well yea, There are tons of different avenues that you could take the deck. Either way having some sort of text about "next steps" as far as better/more expensive cards was were my real focus for comment was. I just gave a quick example of things they could do.

My Thoughts: Shadowspear doesn't do enough here. we really never plan on dashing it in. so if we -3 there we can finish off our cards we really want 4 ofs anyway.. which is Champion, Butcher and RabblemasterNext changes I would make are - 2 spear - 1 atheros for 3 stoke the flames or 3 lightning strikes, The burn is a lot more tempo than the slow spear affect. Now looking at land base, the tapped lands (temples) should probably be avoided. The 4 nomads are the only tapped lands i would play. I would -2 templeo f triump for + 2 battelfield forge and -1 temple of silence for +1 caves of koilios. This is assuming you don't want to buy fetches. Bloodstained mire works very well here.I'm not liking the chief of the edge, if you make the spell changes above to more burn, Seeker of the way just may be better 2 drop then chief.
Would also look for addtions here for $$ cards.. Things like a nice progression would be +4 bloostained mires and maybe some a swamp source in SB so you can have access to regen deathbellow
Where are the Perilous Vaults? I think 2 is needed somwhere int he 75. It helps a ton with any kind of recursion playWas Kiora in the MB for Fabiano? It doesn't seem to fit here or maybe a 3 of is a lot. I don't think the 4th ashiok is needed in SB. Where is the Jace's Ingenuity? those are my thoughts.
I agree with necrumlisice. Its so versatile for this format. I would put it in.If you had the money i woudl probably exchange the 2 gain lains for 2 more mana confluence. You really can't afforad a lot of tapped lands
probably bad here cause you can't control too much of where the bolster goes. would rather see Incremental growth for a similar effect
purse does to for the Altar win..
You can also do a 4x briber's purse for 4 more win cons (does the same as Astral Cornucopia)
Then by the time he draw it, he probably already has 8 mana.. so again too many mana dorks.
How does he expect to see Ugin with only 2 copies?
Well consistency, I would try to do one thing.. either tokens or altar.. not both. Then you can include some more draw or control type cards. I would lean towards the tokens for mana, and possible use the new fate reforged card Fascination.. If you get the combo off, you can mill both of you, then pass turn. Otherwise you can use it to draw some cards for you to find missing pieces4 if it goes late.. yes it draws your opponent cards as well, but if you find your combo its is a moot point. As far as mana base, depending on budget, You NEED 4 flooded strand. That way you can fetch out lands, rather than draw them. You also probably want to run 4 of the U/W scry lands. but again. Budget may stop you here.
I woudl Add Mardu Woe-reaper, probably take out the general for it. In stead of 4 utter ends. I would run 4 Valorous Stance.
I like this, butI think you need the Setessan Tactics main board. Its your only type of creature removal. 4 mystic and 4 caryatid seems a bit over kill as well. I probably would dump some caryatids for something else.. maybe sedge scorpion? so you can have some trade ups? have you considered adding Yisan?
You may also consider adding Reliquary Tower 1 - 2 copies
I still think you need soem more land search cards.. Journey of Discovery, Kodama's Reach as if you need to be able to pull out of the deck as you may not draw into them
I feel like Sphere of Safety should be taken out and hve Ghost Prison in place. Same as the blue propaganda, so it lowers the cost and allows 8x total of those effects... Sphere might not get as nuts here as we are planning on it
needs more Altar of the Brood if you are going for mill.. also consider sakura tribe elder if you go this route.. as you play the creature then sac it for a land search. which i feel is what you are missing. You seed to be able to pull lands out of your deck to maximize the other affects.
My 2 picks would be either 1. Fyndhorn Elder2. Farhaven Elf
What to replace Elvish Aberration with to make it modern legal?
and when everyone side boards in Erase? you probably need every copy you can get. to secure the combo.
