Umbric

I normally would agree, I used to play Espee Teachings with 3 copies of cryptic command and it actually wasn't so bad, it was actually my favorite deck, it was just bad against burn, which most of my meta is composed of sadly.

I don't like negate that much, if anything I would probably play test countersquall first then negate. But it doesn't seem like a bad inclusion.

Back to cryptic commanf, it's actually one of my favorite cards in modern so I feel like it would be a sin not to include at least one.

Lastly, I only posted 59 cards right now because Emrakul, the promised end is going in the main board.

You guys are too sensitive, it was obviously a joke in reference to Trump's ignorance. Go kbw somewhere else.

Skull Crack is better than voltaic hammer?

Oh I know, I was trying to help you out with ideas :p

So you win just by replaying creatures right? So instead why not just use grapeshot as a win condition instead of Polkukranos or Hornet queen? Also you need more card draw to be consistent so Serum visions is good. Also Simian spirit guide can allow you to get some good early mana, and lastly boseji to protect your combo and Pact of negation as well and you have yourself an infinite combo win condition in modern

Did you say Esper?

It stops Annihilator and fetch lands from being used. So yeah, you tell me.

So you're complaining that people are bitching, understable. So to beat the deck I now have to make a completely new deck, not my playstyle, and I own few of the cards.

And on top of it it only does very well against Eldrazi.

The people "complaining" are not wrong. A ban is needed, a deck this powerful should not have a deck built specifically to build it.

This isn't an aggro deck, I would add scavenging ooze, abrupt decay, maelstrom pulse, and a 24th and 9 fetches is simply too much I believe 6-7 is the prime numer, after that you are hurting your life total. 2 more voices and cut the sorin if possible. Also 4 loxodon skiers is too much and your curve is rediculous.

Cards I would take out

Sublime archangel
1x Gavony township
3x razor verge
Marsh flats
Wilt-leaf liege
1x siege rhino
2 loxodon smiter

Things I would add

More shock lands
Inquisition of kozilek
Abrupt decay
Scavenging ooze
Liliana of the veil
More voice
Kitchen finks main board

Your sideboard is wrong in a lot of ways, you can only have 15 cards not 18

And it doesn't stop many decks, I would add disenchant another stony silence, cestial purge, surgical extraction and possibly more firewalker or fulmi mayor mage.

Your decks curve is off and the reason you're not performing well is because of the high cmc of your creatures and lack of control on the board state and to call it "podless" is redundant, might as well just call it Abzan midrange

I see your problem here, you're playing standard

I see your problem here

No Rest for the weary?

Blood Moon is a problem that is for sure against tri colored decks. I play Esper Control in Modern and I run 4 copies of drowned catacombs in my deck along with 6 shocks and 7 fetchlands. The problem is that lighting bolt is now the most played cad in modern and so many shocks and fetches will cause you to be killed.

I think that 8 shock lands is a bit much that is 1/4 of your lands and 16 life not to mention the 4 verdant catacombs. I think maybe you should consider cutting down on two maybe the temple gardens and also add couple windswept heaths. I think another nice addition would be Knight of the Reliquary. But also instead of so many basics what about a couple Isolated Chapels/ Sunpetal Groves/ Woodland Cemetery just to make your mana base a little more reliable. A nice sideboard piece for graveyard hate might be Anafenza the foremost. Also I think thoughtseize in the sideboard against control to help against sweepers since that is your main concern.

This isn't even close to birthing pod, it's more of a Melira combo deck. Pod was the dexk, turn 2 on the play pod was often "gg" especially when you could just sac the creature in response to removal, and also the pod ability got around counters. This deck is very easily stopped by both of those things. Pod is dead let it rest in peace.

So I'm going to give my criticism as a modern player, take it as you will, as I hope I can help.

Firstly this is not modern playable for the fact that many of the cards aren't allowed in the modern format, cards like brainstorm and Flood Plain are not allowed in modern.

Secondly, modern is but doesn't have to be very expensive format. But to make the deck more consistent and to put it plainly, better, I would consider adding playsets of cards instead of one of's.

The cards I would add is, more Snapcaster Mages, a playset of Geist of Saint graft, sword of fire and ice, sword of light and shadow, and batter skull, I would also add more invisible stalkers, a playset of path of exile

As for lands, I would add flooded strands, Polluted Deltas, and a godless shrine

As for the counters, as I said take out dissipate and add remand and mana leak.

Gitaxian probe can also be used in white/ red

Draw cards is hard in one drop... wat

Serum visions, Gitaxian Probe, Peek, sleight of hand, Chromatic star, Chromatic sphere, faithless looting, origin spell bomb

What I love is mycosynth lattice march of the machines combo, all their lands die and if you have Leonin abunas, they have hexproof, and darksteel forge makes them indestructible. Clunky deck but a "fun" table top deck

I don't know if there is one, I'm sure there is but I just came up with the idea after I saw both black vice and the rack lol
