303.4f
If an Aura is entering the battlefield under a player’s control by any means other than by resolving as an Aura spell, and the effect putting it onto the battlefield doesn’t specify the object or player the Aura will enchant, that player chooses what it will enchant as the Aura enters the battlefield. The player must choose a legal object or player according to the Aura’s enchant ability and any other applicable effects.

303.4i
If an effect attempts to put an Aura onto the battlefield enchanting an object or player it can’t legally enchant, the Aura remains in its current zone.

Remind me again how targeting an opponent's hexproof anything works? Who's the newbie now?

I've actually been debating snapcaster but I haven't had any issues with having no counters in hand

True. Running homing allows for lots of one offs that you can get as needed. My personal favorite thing to do is drop a genesis wave. That always makes my opponent cringe a little

I take it you've never played against slivers then. I have stuff like this IRL and it kicks ass against pretty much everything. Elves and goblins are good, not saying they aren't, but slivers aren't anything to just diss like that. I learned to play magic against legacy slivers with a modern Zendikar vampire deck that could beat anything it faced, but no matter what I tried the slivers always won. That's why the general strategy with them is literally "step 1: play land, step 2: cast slivers, step 3: profit"

reflecting pool? hell if this was more creature based i would say ancient ziggurat. there's mana confluence too if you want to go there. thats all the mana fixing you need with 4 cavern of souls and sliver hive already in the deck

Magus of the Coffers is also a good idea

Or you happen to sneak out a rain of gore and start trying to "heal" them

Except that doesn't work either. The aura targets when it enters play, so it doesn't matter if it's cast or returned via an effect. It still cannot target a hexproof permanent

I have a buddy who plays a modern G/R dragons and I've played my standard mardu midrange against it. I run a full set of charm and crackling doom and believe me, they come in handy. I'm still looking for a specific modern build that is versatile enough to warrant taking it apart and rebuilding it to modern, but once I do, I plan to run a full set of crackling doom. I've toyed with many ideas but none seem strong enough to hold up in modern yet as a competitive threat

Exactly. Although I was rather disappointed that Narset didn't see hardly any play at all, but ojutai really stupid out. I personally liked that exchange of Dragonlords that happened lol

Considering ojutai was the single most played card at pro tour dragons of tarkir, I disagree

It does, but so does an outburst followed by a Dragon fodder

Exactly. It's still well within budget constraints, plus if you bought a lot of Khans them you will likely have a few already anyways

Hordeling outburst is better than goblin rally. Yeah it's one less token, but it's also 2 less mana. A mana that could turn your inferno titan into an 8/6

I recommend Augury Owl over Sage Owl. Looking at your top 4 is really nice, but if it's all land or all spells, or just a bunch of stuff you don't need at the moment, it's nice to get rid of it. With the scry you at least can ditch the unnecessary cards for better card advantage

Since you are running so many auras, you should consider Sage's reverie. It fits right in and gets you a hand again if you are topdecking

That would be more if you were trying to do something like GR auras
