@redhowler+ xzzane Engineered Explosives would be a wonderful alternative. I may Mainboard one and add a second to the Sideboard. Thanks for the suggestions!

@xzzane The deck is still in the testing phase, though, I'll get back at you once it's ready! :D

Ahh I see! I definitely already +1'd and I think this might be the kind of deck I jump into Modern with! :) A tad (a lot) more budget though :p haaha

Sounds like a plan! Just mention my name or leave a message on my profile when you want to plan our duel.

This is totally great. I am totally sold on this deck, because you play 2 of my three favorite cards. (Bolt and Bob.)

I think you may want to go up 1 or 2 on Pridemate, they're VERY powerful.

@NotSoLuckyLydia - Awesome. Thanks! Though, they're not the main focus, Dark Confidant and Lightning Bolt both work wonderfully well in here and both have very important roles within the deck.

+1 Ajani's Pridemate - I've been considering that for while, though, I'm just not certain on what to take out. Any suggestions?

Also, If you think it is deserving, a +1 is greatly appreciated! :D

I'd actually consider cutting Grim Lavamancer . I do like that card, but I don't think he's very good in the modern meta right now. The only decks he's powerful against are decks that you already have a good matchup against, like Affinity and Zoo (Depending on the Zoo build). Because you already have powerful lifegain, you'll easily jump out of those deck's reach before grim becomes relevant.

Yeah, Grim Lavamancer really hasn't been helping much lately. I generally don't have too many cards going to the graveyard anyways, so it normally doesn't do as much as I'd like it too. Thanks for the suggestion!

Mainboard:

3x Ajani's Pridemate 2x Arid Mesa 1x Bitterblossom 1x Blood Crypt 1x Brimaz, King of Oreskos 3x Cavern of Souls 3x Champion of the Parish 3x Dark Confidant 1x Dismember 1x Eiganjo Castle 3x Genesis Chamber 2x Godless Shrine 1x Hero of Bladehold 2x Lightning Bolt 3x Marsh Flats 2x Mentor of the Meek 1x Mountain 4x Norin the Wary 2x Orzhov Charm 2x Path to Exile 2x Plains 1x Purphoros, God of the Forge 3x Ranger of Eos 2x Sacred Foundry 2x Scalding Tarn 4x Soul Warden 3x Soul's Attendant 1x Swamp 1x Tectonic Edge

Sideboard:

2x Engineered Explosives 1x Fulminator Mage 2x Leyline of Sanctity 2x Rest in Peace 2x Sowing Salt 1x Stony Silence 2x Suppression Field 2x Tempest of Light 1x Wear / Tear

Maybe:

1-3x Cartel Aristocrat 1-2x Elspeth, Knight-Errant 1-2x Ethersworn Canonist 1x Keldon Megaliths 1x Legion Loyalist 1-2x Orzhov Pontiff 1x Searing Meditation 2x Thoughtseize 2-3x Xathrid Necromancer

Anything you guys see that I should switch up, Sideboard or Mainboard from Maybe? I would really like to include Searing Meditation , any suggestions?

I don't think Searing Meditation is good enough in modern. It's a 3 drop that does nothing on it's own, and isn't as good as Mentor of the Meek in most matchups.
