New Narset and Teferi should really have slots in this. Personally I'd drop 1 Izzet charm, 1 Counterspell, and 1 Spell Snare for 2x Teferi Time Raveler and 1x Narset, Parter of Veils.

+1 from me though, nice to see a legacy deck on here for a change.

Here are a few decks you'll be facing. This grand prix had over 400 players and I doubt you could beat 75 percent of them.

Alright, enough. I will pay for you to take this exact deck to the next grand prix. At least 100 people need to show up and you must provide video evidence of you playing this exact deck, card for card. I've saved a screenshot of the deck. Of you do not finish as well as you claim you must pay me back. Put your money where your mouth is and prove us wrong.

Sir, this a turn 0 win if you're on the draw. Which is why you should be playing gemstone caverns and go second every time.

How much of a budget do you have? And how competitive do you want the deck to be?
From an aggro standpoint your curve is 2, which is 2 slow for modern.(<-- See what I did there?!) I could just point you to any modern burn list and say, there you go! However, seeing as how the deck is cheap, I imagine you want to keep it that way.
First and foremost, enchantments are not good. You should just drop them for any copy of lightning bolt. I.e. Lava Spike, Rift Bolt, Lightning bolt, etc.
Monastery Swiftspear is a fantastic creature. Eidolon of the Great Revel WILL hurt them more than you. Grim Lavamancer is a good choice. If you don't want to invest in Goblin Guides, Rakdos Cackler or Vexing Devil are solid choices.

Again, it all depends on how much you're willing to invest into the deck and how competitive you want to be with it.

Personally I run both. The value of Goblin Dark Dwellers and Stone/Molten Rain is fun stuff. Also flashes back a beast within.

This deck looks pretty close to what I've come to after playing it for a the last year. A few tweaks after the last standard sets but pretty close.
Honestly I feel that 2 Blood Moon and 2 Magus of the Moon is better because Magus can be a clock if need be.
I haven't tried stormbreath dragon yet, I feel like I should, but I don't know if I can justify dropping it since I personally run both Stone Rain and Molten Rain, since both are 3 cmc and can be flashed back by Dark Dwellers.
Beast Within is nice because it is instant speed and deals with more than just land, but I feel like if you don't have a fattie in hand you're just asking to get punished by that 3/3.
How has Chandra Pyromaster been working for you? She seems good for the 0 ability, but her ultimate seems really low impact in this deck and her +1 can be okay, but generally isn't. I think Garruk Wildspeaker is better since you can ult him with a bunch of Elves and birds in play and kill them that way.

Here's a link to my version;

I'd really like to hear what you think based on how you put yours together.
I'd love to know how Stormbreath has performed for you since I've been seriously considering finding room for it in my deck. I'd also like to hear how Pyromaster and mainboard Bonfire has been for you.

I love these types of decks though, +1 from me!

"Yes, shorter comments would be much appreciated by all of us on here reading your poorly constructed sentences. Hell you deck is constructed better than your comments."

If I could +1 that comment a thousand times I would.

Legacy only has 5 counterspells that matter and only 2 of those are 1 mana and only 1 of those is legal in modern.

Force of will
Daze
Flusterstorm
Counterspell
Spell Pierce

Also, Asturonethorius, enjoy decks you can't beat.

One more final comment before I unsuscribe;
You cannot sit there and say this is THE best version if you don't get out there and play against the best. Play against the likes of Sam Black, Gerard Fabiano or Reid Duke.
Sitting here and saying the deck your playing is the best land destruction deck ever because you take to fnm and do relatively well would be like me saying that my standard enchantment deck is the best deck because I went into the top 8 of my local fnm a few times and never once playing against someone almost if not as skilled as Brad Nelson.

Yes, going to a Grand Prix or a Pro Tour is expensive, so is every hobby, but to actively sit on a website and say your deck is the best tier 1/1.5/2 or whatever deck without actually going out and getting results from playing against truly skilled people is just ridiculous. Claiming to be the best means you have to play against the best and prove that it is exactly as you say.

Have fun, I hope the veins in your forehead don't explode from reading this.

I did read and did understand it, please don't assume I'm an ignorant child that doesn't know how to read.

You have very few finishers. You're trying to win the game with 5-6 mana 4/4's and only 2 of them at that. Mimic vat is cool and all but is easily answered by Kolaghan's Command or Abrupt Decay, two very heavily played cards. 90 percent of your creature base are answered by lightning bolt. The most played removal spell in modern. The other heavily played removal spells include terminate, go for the throat, lightning helix, and path to exile.

The vast majority of decks in modern only need 2-3 mana to function, so yes, resource denial is a real plan and personally my favorite plan. I play it in every format I can. Death and Taxes in legacy, Stone Rain dot deck in modern and hatebears in commander.

