I feel you need a way to not just outright die to combo or burn decks...

4x gravecrawler4x mutavault2x urborgWould help a lot.Otherwse, the deck seems too slow.
I know, but if you had snapcasters its like having access to more of them.(only reason I stated it)Snap caster can buy you a turn by blocking creatures etc while producing value.My lifegain I use profane momento, costs less, and still heals decent.
valorous stance and god's willing are normally the go to options.Stance also can kill big creatures.
Not really.All of the midrange decks are great at taking out masses of creatures.Also the best deck in th format is control atm...(I know I play it)You can still have a lot of creatures with 4-8 spells to protect them.
too many creatures, no way to protect them, deck folds to removal.
I would try to fit a few snapcasters into the deck(maybe -1 incursion -1 orb?)Besides that deck seems great.This is my blue/Black list:http://www.mtgvault.com/viagrasaurusrex/decks/dimir-millmodern/
I find the worst match ups are: R/G tron(almost unwinnible), Wilted Abzan and infect.Jund is a 50/50 match up, Affinity really depends who is on the play, most aggro decks we can out race.Darkblast is a great card for the sideboard when facing affinity.Top picks for the sideboard would be:-4x Surgical extraction(almost a must)-Illness in the ranks(tokens, twin, storm)-Darkblast(affinity, infect, decks that have lots of 1 toughness.)-Some type of GY hate(you have spellbomb, relic, cage and crypt also work.)-leyline of sanctity(if you use this only do it as a 4 of, gives you a 40% chance to have one in your opening hand. Burn, storm, jund, other random combo decks.)-Spellskite(Boggles, twin, infect. would only do this is infect and boggles take up a larger than normal portion of your meta.) (boggles folds to bridge game one, infect doesn't... early game discard is key.)(also can block champion when facing affinity)-misc removal spells that fit your meta
beseech the queen over diabloic...
The deck is made to destroy blue...There isn't a single combo deck that should be able to beat this deck.(besides the odd time)You just need to know what to target and when to target it.Plus sideboard cards help, a lot.
Mine is more of a copy of legacy counter slivers rather than just sliver beat down.I like tempo better than aggro(control player at heart, tempo just feels right lol)
phantasmal image is pretty good at being sinew/pred sliver 9-12.Also is basically ditto being whatever you want it to be.http://www.mtgvault.com/viagrasaurusrex/decks/counter-sliver-2/this is my modern counter slivers list, basically plays like fish, I don't think the mana slivers are really needed.
The -1 is very relevant now that DRS is banned also.1 toughness mana dorks are all over on top of being able to deal with a lot of creatures in modern.
http://www.mtgvault.com/viagrasaurusrex/decks/br-8rack-modern/This is my current list.It is basically an auto win vs combo, and is strong vs any blue based decks.infect/r-g tron can be rough, aggro decks are also tough.Slower decks like midrange or combo decks are what you want to play.Depending on meta it is a monster.
I'm working on a modern turbo fog deck lolSo far on cockatrice it has been wrecking, but we all know most of the players on there are bad:P.I love playing lesser known or fringe decks.8-rackDimir milland Turbo fog are my babies.
Seems fine to me lol. I'm a fan of both of those cards.You deck is decently poised vs most decks.Game 1 will come down to which half of the deck you draw.Game 2 should be much better.
I cant really comment on a sideboard with out knowing what your meta is like.He can be, he just 3 turns of surviving without pump spells...Temporal Extortion is another card that may just not cut it, these kinda choose cards are always bad, well besides vexing devil.Pack rat is a good card, dodges removal very well after a few turns, and turns any late game blank draws into fuel.I like it and have played it in modern.
It just seems like you're forcing skittles the blight dragon into your deck... better off as any other card.
Was going to say the same thing.
kk Wasn't sure because you had a decent cost to the deck, most people on here don't do that for casual.(I'm a modern player so yeah...)NP that's cool it's a neat deck and probably could be ported to modern with some slight changes.
