Deck Description

I feel this is the best deck in Modern, if you build it right. Iona+ Painter is insane, and will kill any deck that a hasted Emmy will not.

Deck discussion for [Modern] Mono-G 12 Post

Iona in Twelve Post is interesting, and will indeed give you matches which would otherwise be lost. I find it interesting that you also chose to include Painter's Servant for the lockdown combo, I wholeheartedly support this motion.

Overall your list is a great ramp list, with a great amount of consistency. Especially if you manage an entwined Tooth and Nail, where if it resolves I think I'd probably wind up scooping.
One piece of tech that I find quizzical is Flame-Kin Zealot, what purpose does it really serve? If you T&N out an Emrakul I assume?

Consistency is the aim with this list. To that end I'm thinking about walls over Explore and the Amulet.

FKZ is indeed to grab with Emmy. Since T&N doesn't grant haste and you don't get the extra turn, T&N into Emmy alone is much harder to disrupt than Emmy and FKZ.

An interesting little move is casting Painter in the mirror, as it prevents Ugin from searching. Not something to rely on, but I have used it to my advantage before.

I'm guessing by the desire for consistency you mean Wall of Omens? If so, it was good in eight post during that period, so I guess it could be good in twelve. If you mean a different wall I'm clueless.

I'm interested in Painter in post decks, it sounds like it could be a rather amusing stall in the mirror.

This is indeed interesting...A little "fragile", but with Extraction being nearly impossible in Modern, that won't be an issue most of the time.

One thing though, these 12-Posts get murdered by Moons. Have you considered anything to combat that?

A few days ago I finished a Gr list too, I'll post it. Has a nasty surprise for someone with only Blood Moons...

Sucks Cloudpost is now banned in modern. Anyways I did see that you where looking for consistency. Have you thought about using sylvan scrying to pull cloudposts?
