Through the Breach

Instant — Arcane

You may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield. That creature gains haste. Sacrifice that creature at the beginning of the next end step.

Splice onto Arcane (As you cast an Arcane spell, you may reveal this card from your hand and pay this card's splice cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.)

I feel like your land count is a bit too low considering you need to reach 5 mana to do much. I get you have a few cards that can ramp you.., but I would have still thought 22-23 lands be more ideal.

As far as better creature targets to cheat out, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is getting reprinted in Double Masters 2 coming out soon, so might become cheap enough for you to pick up some copies - the card feels like the obvious best-choice for any strategy involving Ilharg, the Raze-Boar/Through the Breach/Goryo's Vengeance.

gameflips Going into red, the strongest thing I can think if is throwing Emrakul out with Through the Breach - though note this will probably mean having to play a full playset of Emrakul, so might break the bank balance. Ilharg, the Raze-Boar is also another option (though you’ll prolly want some way for it to have haste). These options all sound pretty expensive money-wise though.

If you’re sticking with the Elvish Piper strategy, I think Postmortem Lunge becomes a must, so you can do it at instant speed. I can’t think of how red can help with this strategy though… green is the colour if ramp, and green & white both excel at protection. Red doesn’t really have any protection options at all, and all it’s ramp is very bursty/short-lived. I’d say the best reason to add red would be for board-control, to restrict what you’re opponent’s doing. So stuff like Lightning Bolt & Lightning Helix could be worth your time if you were planning on playing the combo more “slowly & reliably”.

Goryo's decks tend to be in red for Through the Breach or Nahiri, the Harbinger or in green for Oath of Nissa this is something worth considering... In this sort of deck Bloodchief's Thirst should almost certainly be Bone Shards and you might want to consider some number of Obzedat, Ghost Council which can get round the goryo's exile clause because of how the triggers can be stacked. Also you probably want 4 copies of Goryo's Vengeance...

Your sideboard is lacking a plan for graveyard hate, the relatively recent Fracture is a good choice since it can deal with all of the most common forms of graveyard hate, outside of creatures, which you have plenty of other answers to.

Hi lagotripha! What I like about Fold into AEther is that it isnt a dead card (per se) without a fatty in hand. Both Shape Anew and Hard Evidence seem rather weak on their own. Quicksilver Amulet requires a mana investment of in total which seems like a poor rate for a 6 euro card.

Now, I've had my eyes on Dramatic Entrance for a while. I could move to for example Simic Sky Swallower or any other green fatty for that matter to add Entrance as a 5th or even 6th cheat copy. I've also seen people play Through the Breach but I'd rather not add a third color right now.

Do you think the extra 1-2 copies would be worth switching creatures for Entrance?

@ BEDECK:

I like Through the Breach as it serves as a backup if I have Emrakul in my hand and no tokens to Polymorph or Transmogrify.

Valakut Awakening  Flip, Fire Prophecy and See Beyond are good ways to reshuffle Emrakul back.

Aquatic Incursion provides Hexproof creatures to prevent removal on them.

Boseiju, Who Shelters All also can make your combo uncounterable.

I don't think you need the 4 Emrakuls... only 2. Unless you intend on playing Through the Breach MD or SB.

I see the Mass Polymorph in there. Have you tried making a deck dedicated to it instead? (A deck that doesn't necessarily brings ONLY JUST Emrakul). Mass Polymorph has the potential to win the game on the spot withXenagos, God of Revels, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Archon of Cruelty, Blazing Archon, Platinum Angel entering the board on the same time :V

Normally I do like Temur Battle Rage for what it does, but since all of your bombs already come with trample, I feel like Assault Strobe would be better here. Another possible swap is Smokebraider for Generator Servant . Braider can't help you cast Through the Breach but does stick around after creating mana, something that is especially valuable for Nova Chaser . You could also just run both by dropping something like the somewhat slow Rift Bolt or Tormenting Voice .

You might want to look into cards like Elvish Piper or Quicksilver Amulet if you’re trying to cheat in Emrakul. Hardcasting is exceedingly slow for Modern, and while Through the Breach works, you have to inevitably sacrifice her and wait to try again later.