The stone rain plan is fun and does well against control, but control is bad in modern so very few people play it.

Logic, reason and playtesting are the reasons I am saying your deck would not work well against actual tier 1 decks.

I know the breakdown of the deck, I did read it and I read the cards in your deck that I didn't know. Your sideboard has 4 cards that would actually be good against aggro and only 2 copies of 1 card that is good against infect.

Yes, I am using aggro as an example because over half of the tier 1 decks are aggro and I'm using tier 1 decks as an example because you want this deck to be tier 1.

As I've said, I've played the deck competitively for a while and against players that are incredibly competent. So I can say from plenty of experience that this deck does not do well in a competitive environment. If your only goal is to take it to a FNM I've already said the deck looks fine for doing just that.

You seem to be focused on the price of decks, so let me just say that you can build an expensive deck and have it still be bad. All it takes are a few scalding tarns and some snapcaster mages. Most people that have the expensive cards have simply been playing a while and got them when they were cheap.

Your words real quick; "The deck does well against TRON, MIDRANGE, KIKI CHORD. IT DESTROYED A MODERN FORMAT WEREWOLF DECK. IT DESTROYED NAYA MIDRANGE."
Those are not tier 1 decks. Tron, and Kiki Chord are tier 1.5, the other decks were built for fun. Again, it is very easy to have a deck be expensive and still be bad, all it takes are a couple of zendikar fetches and a goyf or 2.

This deck is not new, it has been tried before and it lacks something to push into a top tier. Other versions are close.

You should really consider changing your list to just R/G and focus on Stone Rain, Molten Rain and Boom//Bust and flashing them back with Goblin Dark-Dwellers.

For infect sideboard Sudden Shock is king, Melira, Sylvok Outcast is pretty good too.

Thragusk is super good against Jund and a lot of other things. Pretty good against aggro too since it gains you life and eats a removal spell and probably a creature.

I play land destruction competitively and have consistently been in the top 8 of larger events. Your deck cannot beat infect or affinity. Your deck can't beat aggro period. No attempt has been made to deal with aggressive decks. You have literally 0 interaction with aggressive decks until turn 2 at the earliest assuming you discard 2 spirit guides, but then you're trading 3 for 1 against aggro and that is not a place you want to be.
Tier 1 decks are tier 1 for a reason, if you want to beat them you have to tailor your deck to beating them.
Your deck cannot beat a turn 1 inquisition followed by a turn 2 thoughtseize and bolt your mana dork into a turn 3 Goyf. Your match up against Jund is atrocious.
Zoo kills you too fast, Dredge stomps you.

Don't get me wrong, it looks good as a casual deck and/or a fun deck to take to a fnm.
But this is not tier 1.
Not that you'll listen and you'll probably find some way to call me an idiot or just straight out call me an idiot, as you've done to several others here.

I've been playing r/g land destruction competitively in modern now and have tweaked it over and over again, the best you can hope for is tier 1.5 and you accept that you lose against infect and have a bad match up against Jund. As Puschkin said, take this to a Grand Prix or Pro Tour and actually play against competent players playing tier 1 decks. Put up some results and everyone here will shut up.

Crusader is good, but Crusader and Avenger will be dropped once conspiracy 2 hits shelves. New white Recruiter and the Chalice of the void on a stick are going in.
Recruiter as 4 of and Chalice Guy as a 1 or 2 of.
The 3 drop slot has always been a kind of beater slot, but now all the three drops matter.

Please read my suggestion.
2x Pendelhaven
4x Inkmoth Nexus

Like I said, it really depends on your budget and how competitive you want to be. Infect is pretty much solved for modern.
Before the hate flows my way be aware that I'm all for tweaking decks to personal tastes or local metas, but Inkmoth is there because it's a creature that can only be dealt with at instant speed and it's always a land so it cannot be targeted by abrupt decay. It also has evasion with flying and it's an artifact creature so it cannot be targeted by Go for the Throat.
Pendelhaven is a pump spell that doesn't take up a spell slot.

As I said, I'm all for tweaking decks to personal tastes or local metas, it all boils down to how competitive you want to be with the deck and how much you're willing to spend.

I mean, it's a 2 card combo that gives you a flying, indestructible 20/20 at instant speed. ;)

40 dollars for a card that has proven itself irreplaceable in several decks across several eternal formats is really not as expensive as you think.
Unless you're talking about the pain lands and shock lands, in which case I don't even know what you're talking about since the buddy lands you already have are only slightly less expensive than their shock land counterparts. The pain lands are actually cheaper, except for brushland, I have no idea what's going on with that.
Almost every hobby is pay to play, at least you can sell the cards later and get most of it back.
