Welcome to my first attempt at making a modern deck! As someone who is a standard fanboy, it was a little hard to try and build a deck in an format that I'm not too familiar with, but nonetheless here it is.

I went with a Blue/Red Delver shell and built it up from there. After seeing just what the Jeskai Charm can do, I decided that making the deck Jeskai would give me more options and make the deck a little more unpredictable!

Card Explanations

Creatures:

-Delver of Secrets: What isn't to love about a 3/2 flier on turn 2? Delver is the backbone of this deck. While he does die to many common forms of removal (Lightning Bolt, Magma Jet, Doom Blade, ect.), with stuff like Izzet Charm and Spell Pierce, Delver of Secrets will more than likely survive.

-Geist of Saint Traft: Angels. Angles everywhere. While removal can't do much against him, he is still very prone to being blocked. Early game he can connect for massive damage but late game not so much. However, he is still relatively powerful and is just all around great.
