Yeah, this game is incredibly busted. Not according to WotC though, since we all saw the last banlist (or lack there-of) recently.But this is why I am trying to make a deck specifically designed to spite the main types of decks being played and largely exploited in Modern currently. I haven't got all the cards, or time, to test it all out, but the theory is there for now. That being said, I could always use some advice when attempting this sort of thing.https://www.mtgvault.com/reaperandross/decks/delving-into-nightmares/

Considering that both of you play with grief, maybe that's your problem...When pitched it takes 2 cards to hit 1 card.When pitched and "scammed", you use 3 cards to take out 2 cards.In either case it's a -1 cardadvantage for you.Even when these are hardcast it's a matter of being a 1 for 1 trade.There's also the consideration of card quality to attend, to as any incarnation needs to eat up a coloured card, meaning that you are forced to abandon card quality as well. If only you could cheat that aspect, you could perhaps pitch by land instead.So consider painter's servant.It could colour your lands making them pitch able, and it's a card that has a past in hosing various colours, you just have to look at what hosers might give you the benefits.Looking at the modern meta I would certainly run an old paper deck, based on leyline of sanctity and leyline of the void (two of each in main, 1 of each in board)The overall deck was using white to play a number of creatures with protection from black and red, but it also featured mindshrieker, which was in the deck to be grown by all my spells which overall had a high cost due to cards like the leylines or shriekmaw, dismember and so on.In an environment where your opponents play a lot of cards that are rarely hardcast, mindshrieker is pretty powerful, which is something I wrote about when the incarnations were printed, because they, I see patterns and how that would form.Then again, I wouldn't trust the meta except at larger tournaments, where things reflect the known archetypes.At local tournaments I'd start from scratch and play several deck types played at random intervals while figuring out what the meta is really doing.But if you are trying to just beat the publisher metagame, then it's rather easy, as all new archetypes have a major vulnerability. They are prepared for new cards...The past of magic will have had similar problems, and so, if you dig deep enough, you will find tech.Like painter's servant.Go through the deck archetypes and break down what isn't playable, or how you can crack the hosers.If you can't get a draw engine started because of orcish bowmasters, could you get around it by simply playing gut shot?Solutions like that are always there.Go through every card in every deck type, break down any weaknesses and simply build up an arsenal. Then you figure out which weaponry hits most deck types and you will be on track again.(Gut shot deals with both ragavan & bowmasters, and hello, two gut shots even take out grief if you try to ephemerate it)Speaking of ephemerate, back in the past it wasn't actually the go to blink card. Momentary blink was the one card everyone went to in that time, because it could be split up unlike ephemerate which sort of runs automatically regardless of you have creatures, and as such it can be abused by players who want you to bounce their stuff. (I'd play sage of epityr in my 5 shriekers deck)
Part of the reason that I decided to go with Grief in that deck though, is that the Evoke cost is actually an advantage to me, considering Ashiok is the endgame and requires my own cards in exile.As for Gutshot, I don't own any. And my local doesn't have any either.Painter's Servant could be an interesting colour-hate deck, if you can find a way to consistently keep it alive and avoid cards like Fury. But there are quite a few white decks that just run cards like Paladin En-Vec to just avoid them.
Hehe, or you could just use ephemerate in a pinch ;)
