize, but its flexible

unfortunately primalcrux costs too much. a 6 drop wont hit the field in time to matter, and it will give the opponent way too much time to respond, which isn't good.

the hydra is better, but unfortunately not reliable. as this deck is creature heavy, the opponent will respond with lots of removal, and if they remove the green, its basically useless. I would rather stick with the sure thing which will be more reliable over time

thanks for the feedback though

it happens mate. I think it enables some of the best combos in magic, but that's just me

good zombie for sure, but doesn't really fit the theme here. he would just act as a chump blocker twice basically, which I don't really need with all the removal and reoccurrence and token production. the hammers in this deck are the liege and carrion feeder, and there are just SOOOOO many ways to get them in gear.

thanks for the feedback though

chump blockers, aura targets, continuous target for rancor which means continuous draw from spiritdancer. in a deck with only 14 creatures, its deadly

unfortunately this deck's mana curve needs a little work. you only have 4 2drop knights, which is no good. all those 3 drops will clog your hand, and are too easy to justify a murder spell on. plus you have overlooked some of the best knights. knight of the meadowgrain is an absolute must. the life gain you can get off of him is enough to win games. leonine skyhunter wouldn't be too bad either.

you don't need 8 wrath spells. I know you are going for the indestructible sweep, but it will only work once and its not that useful if you already have board control. you are better off with 4 wrath spells and some bonesplitters and oblivion rings. you need some 1drops and removal options

you need more lands. EDh is harder to be consistent with land because of the spread of so many cards. I usually run 37-40
