Finally got the stuff in to make this Modern Legal...stupid Ponders....as always, comments and +1s appreciated!
Milkaholic, the reason that I ran the 22 lands is to make sure that my T5 jace goes off, and if i can use his +0 move, that makes my Jace's Phantasm go bananas. I'm not arguing with you, just seeing if that makes sense. replacing the 2 lands and the PWs for the probes makes sense, but do you have any suggestion for the phantasms? without being able to mill out the ten, they seem more miss than hit.

Thought Scour is always a nice choice. If you are really concerned about it, Dream Twist also works. But with 4 LotU and 4 Phantasmal Images, you'll often get the phantasm to 2/2 or 3/3, and those stats on a flyer for 1 cmc makes it very far above the curve

I always preferred Serum Visions to Sleight of Hand. But there are pros and cons.

ooh that actually bears some thought. i can see the immediate awesomeness of a 2 card scry, even if i am forced to draw the top card. I may use that.

The only issue with Serum Visions is that it is 8 bucks a piece.

At this point, I would suggest making it a modern legal deck and swapping the Ponders for Sleight of Hand.
In a mono colored aggro, run 18-20 lands, not 22. I also recommend Gitaxian Probe as it is a free draw and also enables a T3 Illusory Angel.
Since you don't really plan on milling your opponent, I think Jace, Memory Adept should be removed. Personally, I'd take him and the two islands out for a set of probes, but if you have your heart set on a planeswalker, I suggest either Jace Beleren or Jace, the Living Guildpact.
