I love this so much.

If you replace the Swords to Plowshares with Path to Exile's, you would have a sweet modern deck.

No win-con is evil, and I am all for it. I love control so much >:)

The funny thing is that I wanted to make this list because I play a lot of Dimir control in pauper hahaha. And yeah, I sadly can't afford the good cards, so this is what I am left with... I could get more spell snares, but I think the main 60 is okay for now. The SB will change for sure, I just haven't tested enough yet.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but Dig Through Time, Brainstorm, Mystical Tutor, and Mystic Sanctuary are banned in the modern format.

The lands are almost perfect, I just would like an Undercity Sewers or two

The deck also only needs a few creatures and the ones you listed are more of less commander cards that will not work in this build.

I was considering Snapcaster Mage at one point, but the deck needs a lot of instants and sorceries to make Murktide and Tolarian Terror to work.

Take some time and read this: https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Modern

It will help you understand the modern format.

Cryptic Serpent is an easy cut for me, so those can go for 2 more Thoughtseize. I want to test the charms out more because at worst it's a draw 2. Sure, 3 mana is a lot, but all my lands tap for blue so I am not worried about that. More testing will be done for sure, thanks for the input.

What do you mean?

I removed the 3 Snap and added a 2nd Spell Pierce and 2 Archaeomancer. Haven't tested it as of posting this, but I like how the list is looking now.

A couple of small changes to my list:

-2 Thraben Inspector
+2 Novice Inspector
(Splitting the two for Echoing Truth/Decay)

SB:
-1 Navagator's Compass
-2 Smash to Dust
+1 Lone Missionary
+2 Fiery Cannonade

Eye of Ugin is banned in the Modern format

I am going to test This:
-1 Navigator's Compass
-1 Rebirth
-1 Deadly Dispute

+ 3 Refurbished Familiar

It's just not the deck for Refurbished Familiar. The numbers are not final by any means for the cards I have listed. I have tested other artifacts and might even change the numbers to have more Candy Trail because it's so good. Navigator's compass is on the short list of easy to cut cards, but I love hosing burn main deck xD

I haven't had any issues with the amount of bounce effects I have. I never use snap on my own creatures. Snap is for big threats that I can't kill, so I bounce them and counter them after. Or, just throw off combat math. I have thought of Archaeomancer, but could never really find the room. I could test some other configurations.

MH3 was finally added, so the list has been updated with all the cards!

Commenting to bring this back to the top.

What format are you building for?

I am going to try Pick your Poison soon. I have $0 to spend on cards for another week, so I can't try cards I don't have. I'm struggling in the money department, hahaha.

I was going to have Wear/Tear, but it's a 3 drop and Raptor can't 'cascade' into it. I know there are better options out there, but I haven't done a deep dive yet.

Gush and Treasure Cruise are banned in Pauper

List has been updated as of 3/18/24

Going to be working on this deck a bit more even with Pick Your Poison in every sideboard.
